The way to "destroy" Hollywood is to encourage decentralization, as has been occurring for the past twenty or thirty years. With film & TV production moving outside of southern California to Canada and other US states, the localized production power of Hollywood has been disseminated to other regions. The distribution for high-budget films currently remains in Hollywood, but increasingly the Internet (as distribution, financing & marketing outlets) and in the long-term local demand in China, India, Africa & the Middle East will begin to pull global distribution control away from Hollywood even for big-budget movies.
It is the decentralization of movie making that will destroy Hollywood, not start-ups.

However, I think humans in general tend to like to see the same actors in movies time and time again so finding a way to decentralize production but still keeping popular actors involved can be a bit of a challenge. From what I understand, the actors unions are probably currently limiting some talented people from becoming well known actors so balancing this out could help as well, however I don't think we can get away anytime soon from the appeal that certain people have to audiences, however the rest of it is all interchangeable, in my opinion, writing and special effects work can be done anywhere as can the actual filming of the movies.
