Michael Rooker thinks people should get off TikTok and learn how to watch three-hour movies.
But the people involved insist the project is about more than opening weekend profits.
Horizonis admittedly very long; the first installment of a planned four is three hours long in itself.

Its real cinema, folks.
We aint used to that s—, Rooker told TMZ.
Were used to 90-minute movies.
Everything is 90 minutes.
Give me a break.
Get over that s—.
Its not all fast and cut, cut cut.
When asked if modern viewers were too “TikTok-ified” into having shorter attention spans, Rooker heartily agreed.
Of course they are," he said.
“They got to get over that crap.
They got to learn how to watch real cinema, hey.
Want more movie news?
