Pictures<\/p>\n<p>Actor\/producer Leonardo DiCaprio says he\u2019s concerned about the future of moviegoing, with much of that coming from the public\u2019s attitude toward cinemas.<\/p>\n<p>The Oscar winner reportedly recently slammed AI in film, saying the technology is incapable of humanity and thus isn\u2019t authentic art.<\/p>\n<p>This week, speaking with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/culture\/film\/article\/leonardo-dicaprio-paul-thomas-anderson-interview-one-battle-after-another-zs7dpf3w7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Times of London<\/a>, the actor says he\u2019s not sure if cinemas on a major scale will soon exist and wonders if they\u2019ll become a niche thing sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n<p>He explains that the pace of change has already had a big impact on attitudes:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s changing at a lightning speed.  We\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. Do people still have the appetite? Or will cinemas become silos \u2013 like jazz bars?<\/p>\n<p>I just hope enough people who are real visionaries get opportunities to do unique things in the future that are seen in the cinema. But that remains to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The comments come after his most recent film, Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s \u201cOne Battle After Another,\u201d grossed more than $205 million worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/third-avatar-targets-1-5-1-8-billion-total\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Third \u201cAvatar\u201d Targets $1.5-1.8 Billion Total<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/flanagan-teases-dark-tower-series-plans\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Flanagan Teases \u201cDark Tower\u201d Series Plans<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warner Bros.
