Francis Ford Coppola says Hollywood blockbusters feel similar these days

Director Francis Ford Coppola expressed his disapproval of the contemporary Hollywood film industry in an interview with GQ.

He called studio big-budgets stuck in a “repeat and repeat” “Marvel style” that even good films like “Dune” and “No Time to Die” feel similar.

“There used to be big studio movies, now there are Marvel movies, so what’s a Marvel movie? It’s just having a prototype and then being remade over and over again just to make them look different. Even the great ones. The filmmakers — like “Dune,” directed by the talented Denis Villeneuve, and then “No Time to Die,” directed by… Gary? (Interviewer reminds Cary Fukunaga) Cary Fukunaga — is also very talented, Great artist, but for the two movies, we can find similar scenes in both of them, put together. Like a lot of car crash scenes, there are in these movies, and the situation is almost ‘If you want to justify your production costs, you have to have this kind of drama.’ These are still good movies, and good filmmakers.”

Coppola has previously said that in Hollywood, big movie series represented by Marvel movies are popular, but the content is repeated and the audience cannot gain anything.
