Channing Tatum says streaming has made Hollywood a 'confusing' place

Channing Tatum says streaming has turned the movie business "upside down".

The 45-year-old actor - whose film credits include 21 Jump Street, Logan Lucky and the Magic Mike franchise - says the shift in consumer habits towards watching new releases at home has left Hollywood in a state of flux.

While he admits streaming has caused disruption, including making actors take on "bad" films for the money, Tatum sees a silver lining.

Appearing on a new episode of Hot Ones, he said: “I think, now, when you get asked to do a movie, or you’re trying to get a movie made, it’s a very confused pipeline of possibilities, and it really feels like, at times, that you’re incentivised to make bad things to get paid, rather than make something really, really good, for the f****** people that actually get to see these things and people that I want to see these movies, the person that I was when I was a kid.

“And I want good movies.”

He continued: “I’m like, ‘Man, I want to give my money to the good movies.’ It’s 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.”

Meanwhile, Channing recently admitted that rejecting Beauty and the Beast was "one of the biggest mistakes of [his] career".

The 45-year-old actor was to play 60-year-old filmmaker Guillermo del Toro's version "of the Beast", but he rejected the idea because he had just welcomed his daughter Everly, now 12, who was born in 2013, with his ex-wife, 44-year-old actress Jenna Dewan, and he was busy working on another movie.

He told Vanity Fair in September: "One of the biggest mistakes of my career - Guillermo del Toro wanted to do Beauty and the Beast, his version of the Beast.

"And I’d just had a baby, I was on a movie that was absolutely killing me, and the script wasn't totally there yet. I was just in a place in my head that I was like, 'I don't think I can do this right now.'

"It was the biggest mistake, because I'm the biggest Guillermo fan ever.

"And I think Guillermo doing Beauty and the Beast would've been the sickest movie ever."

The Hollywood star - who did not reveal which film was "absolutely killing me" - said del Toro never made his version of Beauty and the Beast.

Channing's Roofman co-star Kirsten Dunst, 43, asked him in the interview: "And he never did it?"

The actor replied: "He didn't do it.

"He's got a billion other things that he wants to do. He's such a creator. I'll probably never forgive myself on that one, but I hope we get to work together one day.

"Like Derek and I did. I think Blue Valentine time was always supposed to be Ryan [Gosling]'s.

"At that point in my life, it was such a sad story, and I had not had a sad relationship like that. I just don't think I could have done it."
