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.
