In the US, the film "Orphan Brooklyn" comes into rent. Edward Norton became the director of the painting and the performer of one of the roles. Commenting on the deplorable state of American cinemas before going out his film, Norton stood up on Netflix's defense, expressing disagreement with Stephen Spielberg. Previously, Spielberg spoke with a resonant statement that Netflix rushes a threat to cinema and traditional movie perception experience. Moreover, according to Spielberg, Netflix films should be nominated not to Oscar, but on the less prestigious AMMI award, which is created specifically for television projects.
This Norton replied that, to maintain the theater experience, Netflix makes much more than network cinemas with their outdated infrastructure. As an example, the actor led the Alfhaus film Alfonso Quaront "Roma", who after his exit in 2018 won a whole bouquet of large awards, including three Oscars.
I dwell to [Stephen] Spielberg great respect, but still I can not agree with him. Netflix has invested in the rental of the film "Roma" five times more than anything. They did everything to appear in cinemas around the world. This is hundreds of cinemas, and not some handful there; On the same scale, the film could be released with the assistance of Sony Pictures Classics. Netflix has invested in the theatrical release of this picture more than anyone else. I do not think that there are many people who are decided to invest in black and white Hispanic films, not counting on a special return. Netflix implements many initiatives, this company turned out to be in the forefront of those unprecedented opportunities that modernity gives us - we have a chance to get acquainted with a biggest number of different stories, hear more different voices, penetrate something new. This is something amazing
- explained the actor his position.
In Russia, the Drama "Orphan Brooklyn" will be released on December 5th of this year.
