By Actor/producer Leonardo DiCaprio says he’s concerned about the future of moviegoing, with much of that coming from the public’s attitude toward cinemas.
The Oscar winner reportedly recently slammed AI in film, saying the technology is incapable of humanity and thus isn’t authentic art.
This week, speaking with The Times of London, the actor says he’s not sure if cinemas on a major scale will soon exist and wonders if they’ll become a niche thing sooner rather than later.
He explains that the pace of change has already had a big impact on attitudes:
“It’s changing at a lightning speed. We’re looking at a huge transition. First, documentaries disappeared from cinemas. Now, dramas only get finite time and people wait to see it on streamers. I don’t know. Do people still have the appetite? Or will cinemas become silos – like jazz bars?
I just hope enough people who are real visionaries get opportunities to do unique things in the future that are seen in the cinema. But that remains to be seen.”
The comments come after his most recent film, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” grossed more than $205 million worldwide.
