In bonus footage from \u201cA celebrity.land & Variety Town Hall Event: Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> and Matthew McConaughey<\/a>,\u201d the two actors discussed how studios have begun catering to people who are using their phones while watching movies or TV shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this day of shorter attention spans and vertical 12-second spots, are we losing the patience for Act 1<\/a>?\u201d McConaughey said. \u201cBecause it\u2019s the first thing that gets cut. It\u2019s the first thing a studio wants to get rid of. I\u2019m seeing Act 2, more and more, start on freakin\u2019 page 12 [of a script]. I\u2019m seeing 10-part series where \u2014 bam! \u2014 Act 1\u2019s over 32 minutes into the opening episode, and you\u2019re off on the conflict right away. It feels abbreviated to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chalamet responded, \u201cI saw an article about a Netflix<\/a> production guideline \u2014 not for all movies, I don\u2019t want to speak disparagingly, but \u2014 where they want their biggest action set pieces up front.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
