Martin Scorsese fears the type of movies he makes is being edged out by the blockbuster.
The Oscar-winning director’s latest film, Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story By Martin Scorsese, his first for Netflix, is a semi-fictional documentary that chronicles the musician’s 1975-1976 trek across a post-Vietnam America.
And in an interview with the Associated Press (AP), the filmmaker criticized the practice of blockbuster films such as Avengers: Endgame dominating the majority of screens at movie theatres.
“We have to fight back at this practice of overwhelming the market with the blockbuster. The – how should I put it? – the regular film, that’s being edged out,” he said. “It has to go someplace because you know why? There are people that are going to continue to make them.”
The 76-year-old, who has not had a film financed by a major studio in 10 years, will also release his much-anticipated, $125 million (£98.6 million) mafia epic The Irishman in the fall after the streaming giant was the only studio prepared to finance it.
“No one else (wanted to finance it). No one else did,” he insisted. “We decided to make it with the understanding that it’ll maybe never be shown in theatres. They said, ‘You would have a time in theatres’ – a few weeks or whatever. I said fine.
Martin Scorsese: 'The blockbuster is edging out regular films'
The sun don't shine if son don't shine apparently.
You don't gotta call it jealous but it's CLEAR his comments were influenced by how his films are being viewed by the fans and the studios in relation to other genres. He wasn't just throwing out some off hand commentary, nor did he REALLY want to debut his shyt on Netflix, he was forced to because nobody wanted to give him Black Panther money to make another movie about the mob.
don’t these lames know anything
