Also, they most definitely will not.

Big studios don't accept unsollicited movie ideas from the people. (Small studios don't do it either, actually). If they get anything, these submissions never leave the mail room (or the digital equivalent thereof).

If a writer were to read a fan fiction, it could influence his ideas and, unconsciously, slip into future writing, if not on this project then on an unrelated one. They wouldn't credit the fan fic writer, who knows they sent their story/concept to the studio, so that would open them up for litigation for plagiarism. This is an industry standard on most branches of the entertainment industry.

They get tons of fan submitted stories; they can't read them all and they won't read anything. Even if you swear you sign over all rights to them, they still don't do it as it's a waste of labor.

There are plenty of good, bad and mediocre ideas in the minds of their contracted/experienced/licensed writers that they don't need some random well-meaning amateur's suggestions to make bank. The cost of a lawsuit outweighs any gain they could have from that one brilliant fan submitted storyline in the ocean of crud they get sent.
