Danny Boyle is right. Feature films are becoming the roller coaster ride, the fun entertainment, and are shying away from the types of stories that explore adult themes.
However, while he sees that as a tragedy, I don't. We're living in the Golden Age of television. Television or things like television (House of Cards) are now becoming the way to create interesting stories. I predict in 10-15 years time most serious filmmakers will WANT to work in television over feature films.
It makes sense. Back in the day you saw sophisticated stories in the theatre because you couldn't do it on television. But now, with cable and premium channels, you can do what you want. You have hours and hours to build a world and explore themes. How would you tell Walter White's journey in just 2 episodes? You can't. So it's no wonder the new Star Trek is just a fun ride.
This could be very cool.
