Winona Ryder is a cinephile and really wants her younger co-stars to be, too. In recent interviews while promoting her role in Tim Burton’s upcoming sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the Oscar-nominated actor lamented over how some of the young actors she’s worked with in recent years just aren’t interested in watching movies. Be it working with the “Stranger Things” kids or Jenna Ortega on the “Beetlejuice” sequel, Ryder told Esquire she is very much aware that “I’ve gone from being the youngest person on set to being the oldest.”

As the Los Angeles Times noted in a recent profile: “Ryder appreciates getting to interact with the up-and-coming generation of film lovers who remind her of herself, excitedly telling me how her ‘Stranger Things’ co-star Finn Wolfhard is obsessed with Elliott Gould. Still, she gets frustrated when there is a lack of curiosity among her more junior colleagues.”

“I don’t intend to sound so pessimistic,” she elaborated to the magazine. “There are a few who simply aren’t interested in movies. Like, the first thing they ask is, ‘How long is it?’”

She told Esquire magazine in a separate interview: “I just think that social media has changed everything, and I know I sound old. I’m very aware of that. And part of me thinks, ‘Gosh, am I like vaudeville at this point?’ Like [elderly lady voice], ‘Hey, kids, turn down the music!’ But I just think there was such an abundance: the history of film, the history of photography, it’s so rich, and there’s so much there, and I don’t mean we should go backwards, but I wish and I hope that the younger generation will study that.”

Although Ryder didn't specifically mention any of her younger co-stars by name, “Stranger Things” actress Millie Bobby Brown did give a viral interview earlier this year where she discussed how she doesn't usually watch movies.

“People approach me and say, ‘You should definitely check out this film, it would change your life,'” Brown stated at the time. “I’m like, ‘How long am I expected to sit through it?’ Because my brain and I don’t even enjoy sitting through my own movies.”

When she isn’t engaged in promotional activities for “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” Ryder has been in Atlanta filming the final season of “Stranger Things.” The series has consumed a decade of her life.

“Ten years! I never thought,” Ryder told Esquire . “[At first] I was like, ‘I don’t want to be doing this when I’m in my fifties!’ It’s crazy, and it’s even crazier to be my age. But I love the boys and I love [the actors] Sadie [Sink] and Maya [Hawke]. It’s been really wonderful.”

Ryder fans can see the actor in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” when it hits theaters Sept. 6 from Warner Bros.
