NewzActor and filmmaker Ben Affleck recently spoke out regarding the box office performance of the film *Digger*, warning that its commercial failure could have negative consequences for the film industry. He cautioned that when audiences and critics heavily penalize ambitious, unconventional projects, it discourages studios from taking creative risks.
According to Affleck, this dynamic ultimately leads to the production of safer, highly uniform films. By criticizing what he described as a 'big swing' movie, the industry risks steering production companies away from originality in favor of homogenized content.
