Streaming has elevated the bar for cinema, says Sandra Bullock

TIL Desk Hollywood/ Sandra Bullock believes showbiz is changing for the better following the arrival of streaming services and it has encouraged films to up their game.

The 54-year-old actor, who stars in Netflix’s acclaimed thriller “Bird Box”, said the digital platform has provided more working opportunities to women and people of colour.

“Cinema is not going anywhere, streaming has elevated the bar. Before, if you were a superhero, you were able to get a movie made; anything else was not getting made.

“Now, with streaming, we have all kinds of work available. The movie business is changing, and providing so many more opportunities for women and for people of colour,” Bullock told.
