Gina Carano Announces Movie Project for Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire

lol

Yeah....Let's see if anything ever really happens. It's so easy to make these kind of announcements....Making a movie? Um, a bit harder...

Good. Cancel the twitter bullies.

Hideous beast

[quote] Hideous beast

That’s what I said.

Ben Shapiro, the failed screenwriter-turned-conservative-pundit who left mean ole Hollywood because it was too liberal and dumb to understand his scripts?

Yeah. She might as well start booking parts in the Left Behind series because at least that’s a step above teaming up with this loser.

Hilarious responses:

[quote]THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!! I said this all day yesterday! Now pair her up with Kevin Sorbo, cast james Woods as the villian and Jon Voigt as her handler! The is FRANCHISE worthy I tell you!

[quote]Don't forget Scott Baio!

[quote]everyone else did

[quote]I am so looking forward to hearing that massive FLOP when this is released...

[quote]I can see the title of the new movie: The Twatalorian.

[quote]James Gunn took his firing much better.

[quote]Well I'm confused as a Jewish man he isnt bothered by the fact she compared the holocaust to being a republican, shows how cult like he has turned as well

[quote]From a huge budget, watched by millions, Disney franchise series to a straight to YouTube movie on Ben Shapiro’s “network”. Yeah she really showed them. Lol

Trash hiring trash.

Bitch stole my act.

[quote] they'll just be helping us build the Xwing to take down their Death Star.

I didn't think that a serious adult wordsmith like Shapiro would get involved with this simplistic adolescent fantasy nonsense.

I definitely see a market for conservative Hollywood. It's not just faith based movies any more, but 80s action type movies, revenge type films, and comedy films that take no prisoners, ultra violence. Those are all films that have fallen out of fashion due to the woke crowd.

Movie theaters are dying anyway. I have no reason to believe that Shapiro can't build an empire similar to what indie studios did in the 90s. Without theaters, it's more of a level playing field.

Logline: MAGAts go back in time to save bullied SS members from a horde of Jews.

I watched Shapiro's well informed take on the situation. What she did was no worse than comparing Trump or any other Republican to Hitler. No matter if you think her views are misguided, she definitely wasn't justifying the Holocaust.

Equivocating MAGAT-ajacent whataboutism du jour from weasel R13.

[quote]I definitely see a market for conservative Hollywood.

Yeah, I can see this happening. Do we know how Run Hide Fight did financially? Or rather, how many people actually streamed it? There's also that Antonio Sabado Jr.-directed western starring the likes of Kevin Sorbo, Dean Cain, Stacey Dash, and Scott Baio.

Wouldn't be surprised if we get American Patriot: The Ashli Babbitt Story, or some Kyle Rittenhouse-type tale.

NazCTV

This man starred in Ben Shapiro's last film

R15 I don't think Kevin Sorbo or Dean Cain are that marketable but Gibson, Willis, Statham, and Kurt Russel can still do decent business. Plus if the content is good enough, they can create new stars like Carano.

She is not that good of an actress so I'm ok with her not appearing on the Mandelorian in the future. But I do think what she didnt wasnt warranted. Disagree if you want but let her have her views.

They don't have to cater to the fringe. There is plenty of room just being an alternative to the major studios.

Ever notice how a majority of these conservative actors suck at acting.

There are lots of actors who are low key or closet conservatives. If the material becomes profitable at some point, I'm sure they will lend their talents as well.

At first I thought it said Gia Carangi and was confused.

In a way, she does look like Gia, though something tells me the real Gia wouldn't have been flattered by that comparison...at all.

[quote] suck at acting

95% of people who appear on screen 'suck'.

They stand in front of a camera and a green screen. The director does all the work and the film editor discards all their mistakes

R24 Right, even the original Star Wars wasn't a show piece for acting. Gina has physicality and charisma to make it in action films.

Hey, neo-MAGAt R19. Let's pretend you have a job. Let's say the guy in the next cubicle says, out loud, every day, "Black people are lazy."

Saying it every day, or, say, with a bullhorn on the roof of your office: "Black people are lazy!"

Still "...disagree if you want but let her have her views." ?

Well, then, you're a stupid cunt crumb. That's my view.

If you work for a company whose policy includes, "Don't stand on a roof with a bullhorn saying 'Black people are lazy,' or you're fired,' you get fired.

The Ben Shapiro fanboy in this thread is hilarious, especially posting a picture of a black actor at R17 as a way to show Shapiro isn't too bad since he has black actors in his movies.

That's an interesting analogy, R25, but not particularly apt.

I'm definitely not a MAGA fool. Havent ever voted for Republican for president. The stuff she said wasnt good but as someone more to the left, those on the left say comparatively insulting things. I know "both sides" bullshit. But its true.

Left Behind series in 18 months.

She isnt that charismatic, kind of bland honestly. But she does have the physicality and acting ability to do blah action flicks.

Staring Kevin Sorbo and Kid Rock as once estranged brothers brought back together by their love for Trump and America. Soundtrack by Ted Nugent.

Will Kirk Cameron be involved?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

Can't wait to hear what the budget for this project will be. I'm guessing it won't be a big budget operation.

If conservatives are so mistreated like the jews when are they scheduled for the ovens?

R29, you may not be a MAGAt, but you sure do type like one.

Her employers have a policy about public behavior. She violated it, repeatedly. She got fired.

She can still say anything she wants. Got it, cement-head?

I thought her character on the Mandalorian was useless. Not sure what the writers were going for.

How can she be so stupid not to realize Jews mostly control all the entertainment venues in this country, so denigrating them in whatever form is strictly taboo. This, fortunately will be the end of her career.

Ben Shapiro's tweet about the situation:

[quote]Hollywood cancelled @ginacarano for being conservative. That's bullshit. So we're fighting back. Become a DW member today with promo code GINA for 25% off, and join the cultural resistance.

Endless grifting.

"Give us money for being assholes, assholes."

Ben needs to write it. She can be the fearless non-PC heroine to his formerly dweeb but now macho hero.

(Read the whole tweet thread, it's golden.)

I am not an asshole. I am superior to assholes.

How many more examples do people need of the reason right-wing Jewish asshole's call the left "antisemitic" is based solely in holding Israel accountable for their behavior? I mean they're currently getting praise for their covid response as they prevent Palestinians from getting the vaccine.

This fucking asshole is aligned with white supremacy.

Nice company you keep, Gina!

Stinky linky, R45.

R45 typical of the left to try to cancel someone by association even as they protect the joss whedons who make them money. They don’t want competition.. They want a monopoly. They’ll whine about others not being able to succeed on merit even as they put all their resources to try to get them canceled anyway.

When the news broke last week that The Daily Wire, a right-wing Facebook publisher co-founded by Ben Shapiro that regularly traffics in misinformation, would be making its first foray into the movie biz with the acquisition of school shooting thriller Run Hide Fight, a number of crew members who worked on the film were caught by surprise.

“Is there a way to remove your name from a crew list?” asks Cristen Leah Haynes, the film’s additional second assistant director. “If I’d known… I’ve never wanted to take my name off of a project more.”

Directed by Kyle Rankin, Run Hide Fight follows a group of high school teenagers fighting for their lives against live-streaming gunmen. Starring Isabel May, Thomas Jane, and Radha Mitchell, the actioner is produced by Dallas Sonnier and Amanda Presmyk, the team behind Cinestate—a Dallas-based movie studio specializing in “populist” films for the Trump crowd like Dragged Across Concrete, a nasty piece of police brutality apologia starring Mel Gibson. Cinestate had a virtual monopoly on film production in the Dallas region, where film work is relatively scarce, and took full advantage, pressuring its crew into 18-hour days with no overtime pay and forcing them into compromising situations—the most hazardous of which concerned their producing partner Adam Donaghey.

In April of 2020, Donaghey, co-producer of A Ghost Story and the Cinestate films Satanic Panic, VFW, and Run Hide Fight, was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault of a minor after a woman in the Texas film scene came forward alleging he’d raped her when she was 16.

Two months later, The Daily Beast published a detailed investigation into Donaghey and Cinestate revealing that Sonnier and Presmyk had—for years—not only turned a blind eye to Donaghey’s predatory behavior but given him more power and authority within the company, including controlling employees’ hours and payment. Cinestate effectively shuttered in the wake of the story. The final films created under their banner were Till Death, a yet-to-be-released romantic comedy starring Jason Sudeikis, and Run Hide Fight.

The Ugly Backstory of Ben Shapiro’s First Movie MOLDING MINDS Marlow Stern

“At that point, it’s a safety issue,” a crewmember on Satanic Panic told me. “When you hire someone who has been accused of sexually assaulting someone, and you put them in charge of writing checks for everyone in your entire company, are you not giving that person power to abuse further—whether sexually or through forced labor?”

One of Donaghey’s victims was Haynes, who’d managed to capture audio of him sexually harassing her during the making of the 2014 film Occupy Texas. The Donaghey audio, which was published in our story, was common knowledge within the Dallas film world, including by Sonnier and Presmyk. According to Haynes, she hasn’t heard from Sonnier or Presmyk since the story ran.

“After the article came out, there was nothing,” Haynes tells me. “Which is weird. An apology would be the right thing to do, but at this point I can’t expect that from them.”

It was also discovered that Sonnier and Presmyk had brushed aside an allegation of sexual harassment during the filming of VFW, with acting vet Fred Williamson accused of groping an assistant costume designer during a wardrobe fitting (Williamson denies this); that they had pressured actress Ruby Modine (daughter of Matthew) into performing a sex scene with a fanboy on Satanic Panic; and that Sonnier had failed to properly address an alleged incident on the set of his horror film Condemned involving actor Johnny Messner exposing himself to a costume designer.

“Dallas is gonna have to answer for the things that he’s done,” she adds. “And I don’t know anybody that would work with him given the terrible things he’s done.”

Enter The Daily Wire. Co-founded by the reactionary pundit Ben Shapiro and former film producer Jeremy Boreing, the outlet has long made a mockery of the #MeToo movement—and even called for its end. So it perhaps comes as little surprise that they’d partner with Sonnier and Presmyk on their debut film.

“Honestly, I feel like it’s pretty on-brand for both of them to team up,” says Brittany Ingram, production designer of the Cinestate film Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. “I find it incredibly unfortunate that a lot of my friends might have to work on some of these propaganda films—because that’s what they are. I do feel ashamed that I worked with them. And the potential that could come from a partnership like this could be damaging in terms of its influence.”

Boreing, a Texas native who produced the 2007 thriller Spiral before entering the right-wing blogosphere, confesses that he’d read my story on Cinestate prior to acquiring Run Hide Fight but it—and the more than thirty people I spoke with for the piece—didn’t dissuade him.

“I read your report before I made the decision to acquire the film,” he says. “To the extent that things may have taken place in the production of this film or another film, I don’t think it’s my business—in the same way that it’s not my business if something takes place at any other kind of company that I buy product from. I’m sure there have been allegations of sexual harassment at almost every major product company in the country. That doesn’t mean the product itself has to be banned.”

He adds, “Those things—to the extent that anything did happen—didn’t happen under my watch.” (Shapiro, Sonnier, and Presymyk would not comment on the team-up.)

While Run Hide Fight is the first Daily Wire film release, Boreing explains that they’ve “wanted to move into the entertainment space for a long time” in order to provide content for an “underserved” conservative audience. They were approached by Sonnier after Run Hide Fight failed to attract any compelling offers following its Venice Film Festival premiere. Boreing envisions The Daily Wire as a subscription-based streaming service that will “hopefully one day have numbers like Starz.”

“There are fundamentally conservative values that we’d like to see in our content,” he maintains, citing movies like Mel Gibson’s Braveheart.

“There was some really sketchy shit going on on that movie,” Haynes tells me of Run Hide Fight.

Haynes, as a favor to her friend, was tasked with filling in as second assistant AD for a few days after they’d departed the project—one of several people who walked off Run Hide Fight at various points in its production, including first AD Meg Beatty (who could not be reached for comment) and key hair and makeup artist Madeleine Rose.

“Other makeup artists had turned down the job due to the sexual-harassment accusations that had been swirling, although I wasn’t aware of those at the time,” Rose remembers.

Donaghey served as executive producer of Run Hide Fight, although the credit has since been removed from the film’s publicity materials and its IMDb page.

“I came in for a few days under the agreement that I would not have to deal with Adam, and that we wouldn’t speak to each other,” says Haynes, who needed the work.

During pre-production, Rose was shocked to learn that a skeleton crew had gone off and filmed the slaughter of a deer, which she says was in violation of a number of film and hunting regulations (I spoke to two other crew members who back up Rose’s account; The Daily Wire says they were unaware of this occurring).

“They hired a local hunter, went on his land, and filmed the deer being shot. Then they took the deer and froze it, so they could pull it out again for close-ups with the actual actors,” says Rose. (Sonnier claims it was “the legal harvest of a registered buck” and that SAG-AFTRA took no issue with the episode.)

When Rose voiced her concerns over the deer to Donaghey, she says he mocked and derided her. “He went off on me in a very condescending way,” she recalls. “He got very heated and told me I was either with them or against them.”

Rose quit the film the next day. Looking back on the experience, she can’t believe that Donaghey, who again has been arrested for the rape of a 16-year-old girl, was allowed to serve as executive producer of a high school-set film with a number of youngsters on set.

“There were hundreds of minors on that set who were all extras, and I don’t think the crew was big enough to have eyes on all of them, and that is a very creepy thing for me to think about,” says Rose.

Run Hide Fight will be distributed by The Daily Wire and in lieu of Cinestate, is now listed as being produced by Bonfire Legend, Sonnier’s new production company. But the merger of Shapiro and Boreing with Sonnier has struck many in the Dallas film community as an odious one.

“Film work was already sparse enough in Dallas and now, with the COVID-decimated economy, [Sonnier’s] gonna have a lot of people forced into an extremely unpleasant decision where they have to choose between their values and putting food on the table,” says local filmmaker Blair Rowan. “Cinestate was a toxic enough presence on the Dallas film scene, but this latest iteration is downright malignant.”

The Mandalorian was not filmed in front of a green screen. The show is famous for using live sets.

R48-R50 The Daily Beast is not even bothering to be impartial nor conceal their jealousy of their commercial rival.

When is The Daily Beast going to commence movie production?

R50 Didn't bother reading that entire article. Misconduct allegations should be taken seriously but that doesn't mean trashing the contributions of the entire crew or everyone who worked on a film.

The Nolan Batman films, and as far as I can tell, every Christopher Nolan movie are very conservative leaning. They were all big hits. The Joker, if we were to believe the gatekeepers of the press, was an incel movie. Nevertheless, that movie was extremely successful. I haven't seen Dragged Across Concrete, but from what I have read, it's definitely not "a nasty piece of police brutality apologia". These critics are absolutely shameless.

[quote] typical of the left

R47 a full-tilt whiny snowflake MAGAt. You worship fatties who bring guns to kill people at the Capitol, but your boss tells you to shut up and you're suddenly a civil rights activist. Fucktard.

It’s ironic that this thing that looks like a tranny had issues with using proper pronouns.

Ben Shapiro—he's the teensy, scowling Wunderkind who hedged his bets on Trump and has basically been running in place for the last five years, right? I didn't know he used to be a screenwriter or had any literary pretensions, other than playing the "smart" right-winger for the benefit of those intelligent enough to see through Glenn Beck.

I don't know Ben!

I did not like Heath Ledger in his role as “Joker”.

[quote] he used to be a screenwriter

Just the one, dear.

OP's pic made me go "when did Mariska get a giant mole on her face?".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

LOL!

Why are we humoring right wing nut jobs with discussion as if this news is anything but pitiful, pathetic, and desperate? There is no large "conservative base" for entertainment like this. If there were, conservative entertainment would be more successful and mainstream. They may tell you to your face that this is what they want, but they will then turn around and go watch "lefty" productions all day. You know what conservatives watch? Same shit lefties do. The right wingers I know never miss an episode of their sleazy reality shows and big Hollywood movies. They may have a dvd of "God's Not Dead", but guaranteed it isn't going to get more plays than the super hero movies.

This Gia cunt would ditch Shapiro and his sad little company in a heartbeat if Disney, Marvel, and other big Hollywood outfits came calling. "Lets's see, do I want to do God's not Dead part 22, or a Marvel movie?"

She's not convincing enough as a human being. There are only so many movies in which she can play Godzilla.

Any room for Kirstie Alley in that franchise? Oh, wait... with Kirstie around there's never enough room for anybody else.

Sorbo is a failed actor who would have licked liberal ass to be part of the Hollywood Elite. See Kirsty Swanson, that Baio thing, the Baldwin brother who played Barnie Rubble, etc.

I don't understand why liberals don't just let Ben/Gina make fools of themselves here.

From starring in arguably the biggest franchise of all time owned by arguably the biggest media company in the world to making a fringe movie on a fringe website. Wow she really is showing us. Her career is sure on the upswing now. :::rolls eyes:::

R94 That's really stretching it. Weinstein's crimes go back decades and involve dozens of victims.

Gina is #1 on IMDb Starmeter. Looks like the whole Disney cut ties because of "the fans" was a load of BS.

Not to mention that firing her fucked up Favreu's plans for future seasons of the Mandalorian.
