I am a giant proponent of giant screens. But I accept the fact that most of my movies are going to be seen on phones.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are certain films you want to see on the big screen.
There'll always be movies that are meant for the big screen, and they should be seen that way.
I think most people, no matter their status now, have big screen TVs, because they're the standard TVs now. And so why would you go to the cinema?
If you really love films, and you really want to get the full impact, there's a huge difference between watching something on a small screen with a mediocre sound system and watching it on a giant screen in a giant theater with a huge beautiful sound system. I mean, the difference is electric.
Cell phones tend to bring us more inside of our lives whereas movies offer a chance to escape, so there are two competing forces.
There's something about the impact of a big screen that means something to me, even though I realize almost every film is fated to be seen for a year in theaters, and then forever after on television.
We want to make movies for the big screen. We want people to go to the theater and feel like they're watching a movie.
You could have the biggest screen, you could have the clearest screen. But if there is not great content on this thing, that big-screen TV is not a huge value to you, even though it has the best picture on the planet.
I don't go to the cinema often anymore - I'd rather just pop in a disk and get the biggest monitor you've got, and if the quality is superb, I can watch a film, and if I don't like it I can pop it out.
I always direct next to the camera and watch my actors, and so you can see the small things that you can't see on the small screen but you can definitely see on the big screen.
