In "The Tomorrow War," Chris Pratt plays a
young father who is drafted for the mission in a blockbuster
originally meant for release in theaters by Paramount Pictures.
Instead, it was sold to Amazon for a rumored $200 million.
But Pratt wants audiences to experience it in the best way
possible at home - which means turning off their mobile phones.
"Give yourself that gift, honestly," Pratt said via Zoom. "When
you're paying the money to go to the theater... you're buying a
two-hour escape from your phone and I think you can give
yourself that at home if you're a little bit disciplined."
Pratt, who played Star-Lord in various "Avengers" movies, here
plays a character called Dan Forester who fights vicious
man-eating aliens.
He also has a new role, as executive producer.
"It's definitely a learning process and to learn on a film of
this proportion is daunting, but I found that I was surrounded
by good people and that it was precisely the scale and the scope
of this film that sold me on it," he said.
"The Tomorrow War" begins streaming on Amazon on July 2.
