Denis Villeneuve: „Handys sind an meinen Sets verboten.“ Es ist verboten. Wenn Sie „Schnitt“ sagen, möchten Sie nicht, dass jemand Facebook überprüft

>The “Dune” filmmaker said “there’s something addictive about the fact that you can access any information, any song, any book” from your phone. “It’s compulsive. It’s like a drug. I’m very tempted to disconnect myself. It would be fresh air.”

>But the one place cell phone addiction can not exist is on a film set. Villeneuve said that mobile devices are banned on his productions. Christopher Nolan similarly bans cell phones.

>“Cinema is an act of presence,” Villeneuve said. “When a painter paints, he has to be absolutely focused on the color he’s putting on the canvas. It’s the same with the dancer when he does a gesture. With a filmmaker, you have to do that with a crew, and everybody has to focus and be entirely in the present, listening to each other, being in relationship with each other. So cellphones are banned on my set too, since Day 1. It’s forbidden. When you say cut, you don’t want someone going to his phone to look at his Facebook account.”

Cell phones are an attention drain. They suck everyone’s concentration away.
