Yes, it’s actually happening. Tom Hanks and Emma Watson are appearing in a film together called The Circle. Based on the best-selling book by Dave Eggers, The Circle is about an internet company that stores massive amounts of data about its account holders. Since the film is about the dilemmas of the modern world, Hanks and Watson recently discussed how to stay safe from the dangers of social media.
“I think that it’s so important to keep an eye on what your daily diet is,” Watson shared with CNN at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the film. “In the same way we think about what we eat, we should think about what we read, what we’re seeing, what we’re engaging and what we’re interacting with everyday.”
“Social media takes so much of our attention, which is such a valuable resource and I’m just not sure it’s ever healthy to know what every single person in the world thinks about you,” she continued. “I think that’s probably a surefire recipe for burnout and disaster, which is kind of what this movie is about.”
Watson’s co-star, Tom Hanks also voiced similar concerns. “You can never predict, I think, how people are going to be willing to fill their time or to find themselves. Social media allows everybody to do both those things. How healthy it is, is probably only in the hands of the participants,” he said.
