“Mainstream movies, the few movies that are opening in theaters and doing well, like Avatar and Top Gun, not even what is all that. It’s all stupid to me. I think film festivals are kind of silly in a way, except that they bring filmmakers and people together and get the audience to see your movie and you can release it and sell it there. But generally, most movies are sold to streaming services anyway, so it’s not really cinema.”explained the actor.

I mean, God bless them, they’re making a lot of money, but their movies suck. And no one will remember them. no one will remember Black Adam at the end of the day. I didn’t even see that movie, it looked so bad.”
To end, stephen dorff also took some time to talk about the next movie of Blade of mcu which will have as protagonist Mahershala Ali. Let’s remember that this installment had several setbacks, lost its director and writers and even came to pause production until they found someone to replace them.
