US EditionMatt Damon: Netflix Wants Movies to Restate Plot 'Three or Four Times' for Viewers on Their Phones
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck say Netflix prioritizes early action scenes and plot repetition to keep viewers engaged due to distractions like phone use at home.
- On Friday, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck told the Joe Rogan Experience that Netflix asks for a big action set piece within the first five minutes to keep viewers tuned in.
- Because home viewers split attention, at-home viewing yields much lower attention than theaters with lights on and distractions, and streamers have discussed reiterating the plot three or four times for phone-distracted audiences.
- Damon explained that the standard way to make an action movie involves three set pieces, with the most money spent on the third act, which is considered the finale.
- Affleck and Damon secured performance-based bonuses for The Rip's crew, a departure from Netflix's usual up-front pay model, with the film's plot centered on $20 million stash-house cash.
- Damon cautioned that Netflix's shift could 'really start to infringe on how we're telling these stories,' while Affleck noted Adolescence, Netflix limited series, as proof that streamers don't need such tactics.
