\n Channing Tatum<\/a> is getting candid about navigating the movie business.<\/p>\n \n During a recent appearance on \u201cHot Ones<\/a>,\u201d the \u201cRoofman<\/a>\u201d star said that in the current state of the industry, it feels like actors are \u201cincentivized\u201d to appear in subpar productions for money rather than take a big swing on something \u201creally, really good.\u201d<\/p>\n \n \u201cI think, now, when you get asked to do a movie, or you\u2019re trying to get a movie made, it\u2019s a very confused pipeline of possibilities,\u201d Tatum said. \u201cIt really feels like, at times, that you\u2019re incentivized to make bad things to get paid, rather than make something really, really good, for the fucking people that actually get to see these things and [for the type of] people that I want to see these movies, the person that I was when I was a kid. And I want good movies.\u201d<\/p>\n \n He added, \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Man, I want to give my money to the good movies.\u2019 It\u2019s such an upside-down moment, but I do believe that the disruption is going to lead to something good. I do believe that. I do believe the streamers came in for a reason, and it had to change. It had to morph.\u201d<\/p>\n \n Later in the episode, Tatum took a few jabs at his past work. When asked about his 2010 romance \u201cDear John,\u201d he called it \u201csuch a generic\u201d movie. When speaking about his role in 2024\u2019s \u201cDeadpool & Wolverine,\u201d he said he doesn\u2019t feel like \u201cpart of\u201d the film since he was only \u201cin it for two seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n \n This is not the first time Tatum spoke up about Hollywood\u2019s troubles. In his Variety<\/em> cover story<\/a>, the \u201cMagic Mike\u201d star said that streamers have caused serious confusion in the entertainment industry, both \u201cfor good and bad.\u201d<\/p>\n \n \u201cThe streamers came in and effed up the industry a bit \u2014 for good and for bad. The studios are confused; the streamers are confused,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re incentivizing me to go make a subpar movie \u2014 a B script, a programmer that isn\u2019t special.\u201d<\/p>\n \n See Tatum\u2019s entire \u201cHot Ones\u201d episode below. <\/p>\n
