An interesting report over at the ever reliable Dark Horizons. Changing Tatum has dropped a bit of a truth bomb on the industry.
He was out promoting his new film – Roofman – and he gave an interview to the Hot Ones YouTube channel and was asked about a comment he made that streamers have had an impact on the industry that is both good and bad.
He gave a detailed answer:
“I think, now, when you get asked to do a movie, or you’re trying to get a movie made, it’s a very confused pipeline of possibilities.
And it really feels like, at times, that you’re incentivised to make bad things to get paid, rather than make something really, really good, for the f— people that actually get to see these things and people that I want to see these movies, the person that I was when I was a kid, I want good movies.
I’m like, ‘Man, I want to give my money to the good movies.’ It’s such an upside-down moment. But I do believe that the disruption is going to lead to something good. I do believe the streamers came in for a reason, and it had to change. It had to morph.”
As part of the same interview, Tatum said his 2010 movie Dear John was completely generic.
