Cult among fans of science fiction actress Linda Hamilton is ready to retire after the completion of filming in the final season of the series “Very Strange Things”, in which she plays a mysterious character. About this, as well as her fame, “Terminator” and other famous film projects, the actress told in one of the last interviews, fragments of which are cited by the publication “Film News”. Linda Hamilton also talked about the dangers of artificial intelligence.
Do you watch your past works?
No, I don’t.
When was the last time you watched the filmTerminator 2: Judgment Day?
Years ago
Really?
Years. Yeah. I like to read. I don’t watch a lot of television. Sure, I might watch something once, but I’m not going to watch something over and over again. In the glory days? No, there was nothing like that.
Did you get over it?
I got over it.
You’ve had so many incredible projects in your career, even if you just watch them on television, from Beauty and the Beast in the ’80s to TheTransplant from Outer Space now and the Very Strange Things series coming up. Now it probably feels like the landscape has changed dramatically.
It has, and I’ve really enjoyed riding this long career wave. I’ve seen a lot and I can certainly point to changes in all areas of film and television, but I think mostly in television. I’m not sure the studio system will really last much longer. Things are changing faster now than at any time in the history of Hollywood in terms of product and streaming and the huge number of new jobs that are being created because of what we’re shooting. People who do contact lenses, and people who do manicures, intimate scene coordinators, and sensitivity training, and then there’s actually film production, special effects … like, really magic happens on the set of Very Strange Things. I periodically exclaim, “What the hell is this? Where am I?” At the end of almost every scene, they create some kind of magical special effects in real time. So yeah, the situation changes a lot.
