David Lynch thinks movies will eventually only be available to download from the internet.
The ‘Mulholland Drive’ director is a champion of new technology and
believes the tradition of seeing new films in the cinema will soon
become outdated.
When asked if he would ever release a film only via his website, David
said: “That’s where everything is heading very soon. It will just be
downloads.”
Although Lynch doesn’t have a problem with downloading movies, he still
believes it is magical to see a film on the big screen and it is
something that can’t be recreated on smaller screens.
He explained: “It doesn’t matter how people get hold of a film; as long
as they can see it in the right way it will still be beautiful. If
people can see a film on a big screen with the lights low and good
sound, then they still have the chance to enter another world.
“Some films do better on a small screen than others but if you saw
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ on a phone it would just be the most pathetic
joke.”
