Benedict Cumberbatch are details of how “wasting” Hollywood can be. The actor, who Played Doctor Strange in Marvel Cinematic UniverseQuoted how his own “body transformation” increased the lack of environmentally conscious efforts on sets.
“When I go back to responsibility and resource ability and sustainability is it just like” what do I do? I could feed a family with the amount I eat, “” said Cumberbatch under “Ruthie’s Table 4” podcast in the video below. He would eat five meals a day to play the superhero and added: “It’s awful to eat in addition to your appetite.”
Hollywood as a whole is a “grossly wasteful industry,” he said. “Think of sets that are not recycled, think about transport, think about food, think about housing, but also light and energy. The amount of wattage you need to create daylight and consistent light in a studio environment. It is a lot of energy.”
And it does not even extend to the waste from the crews. “You don’t have to give the crew plastic bottles,” Cumberbatch said. “If you are in the middle of a desert and you can’t get glass bottles there, fair enough. But we’re in the 2000s.”
Stellan Skarsgård recently expressed his view of providing appropriate meals and dishes to the crew members to limit waste. Said the actor under Karlovy varies Film Festival, via Amountthat he chose to take half a million kroner Salary cut (About $ 50,000) for Joachim Trier’s “sentimental value” to ensure that the crew received good lunches from craft services. “It has always said in my contract that everyone should have lunches with the highest European standard,” he said. “And it’s expensive. Norway, they are the richest country, but they do not want to spend money on food. (…) The food must also be served in real China – no plastic, paper bags or whatever. And you are not in a row, you sit down and eat. It makes everyone happier and make the movie much better. I have not made a bad movie in Norway since.”
