If there ever was a window or opportunity for premium VOD, it seems like now’s the timeĪny way to heighten the viewer experience should be considered, absolutely. When you go to the bathroom, wash your hands. (The studio) must feel some sort of security knowing, or else they wouldn’t be going forward with it. I’m not 100% sure going forward what releases will look like. If there were I think I would’ve heard about it. Were there any discussions about delaying ‘Bloodshot’? You take those small things for granted like shaking a hand – you have no idea where that hand has been and then you touch your face, you fix your glasses, you brush your mouth, you put your hands on your phone, all those things can be tricky. Other than that, it definitely opened my eyes just about being cleaner – washing your hands, minding how you interact with people.
We’re promoting a film and we’ve got a pretty dope movie coming out, and I feel like I’m dope in it! So I’m like – oh man, I really want people to see a year and a half or almost two years of work come together. Once that happened I realized, oh, this is realer than I thought. I’ve got tickets to these games and that’s just my stress reliever, watching basketball. And it may seem weird but that’s how it’s affected me. I’ll just put a game on – any one of the teams playing with my NBA League Pass.
So it sucks because basketball is my escape. The Bulls, but I’m a Lakers guy because of LeBron.
So you’re watching the statistics and you’re like, what are the chances it could affect me? And then you hear about Tom Hanks and Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz – I’m a huge basketball fan… You see these things from afar and – to be honest – your mind isn’t aware until something happens to you or someone close to you.
