In a recent interview with Deadline, he expressed his concerns about the impact of streaming services on the movie industry, which partly influenced his decision. He criticized the current state of filmmaking, referring to it as the worst in Hollywood history.
He considered the meaning of a motion picture in the age of streaming, questioning whether it’s merely something shown on Apple or other platforms. He mentioned Reynolds’ lucrative deals with Netflix as an example of movies made for streaming that he’s unfamiliar with. He said,
“I mean, and I’m not picking on anybody, but apparently for Netflix, Ryan Reynolds has made $50 million on this movie and $50 million on that movie and $50 million on the next movie for them. I don’t know what any of those movies are. I’ve never seen them. Have you?”
As the director is ready to retire from making films, the model of traditional cinema will change noticeably as a consequence of the development of streaming services and the changing nature of the business.
Meanwhile, Reynolds has embraced working with multiple streaming platforms, focusing on his success and substantial paychecks. The actor has become a prominent figure in the streaming world, although his movies on those platforms remain unfamiliar to Tarantino.
