Entertainment’The film industry is over,’ says Jerry SeinfeldDuring the promotion of The Battle of the Pop-Tart Cookie, a film that marks Jerry Seinfeld’s debut as a director, the comedian spoke about the state of films today at 10:35

One of the main comedians of his generation, Jerry Seinfeld He also has an established career as an actor. About Hollywoodthe 69-year-old entertainer opined how “the movie industry is over.”

During an interview with GQ to talk about the film The Pop-Tart Cookie Battlewhich marks the debut of Seinfeld as director and premieres on May 3, 2024 on Netflixhe explained why he thinks this entertainment industry business model has come to an end.

At one point, he was asked about the reason for leading a film years after the beginning and rise of his career. “Why wouldn’t they put me in Mad Men. I love that kind of comedy,” he replied. “I love office comedies. I love stupid people in suits. And was [pandemia de] Covid-19. I do not have anything to do. So I was convinced of it. It wasn’t my idea.”

Seinfeld wasn’t my idea either. I keep getting dragged into things and surrounded by the most amazing people. These movie people are unbelievable. They are crazy.

“It was something totally new to me. I thought I had done some cool things, but it was nothing like the way these people work,” he continued. “They’re so serious! They have no idea the movie business is over. They have no idea.”

Right away, Jerry Seinfeld justified the statement: “Cinema does not occupy the pinnacle of the social and cultural hierarchy that it has occupied for most of our lives. When a film came out, if it was good, we would all go and see it. We all discussed it. We quoted lines and scenes that we liked. Now we’re walking through a fire hose full of water, just trying to see.”

Disorientation has replaced the movie business. Everyone I know in show business, every day, asks, ‘What’s going on? How you do it? What should we do now?’
