Film industry needs more original material: Andrew Garfield

Actor Andrew Garfield thinks the film industry needs "more original material" so filmmakers like Mel Gibson can continue their work.
The 33-year-old actor stars as Desmond Doss in Gibson's recently released true story "Hacksaw Ridge", and has said the key to getting the 60-year-old filmmaker to create more movies is to come up with new content that "hits deep into the human condition", reported Collider.
"I think Mel is so discerning in the stories that he wants to tell. He's obviously a devoted filmmaker, and if he's going to go to work on something for two to three years it's got to have the emotional capacity and possibility that a story like Desmond Doss' story has," Garfield said.

"So, I just think we need more original material that actually hits deep into the human condition and offers something to an audience that goes beyond popcorn munching and numbness. He wants to wake an audience up and make them feel themselves, and feel grateful for the lives they're living.
