Many people have been bemoaning that the end is near of the cinematic experience for quite some time now and with several of this summer's big-budget Hollywood sequels and remakes failing to get audiences to leave their homes, these rumblings have grown even louder. This begs the question on whether this is just a fluke or is this truly a sign that people eventually will no longer be willing to go out to see a film? The New York Times has assembled some key figures working in the film industry today to offer their opinions on what they think is in store for the future of the movies.
We have writer/director, Lena Waithe; Franklin Leonard of The Black List for the best unproduced screenplays; producers, Jordan Horowitz, Jason Blum and Amy Pascal; Jeffrey Katzenberg of Dreamworks animation; Sony Pictures chief, Tom Rothman; Michael Barker & Tom Bernard, co-presidents of Sony Pictures Classics; Nancy Utley & Steve Gilula, co-chairs of Fox Searchlight; Netflix film chief, Scott Stuber; Amazon Studios chief, Jennifer Salke; directors, John M. Chu, Ava DuVernay, Barry Jenkins, J.J. Abrams, Joe and Anthony Russo and Paul Feig; and actors, Elizabeth Banks, Kumail Nanjiani, Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer. They are asked a variety of questions including if anything can succeed beyond the Hollywood blockbuster, will more women and people of color help the industry move forward and will the next generation still care about the movies?
