Now known for his distance from “streaming” film production services, and in particular HBO Max, Christopher Nolan continues to decline Netflix's proposal to work hand in hand. It must be said that the director remains appreciably attached to the convivial aspect of the cinema.
When two parties fail to come to an agreement, it happens that one of them returns to the charge, possibly for its own interest. This is a priori the situation in which the director Christopher Nolan and the platform for the distribution of filmed works Netflix now find themselves.
Nolan “strongly wants” his films to be accessible in theaters
Unsurprisingly, Mr. Stuber indicated that Christopher Nolan was still bothered by Netflix's delivery model.
“I think there are aspects of global cinema distribution that are still attractive. […] Christopher Nolan and I have talked a lot and it's always something he strongly wants. If we can't guarantee that to him, it will always be a problem for him. ”
Last December, the director had not been kind to another service, that of HBO Max after the announcement of Warner Bros. to broadcast its new productions both in theaters and on its SVoD service.
“Some of our most illustrious directors and most important movie stars in the industry went to bed the night before thinking they were working with the biggest movie studio and woke up to find that they were actually working for the worst service in the world. streaming. ”
Christopher Nolan added that Warner Bros. had, in his eyes, “no sense” economically:
“Warner Bros. is an incredible machine for taking a filmmaker's work to the world, both in theaters and at home, and they're destroying it right now. They don't even understand what they are losing. Their decision makes no sense economically, and even the most amateur of Wall Street investors can tell the difference between disruption and dysfunction. ”
