During a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/culture\/film\/article\/leonardo-dicaprio-paul-thomas-anderson-interview-one-battle-after-another-zs7dpf3w7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Times of London<\/a>, the \u201cTitanic\u201d star questioned if \u201cpeople still have the appetite\u201d for movie theaters. He also pondered if cinemas would \u201cbecome silos \u2013 like jazz bars?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s changing at a lightning speed,\u201d DiCaprio said of the film industry. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at a huge transition. First, documentaries disappeared from cinemas. Now, dramas only get finite time and people wait to see it on streamers. I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWhatever happens, DiCaprio said he hopes that filmmakers of the future get their work shown on the big screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI just hope enough people who are real visionaries get opportunities to do unique things in the future that are seen in the cinema,\u201d he added. \u201cBut that remains to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Oscar winner is a staunch defender of cinematic integrity. During a recent sitdown with Time, DiCaprio slammed AI in film, saying the technology is incapable of humanity and thus can\u2019t be \u201cauthentically\u201d considered art.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cIt could be an enhancement tool for a young filmmaker to do something we\u2019ve never seen before,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/news\/leonardo-dicaprio-ai-lacks-humanity-cant-replace-art-1236603310\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">DiCaprio said<\/a> of AI. \u201cI think anything that is going to be authentically thought of as art has to come from the human being. Otherwise \u2014 haven\u2019t you heard these songs that are mashups that are just absolutely brilliant and you go, \u2018Oh my God, this is Michael Jackson doing the Weeknd,\u2019 or \u2018This is funk from the A Tribe Called Quest song \u201cBonita Applebum,\u201d done in, you know, a sort of Al Green soul-song voice, and it\u2019s brilliant.\u2019 And you go, \u2018Cool.\u2019 But then it gets its 15 minutes of fame and it just dissipates into the ether of other internet junk. There\u2019s no anchoring to it. There\u2019s no humanity to it, as brilliant as it is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leonardo DiCaprio is worried about the future of moviegoing.
