[With Hollywood turning more stream-heavy in 2016, veteran actor Darren Dewitt Henson speaks to SOHH about the growing trend for entertainers to join ventures with platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime.]
I think entertainment in 2016 is very much similar to the Internet. People want content.
It’s like scrolling. If you’re interested in one show and that’s finished in one hour, you can go to another network and watch that show.
I think it’s a great way to watch some of your favorite movies but also, at the same time, do I feel there’s a lack of other films and diversity in feature films shown at movie theaters? Absolutely. Yes.
Do I think it’s great that we have television, Redbox and Netflix doing movies? There’s all these different mediums you can go to watch TV. It’s entertaining and affords people the opportunity to see different types of programming. People are working, so everyone is busy.
The market is growing in many different ways.
