In response to Dakota Johnson’s remarks about Madame Web, Russell Crowe acknowledges some of his errors and defends the hero film industry.
The 60- yr- older actor, who next appears in Sony‘s latest Spider- Man Universe film Kraven the Hunter, gave a candid interview to GQ where he seemed to handle history reports of negative behavior.
” I’m in awe of people these days who say,’ I have no worries,'” Crowe said. ” Actually? Not a second thing you have ever done. Best? You’re so stupid ideal. I’ve got a garbage bit of sorrow. An angry expression, an overstatement, a missed chance for , friendship , – lots of things like that. But all of those items are in view, because I’ve done plenty of really great crap too. My sorrow are, in a way, badges of honor. Having the ability to own that reflection and come,’ You know, the other day you were a stupid jerk, partner. Do your best to never again be such a stupid peter like that.
The Oscar-winning actor has a long record of complaints of hostile actions and angry bouts despite giving praised shows in films like Gladiator and quieting for allegations in recent years.
Crowe was also questioned about Johnson, who claimed that Madame Web‘s current field office disappointment sounded like it was “made by committee” and that actors may have large private musical expectations for making movies in the genre.
He reportedly laughed as he admitted that he did n’t want to comment on what other people might have said or what their experience might have been. Instead, he reportedly said,” You’re bringing out the impish quality of my humor.” You’re telling me that you signed up for a Marvel film, some crappy world full of cartoon characters, and that there was n’t enough pathos. Not sure how I can improve this. It’s a gigantic machine, and they make movies at a certain size. And you know, I’ve experienced that on the DC side with , Man of Steel, Zack Snyder, and I’ve experienced it on the Marvel side via Disney with , Thor: Love and Thunder… These are jobs. You know: Here’s your role, play the role. If you’re expecting this to be some kind of life- changing event, I just think you’re here for the wrong reasons”.
Continued Crowe:” It can be challenging, working in a blue- screen world, when you have to convince yourself of a lot more than just the internal machinations of your character. But for anything, you can have a bad experience on a film, and you ca n’t make this a direct comment on her because I do n’t know her and I do n’t know what she went through. But is that the Marvel process? I’m not sure you can say that. I have n’t had a bad experience. I mean]on , Thor], OK, it’s a Marvel movie, but it ‘s , Taika Waititi’s world, and it was just a gas every day, being silly. And then, with JC Chandor on , Kraven, I’m just bringing a little weight to the circumstances, so the young actors have got an actor they can bounce off … You know, so many of these directors have a certain skill level – freaking genius people. Think about what’s required, right? … Whether it ‘s]Proof , director ] Jocelyn Moorhouse or it’s Ridley Scott, you’re talking about hanging out with geniuses”.
Crowe responded,” Only one,” when asked if he regretted making a movie out of respect for the image. I kind of thought there was a part of it that was, you know, cheating. It would put me in a position that I would n’t have earned from a career standpoint.” ).
Previously, Johnson told , Bustle about making Madame Web:” It was definitely an experience for me to make that movie. I’ve never before engaged in this kind of action. Because I do n’t understand what it means in that world, I’m unlikely to ever do it again. And I am aware of that now. But sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it’s one thing and then as you’re making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you’re like,’ Wait, what?’ But it was a real learning experience, and of course it’s not nice to be a part of something that’s ripped to shreds, but I ca n’t say that I do n’t understand”.
She continued:” It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee. A filmmaker and a group of artists working on their projects create movies. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. I’ve been saying for a while that executives have started to think that audiences are extremely intelligent, but that’s changed. Bullshit will always be able to be snagged by audiences.  , Even if films start to be made with AI, humans are n’t going to fucking want to see those”.
