Channing Tatum Says Streaming-Era Incentives Push Actors Toward 'Bad' Projects

He framed Hollywood as a confused, upside-down pipeline upended by streamers during a Hot Ones interview promoting Roofman.

Overview

  • On Hot Ones with host Sean Evans, Tatum said today’s greenlight process feels like a “confused pipeline” that can reward taking lower-quality roles for a paycheck.
  • He added that he wants to support “good movies” and said the current disruption could eventually lead to a better system.
  • Tatum reiterated earlier remarks from a Variety cover story in which he said streamers have left studios and platforms uncertain about what to make.
  • He poked fun at his own credits, calling Dear John “generic” and noting his Deadpool & Wolverine cameo lasted “two seconds.”
  • The appearance doubled as promotion for Roofman and highlighted an active slate that includes Kockroach, Dance Partners, and Calamity Hustle.
