Channing Tatum Says Streaming-Era Incentives Push Actors Toward Lower-Quality Projects

He voiced the critique on Hot Ones during promotion for Roofman.

Overview

  • In the interview, he said the current pipeline feels "very confused" and that actors are "incentivized" to make "bad things" to get paid rather than pursue riskier, exceptional films.
  • He argued streamers have "effed up" Hollywood and the moviemaking process, though he expects the disruption to eventually lead to something positive.
  • He added that he wants to "give [his] money to the good movies" and described the present moment as "upside-down."
  • He poked fun at his past work, calling 2010’s Dear John "generic" and noting his Deadpool & Wolverine appearance lasted "two seconds."
  • As he tees up Roofman’s Oct. 10 theatrical release, he also pointed to a busy slate including Kockroach, Dance Partners, an Amazon MGM Isle of Man racing project with Brad Pitt, Josephine, Alpha Gang and Calamity Hustle.
