During the conversation with host Sean Evans, Tatum, promoting his upcoming movie Roofman, characterized today's filmmaking landscape as a 'confused pipeline.'
Tatum elaborated on the confusion, stating that the current system encourages filmmakers to prioritize profit over quality, creating subpar films instead of high-caliber features that genuinely engage audiences. 'It feels like you're incentivized to make bad things just to get paid,' he lamented, emphasizing his desire for 'good movies' to be made for the people who genuinely appreciate cinema.
Despite his critique, Tatum remains optimistic that the disruption caused by streaming platforms will eventually lead to beneficial changes in the industry. He added humor to the discussion, joking about his own filmography, including poking fun at his minor role in Deadpool & Wolverine and referring to Dear John as 'generic.'
