The internet and mobile technology is eroding the experience of going to the theatre, according to director Ridley Scott.
Only by watching movies at the theater can one appreciate their qualities, Scott said at the Venice Film Festival. The director of movies such as Alien, Thelma & Louise and Gladiator was at the festival unveiling a re-worked version of his 1982 cult hit Blade Runner.
He commented: "People sit there watching a movie on a tiny screen. You can't beat it, you've got to join it and deal with it and also get competitive with it. "We try to do films which are in support of cinema, in a large room with good sound and a big picture." Directors are "fighting technology", which is "wonderful in many aspects" but has "some big negative downsides", he added. Scott's latest movie American Gangster is due for release on November 2nd of this year.
