Helen Mirren
Legendary actress Helen Mirren has lambasted streaming website Netflix at a CinemaCon, for killing the "cinema" experience. "I love Netflix, but f*** Netflix!" Mirren cheered onstage at CinemaCon, the annual convention of movie exhibitors, on Tuesday. She was met with thunderous applause while talking about her new film "The Good Liar" at the Warner Bros. presentation, reports variety.com.
Mirren continued saying: "There is nothing like sitting in the cinema." Her comments come at a time of high tension between theatrical release institutions and streaming companies, who do not wish to put their movies exclusively in theatres before making them available to their subscribers.
