Zachary Levi Recently Called Out Hollywood for Making ‘Garbage’
Shazam!Star Zacahry Levi has been hitting headlines a lot lately, and not often for very good reasons. Following the actor’s commentsregarding the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, and then a clarification, Levi has also slammed Hollywood for making too much ‘garbage.’
“I personally feel like the amount of content that comes out of Hollywood that is garbage – they don’t care enough to actually make it great for you guys. They don’t,”Levi said earlier this month. “How many times do you watch a trailer and go, ‘Oh my god, this looks so cool!’ Then you go to the movie and it’s like, ‘This was what I get?’ They know that once you’ve already bought the ticket and you’re in the seat, they’ve got your money. And the only way for us to change any of it is to not go to the garbage. We have to actively not choose the garbage. It’ll help. It’ll help a lot.”
We will let you decide whether a live action remake of the beloved animated outingTangledconstitutes as ‘garbage’ or not.
Zachary Levi has several projects on the horizon, includingSpy Kids: Armageddon, Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, Harold and the Purple Crayon, andThe Unbreakable Boy.
