Andy Serkis believes that people mostly come to cinema halls to watch “tent-pole blockbusters”
Actor-director Andy Serkis believes cinema is losing its charm with the increasing popularity of streaming services. With the influx of technology and its failure of incorporation in cinema, the future of movies lies at stake.
No discussion about motion capture in movies can be complete without mentioning Andy Serkis. The 54-year-old actor, who has pioneered motion capture in Hollywood, with characters like King Kong, Caesar in Planet of the Apes, Gollum in The Lord of the Rings and Supreme Leader Snoke in Star Wars, believes people mostly come to cinema halls to watch “tent-pole blockbusters”.
In an interview with Independent about how technology will change the future of cinema, Andy said, “We’re entering into a different realm now because entertainment will no longer just be cinemas as we know it. Cinema is slipping away, sadly, apart from tent-pole blockbusters. The streamers are taking over.”
