Michael Douglas comments on the evolving digital landscape and surge in streaming
Michael Douglas has been a live spectator to the accelerating shift in focus from "celluloid to digital", as the actor puts it. Having been in the business of cinema for 55 years, Douglas affirms there is much to appreciate when it comes to the easy accessibility the digital boom in cinema has brought with it. This refers to how the boom caters to the younger generations - who, as producer Shailendra Singh seconds, were born with their iPads and laptops. While Douglas agrees that times are different and the myriad options with streaming may be better suited to the tastes of the youth, what he truly fears for is the authentic theatre going experience being reduced to a mere novelty hobby.
