Tom Hanks says moviegoers are no longer interested in VFX spectacles and are returning to good storytelling.
Tom Hanks says moviegoers are no longer interested in VFX spectacles and are returning to good storytelling.
One of the prime rules of storytelling is that the hero has to have a flaw.
Superman is super. He can’t lose. That’s why the writers introduced Kryptonite. Captain America is a super-soldier, but is still mortal. Thor is a god, but can lose his hammer and his powers.
The problem with Superhero movies is that they all got so much power they became invincible, and boring.
Good, classic storytelling beats VFX 10/10.
