"It was a kind of simpler time, and maybe that is more romantic, he said. And there were some greats, like Nancy Myers and Nora Ephron, who did some brilliant stuff in the 90s: When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, they're just brilliant films."
"Things kind of go around and come around, fashions change and when they're done well, a good romcom can be brilliant, he said, adding: I hope that they will come back around."
Thomas Brodie-Sangster filmed Love Actually at age 13 in 2003 and gained breakout fame as Sam. Love Actually was a Christmas-set ensemble romantic comedy featuring major stars yet highlighted Brodie-Sangster's tender preteen storyline. Brodie-Sangster regards early-2000s romcoms as products of a simpler, pre-smartphone era and considers them more romantic. He expresses regret that the rise of streaming platforms has led to cheaper productions and rushed scripts, diminishing the genre's magic. Brodie-Sangster has since become better known for action and franchise roles, including the Maze Runner saga, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the audio movie Unsinkable. He suggests studios now prioritize action and superhero films because romcoms often perform worse at the box office, citing Materialists as a recent example.
