There\u2019s a part of me that\u2019s an audience member: I\u2019ll go back and rewatch <em>Deadwood<\/em> or <em>NYPD Blue<\/em> or any of the David Milch shows. I understand why people like the comfort food of television,\u201d Apatow informed <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/news\/general-news\/judd-apatow-scary-netflix-license-hbo-series-1234967053\/\" target=\"_blank\">Vulture<\/a><\/em> in a current interview. \u201cBut it\u2019s a scary thing as a creator of television, because of all the streamers going, \u2018Wait a second. We don\u2019t need to spend $200 million on a new show. We can just bring back Barnaby Jones.\u2019 They\u2019re going to do it, then you\u2019ll get fewer new shows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHe continued, \u201cThey realize, Oh wait, <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/netflix\/\" id=\"auto-tag_netflix\" data-tag=\"netflix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netflix<\/a> can just buy shows from <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/hbo\/\" id=\"auto-tag_hbo\" data-tag=\"hbo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HBO<\/a>, and I would assume they\u2019re cheaper than making new ones. Then at some point, Netflix will sell its shows to HBO, and it\u2019ll just be passing around all the episodes of <em>Ballers<\/em> for the rest of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe author, director, and producer additionally gave perception into the business\u2019s future, noting that \u201cthere are these corporate behemoths and people from the tech world taking over creativity.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cAnd for some of them \u2014\u00a0not all of them\u00a0\u2014\u00a0their intentions are just eyeball time online,\u201d he added. \u201cI don\u2019t know if they\u2019re obsessed with quality filmmaking in the way other owners of these entities have been in the past. That\u2019s why they started calling it \u201ccontent.\u201d All of a sudden, they diminished it as a lot because it probably could possibly be. I don\u2019t suppose it will be that bizarre if you happen to learn one thing within the paper that Pornhub purchased Paramount+.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tApatow additionally mentioned studios should take massive dangers, like Donna Langley at Universal, who took a guess on <em>Oppenheimer<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cLike, who would think that anyone cared about Oppenheimer like that? Oppenheimer is going to make almost $1 billion,\u201d he mentioned. \u201cLike, is anyone talking about the inventor of the atom bomb in their lives? We don\u2019t, but the people have to take big risks, and then you realize, No, people want to be challenged. They want smart movies. They want original cinematic experiences. You do need a comedy equivalent of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Judd Apatow is commenting on the development of streamers licensing content material from rival studios.
