Christopher Nolan has recently spoken up about the “danger” of releasing films for streaming platforms only. <\/p>\n
When speaking with The Washington Post<\/em>, Nolan stressed the importance of physical media. The famed director expanded on the recent comments he made during an introduction of a screening for Oppenheimer<\/em>. He had urged fans to buy the Blu-Ray version of the film “so no evil streaming service can come steal it from you.”<\/p>\n Nolan clarified that he was joking when he used “evil” to describe the streaming platforms. He elaborated that he is concerned over the fact that films are focusing more on streamers, “There is a danger these days that if things only exist in the streaming version, they do get taken down. They come and go \u2014 as do broadcast versions of films, so my films will play on HBO or whatever, they’ll come and go.” He adds, “But the home video version is the thing that can always be there, so people can always access it. And since the 1980s, as filmmakers, we’ve taken that for granted, and now we have to make sure that there’s a way that that can continue to happen, if not the physical media.” <\/p>\n
