Actress Brie Larson believes that the film and television industry should start drawing inspiration from the world of video games. The star shared her thoughts on the Fandango podcast "Seen on the Screen."
Larson, known for her role as Captain Marvel, emphasized that the gaming community today surpasses the audience of films and series in scale. In her opinion, it is still customary in society to discuss books or movies, but not favorite games, although statistics say otherwise.
The gaming community is much larger than the world of cinema and television... People ask: "What movie did you watch?" or "What book are you reading?", but not so often they ask: "What video game are you playing now?". I believe we would be surprised to learn that more people actually play games.
She also noted that the gaming industry has been borrowing techniques from cinema for years, but it's time for a symmetrical response.
Video games take a lot from cinema, and I think it's time for us in cinema to recognize that we can take from video games.
According to the actress, the gaming industry has become a dominant part of culture, and it's time for Hollywood to recognize this fact in order to keep up with modern trends.
