‘I Don’t Mean To Sound So Hopeless’: Winona Ryder Claims To Be Upset Over Younger Actors Lacking Interest In Movies

As an ardent fan who has witnessed the evolution of cinema through the years, I must say that Winona Ryder‘s insights are nothing short of profound. Having traversed the film industry from being the youngest to becoming the oldest, her experiences offer a unique perspective that we, as fans, should cherish and learn from.


Actress Winona Ryder is preparing for the highly-anticipated debut of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, scheduled to premiere in cinemas on September 6th. At the film’s red carpet event, Ryder discussed her collaboration with young actors and the aspect that sometimes drives her up the wall during production.

In an interview with Esquire, Ryder shared that she’s transitioned from being the most junior cast member to the eldest. Her background stems from film criticism, however, modern audiences, particularly the youth, tend to prefer spending less time watching movies.

Previously, the Los Angeles Times noted in their profile that Ryder enjoys engaging with the rising generation of movie enthusiasts who spark memories of herself, as they passionately share about how Finn Wolfhard is enamored with Elliott Gould. The text also stated that she sometimes feels dismayed when she encounters a lack of curiosity among her less experienced peers.

In their conversation with a magazine, the actress personally verified this point, stating that her co-stars expressed no curiosity or intention to watch the movie nor learn more about it.

In a subsequent remark, the actress from “Heathers” added, “I’m not trying to be pessimistic, but there are some who seem uninterested in films. For instance, their immediate response is often, ‘How long is it?'”

In conversation with a media outlet, the actress expressed concerns about how social media has led audiences to diminish their interest in films. Additionally, she acknowledged that as she grows older, her advice might not resonate with the younger generations.

Reflecting on yesteryears, the captivating star of Edward Scissorhands mused, “The wealth of cinematic history, coupled with photography’s rich tapestry, is simply staggering. I don’t advocate for a return to the past, but I yearn and aspire that future generations will delve into this treasure trove.”

In the upcoming movie, originally called Beetlejuice, Sarah Jessica Parker will take on the character of Lydia Deetz’s mother, with Jenna Ortega playing Astrid. Tim Burton is back as director, and this new film is a sequel to the 1988 release titled Beetlejuice.
