DAILY WIRE GOES HOLLYWOOD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Breitbart News, an organization pre-dating both Fox Nation and The Daily Wire, just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2022\/08\/18\/breitbart-enters-film-distribution-business-with-my-son-hunter-directed-by-robert-davi-starring-laurence-fox-and-gina-carano\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joined the filmmaking fray<\/a>. The company will distribute \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/my-son-hunter-director-robert-davi\/\">My Son Hunter,<\/a>\u201d director Robert Davi\u2019s comic expose of the First Son and his nefarious business ties.<\/p>\n<p>The film, teased as the first of several projects from Breitbart, stars Laurence Fox as Hunter Biden and co-stars \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/terror-on-the-prairie-review-carano-searcy\/\">Terror on the Prairie<\/a>\u201d star Gina Carano.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBreitbart has always believed freedom flourishes with more voices, not less,\u201d said Breitbart CEO Larry Solov. \u201cAs we begin distributing films, that belief will be a guiding light. In 2020, Big Tech colluded with the mainstream media to bury one of the biggest political scandals to protect their chosen presidential candidate. It was unprecedented and outrageous. My Son Hunter is a film they never wanted you to see, which is precisely why Americans must.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trio of platforms joins SalemNOW, a platform dedicated to sharing right-leaning films, documentaries and more. The streaming service, tied to Salem Media Group, will debut \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/dallasexpress.com\/uncle-tom-ii-movie-set-for-august-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Uncle Tom II: An American Odyssey<\/a>,\u201d Aug. 26.<\/p>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/uncle-tom-imdb-rotten-tomatoes\/\"> first film in that series<\/a>, produced by talk show host Larry Elder, proved a sleeper hit two years ago.\u00a0A Denver screening for the film <a href=\"https:\/\/salemdenver.ticketspice.com\/uncle-tom-ii\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sold out days prior to the event.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The platforms\u2019 collective attempts to go Hollywood won\u2019t happen without some struggles.<\/p>\n<p>Movie making is fraught with standard-issue perils.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lousy results<\/li>\n<li>Bloated budgets<\/li>\n<li>Weak ratings<\/li>\n<li>Creative differences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Any filmmaker will face those all-too familiar threats. The right-leaning platforms invite more woes, the kind traditional features avoid.<\/p>\n<p>Will some actors refuse to work with conservative platforms on ideological grounds? Or, more likely, may actors fear reprisals if they show up on, say, a Daily Wire movie set?<\/p>\n<p>Can the stars count on traditional outlets to promote their work, or will they rely on conservative media to spread the word?<\/p>\n<p>And will one conservative media outlet be game to promote a film produced by a competitor?<\/p>\n<p>One thing is clear.<\/p>\n<p>These platforms see an opening in the marketplace, an under-served population starved for content that speaks to their needs, their values. Now, we\u2019ll see if the programming can align with those interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hollywood is increasingly tone deaf to half its stateside audience.
