“As long as the care of film and cinema is a priority at the forefront, that’s what I feel is most important right now as an actor, as a director,” he hells THR. “Movies need to be seen on a big screen. That communal experience is what makes Sinners so great, [what makes] One Battle After Another so great, [what makes] Marty Supreme so great. What makes all these movies so great is that you get a chance to go to theater with people and watch it and have a moment to laugh together, to cry together, to cheer together. That’s why I love going to movies, is for those storytelling experiences. That’s the priority. All the other business stuff is a little bit beyond me.”
He also teased his upcoming The Thomas Crown Affair reimagining.
“It’s a big movie. It’s international. It’s sexy. It’s a lot of fun. A lot of twists and turns,” Michael said. “It’s going to have some things that I think audiences won’t be expecting that might be a nice treat for them.”
MBJ serves as writer, director and star of The Thomas Crown Affair, which has already filmed and will be released through Amazon MGM Studios. See what he previously said about the movie!
