Actor Matt Damon claimed that Netflix requests that its films reiterate the plot “three or four times” in scenes to accommodate viewers on their phones.
Damon and his longtime friend and fellow actor Ben Affleck joined the “Joe Rogan Experience” on Friday to promote their new film “The Rip”, which premiered on Netflix that same day.
While discussing the film, Damon remarked on how viewers have a “very different level of attention” to Netflix movies they can watch at home compared to other films released in theaters. He added that Netflix has begun changing the filmmaking process to appease these distracted viewers.
“The standard way to make an action movie that we learned was, you usually have three set pieces”, Damon said. “One in the first act, one in the second, one in the third. You spend most of your money on that one in the third act.
