One of the most debated topics in Hollywood in recent years is how to shoot movies and how they will be released. In particular, the excessive use of computer technologies in terms of shooting, and the films that have started to be broadcast on online broadcasting platforms are at the center of the discussions in terms of how the films will be screened.
The last names involved in the discussion were the brothers Joe and Anthony Russo, the famous directors of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter for their latest movie, The Gray Man, they shot for Netflix, the Russo Brothers explained their opinions on the subject.
“It’s nonsense to sanctify movie theaters”
Joe Russo said: “We are in a crisis because everyone is at war with each other. It is sad to see that as those who grew up in love with movies. It is important to keep in mind that going to the movies is an elitist concept, it is very expensive. The idea that ‘the movie theaters we hold on to are sacred’ is nonsense.” used the phrase.
In addition, the director says that thanks to the broadcasting platforms, more content can be accessed for the same money, and that people can share their platform subscriptions, and that it is crazy to start a culture war on this issue.
Russo, who said that it is necessary to go beyond glorifying “auteur” cinema, which is mentioned with directors such as Hitchcock, who once showed his own style and had a say in every stage of the films, said, “Auteur cinema is now 50 years old. We grew up with it, it was very important for us. But we also believe that the world needs to change. And we realize that the more we oppose change, the more chaos we cause. It’s no one’s place to reject the ideas of new generations.” used the phrases.
The Gray Man movie, signed by the Russo Brothers, also took the title of the most expensive movie produced by Netflix. The film was released in a limited number of theaters in the United States before it premiered on Netflix screens on July 22.
