Tucker Carlson has made some surprising comments about his former employer, Fox News.

The former Fox News host admitted that the network pushes “propaganda” that is aimed at elderly viewers. He also criticized Trump‘s stance on the Israel-Iran conflict, which the President has already responded to.

While speaking on the Bannon’s War Room podcast, Carlson suggested that Fox News is pushing an agenda in the political world.

“What they’re doing is what they always do, which is just turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to, you know, knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them submit to where you want them to,” he said.

At one point during the interview, Carlson said, “I just don’t want my country to be further weakened or destroyed by another one of these wars. And boy, if...

Donald Trump responded to Tucker Carlson’s criticism of the administration’s support of Israeli strikes on Iran, with the president getting in a dig at the media personality’s post-Fox News career.

“I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying,” Trump said, as he attended the G7 summit in Canada on Monday. “Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen.”

Later, Trump posted on Truth Social, “Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, ‘Iran Can Not Have A Nuclear Weapon!'”

Since Israel launched its attacks on Iran, Carlson, a Trump supporter, has warned of U.S. involvement, underscoring a split in the Maga movement.

On Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast earlier Monday, Carlson said that he actually does “really love Trump. He is a deeply humane, kind person, and I am saying this because I am really afraid...

War Room podcast host Steve Bannon revealed that Elon Musk attacked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent “like a rugby player” during a physical altercation in the White House two months ago.

The fight occurred in mid-April after Musk and Bessent pitched different plans for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to President Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

In the end, Trump supported Bessent’s choice, Bannon told The Washington Post.

The two men left the meeting and started insulting each other within earshot of the president’s office, the former White House strategist mentioned to the outlet.

“Scott said, ‘You’re a fraud. You’re a total fraud,'” he added, referencing Musk’s failed effort to cut $1 trillion in federal spending.

The verbal altercation reportedly turned physical when the billionaire rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage “like a rugby player,” causing the Treasury secretary to fight back, Bannon claimed.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell stated during an interview that he wanted to bring a pillow to his defamation trial in order to contradict an attorney who claimed his pillows are not “lumpy.”

Lindell was scheduled to appear in Denver federal court on Monday morning as part of a defamation lawsuit filed by former Dominion Voting Systems employee Eric Coomer.

Coomer and Dominion both assert that the MyPillow CEO defamed them by promoting false accusations that Dominion machines helped rig the 2020 presidential election against Donald Trump.

During an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast during the weekend, Lindell recalled a prior discussion with an attorney in the case in which one attorney supposedly called the CEO’s pillows “lumpy.”

“MyPillow’s being sued, everybody,” he stated during the interview.

“By the way, Steve, this is the same lawyer that, in the deposition, called my pillows lumpy,” he told Bannon.

Kash Patel is set to become the latest of President Donald Trump‘s unfit and unqualified loyalists confirmed for a leadership role in Washington, with Senate Republicans ready and willing to install the QAnon promoter and 2020 election denier as the next director of the FBI. Once he becomes head of the powerful law enforcement agency, Patel is sure to go after Trump’s personal enemies, but he may have trouble targeting one of his own: tech oligarch and tightly embedded Trump whisperer Elon Musk.

During the Biden administration, Patel — a...

Exclusive: Sony’s President of Domestic Distribution Adrian Smith is retiring after a 35-year run at the studio.

Taking over for Smith is Adam Bergerman who is being upped to President of Distribution.

Smith was named to the post in January 2013. Following the retirement of longtime Worldwide Distribution President Rory Bruer in April 2017, global duties were separated with Smith on domestic, and Steven O’Dell overseeing International.

Smith was key in the release of 1,025 films across all Sony labels, 202 of them No. 1 titles. His fingerprints are all over the successful revivals of the Bad Boys franchise, the animated Spider-Verse films, Ghostbusters, the Venom $1 billion+ series as well as the Tom Holland-starring Spider-Man movies which have minted close to $4B alone. The release of 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home stands as the 7th highest grossing movie of all-time, the best ever for Sony, with $1.95 billion worldwide and $814.8M domestic.

Bergerman is a 28-year Sony vet,...

Steve Bannon, former White House strategist and host of the War Room podcast, has launched a scathing attack on billionaire Elon Musk, pledging to diminish his influence in the upcoming Trump administration.

“I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon told Italian daily Corriere della Sera, according to excerpts translated by Breitbart. “He will not have a blue pass to the White House… he will be like any other person.”

Bannon’s ire stems largely from Musk’s defense of H1-b visas, which allow skilled foreign workers into the U.S., a stance supported by President-elect Donald Trump.

“This thing of the H-1B visas, it’s about the entire immigration system being gamed by the tech overlords,” Bannon said, criticizing Musk and other tech leaders for exploiting the system. He also accused Musk of prioritizing wealth accumulation, saying, “[Musk] will do anything to make...

All five living presidents – Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton— were reunited on Jan. 9 to honor former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral in the Washington National Cathedral. The event saw civility between political foes. Trump and Obama were even seen laughing during a friendly exchange.

But former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon claimed that Bush snubbed Trump.

On his political podcast, WarRoom, Bannon called Bush “the worst president in the history of the country.”

“Bush walked past Trump, the man fixing the mess he created,” Bannon said. “This is who they are — arrogant, out-of-touch elites.”

Obama was also not spared on the podcast, even though Trump and Obama put their clashing politics aside.

The Forge is the ninth film by the Kendrick brothers (Alex and Stephen), who are well-known for their faith-based dramas. 

Released nine years after War Room, which became a sleeper hit grossing $74 million worldwide, The Forge carries forward the Kendrick brothers' legacy of crafting stories that resonate deeply with Christian audiences.

Two different characters in The Forge (Cynthia and Elizabeth) look just like actress Priscilla Shirer, making viewers question if she really has a twin sister like in the movie.

After premiering in theaters on August 23, 2024, The Forge was added to the Netflix streaming library on December 21. As of writing, it is in Netflix's Top 10 movies on the platform.

The film, directed by the Kendrick brothers, is set in the same continuity as War Room, another faith-based film that features some of the same characters in The Forge.

Wow, November got here fast. This year’s election cycle seemed shorter than usual. The presidential candidates were all but a foregone conclusion, until they weren’t. Now with election season finally here, things continue to be tense. Are smooth transitions between administrations a thing of the past, or has the fever from last cycle broken?

Despite the strange reality we live in now, politics have always been fertile ground for nerve-fraying anxiety. Whether that’s the paranoia of being under the all-seeing eye of the Nsa today, the tragedy of the assassinations in the 60s, or the scandals of the 70s, politics have never been for the faint of heart. Struggles for power rarely are.

Here’s some of our favorite political thrillers to put you in the right mood for election season:

War Room

For better or for worse, the documentary War Room defined ‘90s politics. Unlike the ‘80s,...

Steve Bannon, the former film producer and Trump strategist turned popular podcaster on the right, was released earlier today from federal prison after serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.

Bannon was found guilty in 2022 to two counts of contempt of Congress, as he refused to comply with a subpoena issued by the January 6th Committee. After he exhausted his appeals, he reported to a federal correctional facility in Danbury, Ct in July.

After his release, Bannon gave an interview to The New York Times before taping his podcast, War Room.

“The four months in federal prison didn’t break me, it empowered me,” Bannon said on the podcast. “I am more focused and more energized than I have ever been in my entire life, and I can see clearly just like in 2016 and 2020 exactly what is going on here and what we have to do to defeat it.

Asif Kapadia, the Oscar-winning director of Amy, has said he is “mortified” over his “Ill-judged” sharing of social media posts about the Israel-Gaza conflict.

In a statement, issued after Deadline revealed that he had been removed as a patron of documentary charity The Grierson Trust, Kapadia apologized for his conduct on Twitter (now X).

Kapadia said: “I’m mortified by the hurt and offence that some of my retweets have caused. I now understand that they will be seen by many as antisemitic, or in the case of one even justifying violence. That was not my intention.

“Like many I feel passionate about the fate of the Palestinian & Lebanese people and the suffering they have endured over the years, but I am equally passionate about all anti-racism and condemn all forms of antisemitism. I unequivocally apologise for these ill-judged reposts which were posted in haste with a lack of due consideration.

The Forge, a spin-off of War Room, is a faith-based drama about finding purpose through faith and prayer. Characters from War Room, like Tony and Elizabeth, appear in The Forge, linking the two stories together. Despite being a spin-off, The Forge has received positive reviews and strong box office numbers compared to War Room.

Released theatrically on August 23, 2024, The Forge is an uplifting faith-based drama with a positive message about righting past wrongs and starting life anew. Directed by Alex Kendrick from a screenplay he wrote with his brother Stephen Kendrick, the inspirational story concerns Isaiah Wright (Aspen Kennedy), a wayward teenager lacking direction. When he is forced to get a job or move out of his childhood home, Isaiah finds newfound hope in unlikely places.

The Forge marks the ninth movie made by the Kendrick brothers and the sixth produced by their company, Kendrick Brothers Productions. The first film...

Now that The Forge has made its way onto the big screen, theater showtimes and streaming details have started to emerge surrounding the faith-based movie. 

The Kendrick Brothers drama serves as a direct sequel to 2015's War Room. The Forge centers on a young man named Joshua Moore who, after graduating high school, is nudged in the right direction in life thanks to some unexplainable force. 

The film came to theaters on Friday, August 23, going on to gross a respectable $6.7 million in its first weekend domestically.

The box office numbers are starting to roll in, and the weekend gross for the controversial reboot of The Crow could not be worse. At the moment, ComScore has the film in eighth place for the weekend, with a $4.6 million gross and a shocking per-screen average of just over $1.6k. No matter how bad the box office outlook for the movie was in the lead-up to its opening weekend, no one thought it would crash and burn this badly. In our predictions, we figured it would open with $7 million and at least finish in the top 5, but it was not meant to be.

This is a disastrous result for Lionsgate, with it following hot on the heels of their mega-flop Borderlands. These two would-be franchise starters not only posted terrible grosses, but Borderlands was despised by audiences too, with it posting a rare D+ CinemsScore. At least as far as audience reaction goes,...

The Crow Debuts At Lower End Of Projections, Opening At No. 8

This article was originally written Saturday Am and has been updated Sunday Am with altered box office projections (in bold), a full chart, and further analysis.

The Crow is struggling to meet domestic box office expectations with an estimated debut haul between $4.5-5 million. Disney's Deadpool & Wolverine is set to reclaim the top spot with a three-day total of $17.4 million for its fourth weekend. Meanwhile, the previous weekend's No. 1 movie, Alien: Romulus, has been knocked down to the No. 2 position.

The Crow is so far not living up to its potential, struggling to match its initial expectations while a holdover hit reclaims the top spot during its opening weekend. The new movie is adapted from the James O'Barr comic book series of the same name and follows Eric (Bill Skarsgrd) coming back...

After a blip that allowed another film sell some tickets, “Deadpool & Wolverine” returned to the top of box office charts in its fifth weekend of release. Marvel’s superhero adventure towered over the (albeit anemic) competition as two newcomers, “The Crow” and “Blink Twice,” misfired in their debuts.

Director Zoe Kravitz’s twisted thriller “Blink Twice” led among new releases but faltered in fourth place with $7.3 million from 3,067 theaters. Meanwhile, Lionsgate’s R-rated reboot of “The Crow,” starring Bill Skarsgård as a murdered musician who is resurrected to avenge the deaths of himself and his fiancee, bombed with $4.6 million from 2,752 theaters to open in eighth place. Critics were fonder of “Blink Twice” compared to “The Crow” — the former landed a 79% on Rotten Tomatoes while the latter was saddled with a 20% “rotten” score — while audiences were mixed, giving both films a “B-” grade on CinemaScore. So, it remains to be...

In 2015, Alex and Stephen Kendrick co-wrote the faith-based film War Room, which defied expectations by earning $74 million at the box office on a $3 million budget. The duo is returning with their latest film, The Forge, which hits theaters on August 23. The film follows the story of Isaiah Wright, who is fresh out of high school with no plans for his future and is challenged by his mother to find his purpose.

The Forge Plot

Isaiah Wright finds himself stuck in the in-between. A year after he leaves high school, he only cares about playing basketball with his friends during the day and video games at night. After a confrontation with his mother, she forces him to find a job and start paying rent or find a friend who will let him move in with them. He meets Joshua Moore, who challenges his outlook for the next five years of who...

A little more than a week after Donald Trump was nearly assassinated at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Ohio state Sen. George Lang was warming up the crowd ahead of a speech from Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), when he started idly vamping about how the country might need a civil war.

“I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country — and it will be saved,” Lang said Monday. “It’s the greatest experiment in the history of mankind,...

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) had been ordered to attend Eagle County District Court for neglecting to pay a $174.50 speeding ticket, which she received in May, on time.

According to county police, the representative was caught on the morning of May 12, Mother’s Day, on Interstate 70 near mile marker 189 in a black Mazda Cx-50.

The Colorado State Patrol clocked Boebert going 84 miles per hour in a 65-mile-per-hour zone on May 12 at around 10:05 a.m. She was ordered to pay a $174.50 fine.

She was driving on the Vail Pass portion of I-70 westbound in Colorado, the Colorado State Patrol said.

The congresswoman was ordered to appear in Eagle County District Court on July 26 after failing to pay off the ticket within the required 20-day deadline so that the citation would not be sent to court.

If a ticket is over 40 days old, the department states it cannot accept payment, and the...

Steve Bannon reported to prison on Monday to serve out the four-month sentence resulting from his 2022 conviction on charges of contempt of Congress.

The former White House adviser to Donald Trump and influential right-wing radio host surrendered himself to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, a low-security prison where he will serve out his sentence.

“President Trump is going to be sentenced to prison on July 11. Me going here for four months is nothing,” Bannon said during a press conference Monday outside of the penitentiary. As he attempted to speak,...

Former White House aide Steve Bannon is set to start his prison sentence next week after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts denied his effort to stay free as he appeals his conviction.

In July 2022, Bannon was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to give documents to the House Select Committee on the U.S. Capitol attack after he was subpoenaed.

He was sentenced in October 2022 to four months in prison.

In early June, federal Judge Carl Nichols ordered him to report to the federal correctional institution in Danbury, Connecticut, which houses violent criminals, by July 1 to serve his sentence.

Roberts had rejected the White House aide’s appeal on June 28.

“The application for release pending appeal presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied,” the court stated in his one-sentence order.

Roberts oversees appeals similar to Bannon’s Washington,...

Steve Bannon, a former top adviser to the ex-president, is going to be serving time in a prison that houses violent criminals.

In July 2022, Bannon was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to give documents to the House Select Committee on the Capitol attack after being subpoenaed.

He was sentenced in October 2022 to four months behind bars.

Earlier this month, federal Judge Carl Nichols ordered him to report to prison by July 1 to serve his sentence.

The podcaster was ordered to report to the federal correctional institution in Danbury, Connecticut, on July 1 while he keeps fighting to avoid serving his four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.

“Steve Bannon denied his request for the so-called ‘Club-Fed’ when he is forced to report to prison,” CNN’s Erin Burnett recounted referring to a prison that houses non-violent criminals.

“Sources tell CNN that the longtime Trump ally...

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) advocated for morals in the nation and schools and for displaying the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.

However, Boebert’s moralizing has been criticized, as her own ethical missteps have been scrutinized.

Boebert praised Louisiana’s controversial new law, signed by Gov. Jeff Landry (R-Louisiana), which mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. “This is something we need throughout our nation because we need morals back in our nation, back in our schools,” she declared in a recent appearance on Steve Bannon‘s War Room podcast.

Boebert asserted, “Listed in the Ten Commandments, thou shall not steal. Maybe the left and some of these politicians are having a meltdown over having that right there listed in our classrooms, thou shall not steal, because government hates competition. And they don’t want our children to realize that’s something you shouldn’t be doing.

Federal Judge Carl Nichols has ordered former Trump adviser Steve Bannon to report to prison by July 1 to serve his four-month contempt of Congress sentence.

In July 2022, Bannon was found guilty on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents to the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack after being subpoenaed.

He had been sentenced in October 2022 to four months behind bars, the same sentence that another ex-Trump adviser, Peter Navarro, who also declined to comply with a Jan. 6 Committee subpoena, is now serving.

“The defendant chose allegiance to Donald Trump over compliance with the law,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Molly Gaston told jurors during closing arguments in 2022.

Bannon’s sentence had been put on hold pending appeal, and his lawyers made their case to a three-judge federal appeals court panel in November 2023.

In May, however, a Washington D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel...

Creator-owned streaming service Nebula has snagged a video content deal with Spotify.

That deal will bring content from some of Nebula’s 100+ education-oriented creators to the Spotify for Podcasters hub, which currently offers more than 2.5 million watchable episodes of podcasts. Video content has been a major focus for Spotify in its quest to outdo other podcast-offering platforms; it’s made several high-profile (and high-dollar-amount) deals for video podcasts, including its $100 million drop on The Joe Rogan Experience.

Nebula, meanwhile, was founded in 2019 by CEO Dave Wiskus as a “thoughtful expansion pack for YouTube” where participating creators earn revenue from views and get an ownership stake in the platform.

From their partnership, Spotify will get an opening slate of content from YouTubers including CinemaWins, Charles Cornell, Hello Future Me, Captain Midnight, Tale Foundry, Game Makers ToolKit, Todd in the Shadows, Adam Neely, The Closer Look, Fd Signifier, and Kat Blaque.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) shot back at Fox News after columnist Liz Peek wrote an op-ed in which she called the Georgia representative an “idiot.”

“It’s high time someone in the Republican Party told Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to turn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats and stop trying to defeat her own party,” Peek wrote in her op-ed, which was titled, “Marjorie Taylor Greene is an idiot. She is trying to wreck the GOP.”

Peek noted that the representative “would rather burn down the House, metaphorically speaking, than work towards the greater good.”

She added, “The greater good, unless she and her fellow discontents in Congress have forgotten, is defeating Joe Biden in November.”

She later mentioned in her op-ed that “the internal squabbles of the party” must end.

“If Marjorie Taylor Greene and others want to oppose aid to Ukraine or the Fisa bill,...

MyPillow is facing a court-ordered eviction from a warehouse in Minnesota, but the company’s controversial CEO, Mike Lindell, insisted that they are still doing well financially.

The news comes after the CEO claimed he had been “canceled” by Fox News. Lindell gained national prominence for supporting former President Donald Trump‘s false claims of a “rigged” election.

Lindell argued that this eviction is just a formality related to a mutual agreement between himself and the warehouse’s owner to vacate this property, which he stated was last used by MyPillow in spring 2023.

He said that MyPillow subleased the space to a candy company in 2023 and had planned on subleasing it to a sugar beet company this year. However, the sugar beet company reneged on the contract at the last minute, he claimed, which left the MyPillow CEO and the warehouse owner “stranded.”

Lindell stated that he thought about finding...

Nebula is venturing into new frontiers. As the creator-operated streaming service unveils its latest slate of original content, it is also launching a new division. Nebula News, a partnership between the streamer and Jack Kelly of Tldr News, will deliver the latest headlines.

Kelly will take the lead as the news director of Nebula’s new unit. In a media landscape rife with misinformation and sensationalism, Nebula plans to apply its educational, fact-focused bent to its news coverage. Kelly and his team will roll out originals while providing context for trending stories.

“Tldr has been working with Nebula for a couple of years now, and I’ve been consistently impressed by Nebula’s commitment not only to the creator community but also to creating the best experience and product for Nebula viewers,” Kelly said in a statement. “So, when I was approached to head up Nebula’s new News product,...

The first edition of India’s Cinevesture International Film Festival (Ciff) has revealed 20 projects that will participate in its accompanying market.

Comprising 17 features and three series, several of the projects are by creators who have found acclaim both internationally and in South Asia.

From Bangladeshi auteur Mostofa Sarwar Farooki (Busan title “Something Like an Autobiography”) comes Hindi and English-language unconventional romance “To Hell With Love.” Alankrita Srivasttava (Tokyo winner “Lipstick Under My Burkha”) has English and Hindi-language drama “Girls of Orlem,” an adaptation of Lindsay Pereira’s bestselling novel “Gods and Ends.” Gurvinder Singh is prepping Hindi, Punjabi and English-language historical thriller series “The Trial.”

Jayson Boebert, the estranged husband of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado), was arrested for allegedly assaulting their son, Tyler Boebert.

A January 9 police report stated that Jayson started fighting with his son after he got home from a bar at about 1:00 a.m. He noticed that his infant grandson was asleep in a laundry basket filled with clothes.

Tyler told police that his dad, who spoke with a slurred speech, began hitting his legs and attempted to seize his phone.

After he got a hold of the phone, Jayson reportedly tossed it. He then shoved his son while putting his thumb in his mouth.

According to the police report, Tyler believed that his father was going to pull out one of his teeth.

The report also claimed that Jayson then pushed a woman, the manager of a New Castle bar, who drove him home and tried to break the fight up.

Controversial MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claimed that Fox News has “canceled” his company after discovering that the network had stopped airing the company’s TV advertisements.

On January 12, Lindell announced that Fox News had stopped running his ubiquitous MyPillow ads on former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon‘s podcast, War Room.

“As you know, Steve, ever since I’ve been speaking out about our election platforms January of ’21, they’ve been attacking my company, MyPillow, with cancel culture, the box stores, the shopping channels and now Fox News,” Lindell shared.

“Fox News has canceled MyPillow, and I don’t have the reasons why yet,” Lindell declared. “I can only say, ‘Well the caucuses are coming on Monday. They know my brand is with great President Donald Trump.'”

“Maybe it’s because I brought Lou Dobbs over to my Lindell-tv network this week,” the CEO suggested. “But everything is just very alarming and suspicious.

Fox News appears to have cut ties with the conservative bedding brand My Pillow, once one of the network’s largest and most prominent advertisers.

My Pillow Founder and CEO Mike Lindell announced that the right-wing news network revoked their advertising deals with the brand on Thursday during a broadcast of the Steve Bannon “War Room” show. According to data from the progressive watchdog Media Matters My Pillow appears to have been a leading advertiser across Fox News in 2023. The group added that “MyPillow’s most recent ad appears to...

The new video revisits Leela's final moments in the Last Great Time War. Leela, an ex-companion of the Fourth Doctor, is given a teleportation device by a Gallifreyan soldier to escape the conflict. Leela's fate on Gallifrey after her departure from the Doctor is revealed, showcasing her continued battles against evil.

Doctor Who revisits the final days of the Last Great Time War, as the trailer for "Doctor Who - The Collection: Season 15" depicts how Fourth Doctor companion Leela (Louise Jameson) spent the final moments of the conflict. Jameson traveled with Tom Baker's incarnation of the Time Lord from 1977 to 1978, making her debut in the season 14 story "The Face of Evil". A warrior from the tribe of the Sevateen, Leela's travels with the Doctor gave her a greater perspective on what the universe can offer.

While most "The Collection" trailers released on Doctor Who's YouTube channel have explored...

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) blamed Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Barbra Streisand for her decision to switch districts and accused them of attempting to influence the outcome of the congressional race with donations to her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch.

Boebert made these claims in an interview on Steve Bannon‘s War Room podcast and emphasized that her move from Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District to the 4th Congressional District was driven by her commitment to defend and advance conservative principles.

In the interview, Boebert asserted the need for a strong conservative voice in her new district and expressed her determination to counter the alleged influence of Hollywood elites. She claimed that nearly $10 million had been funneled into her current district in an effort to “purchase” the seat, and added that the Colorado 3rd District was not for sale.

Boebert’s announcement of her district switch last week means she will...

The Maga offensive against Donald Trump challenger Nikki Haley took a profane twist at AmericaFest, the annual political convention hosted by the Christian nationalist group Turning Point USA, billed as “the biggest freedom party of the year!”

Former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, in a speech to the all-ages crowd at the Phoenix Convention Center, compared the former South Carolina governor and Trump U.N. ambassador to “Lucifer.” And his warning that there will be establishment pressure to make Haley Trump’s running mate spurred the crowd to chant,...

Veteran producer Jon Erwin and former Netflix and YouTube exec Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten have announced the launch of The Wonder Project, a new independent studio that will cater to faith and values-oriented audiences.

Founded by Chief Content Officer Erwin and overseen by CEO Hoogstraten, The Wonder Project will look to create premium film and TV content for what they see as a huge audience that has traditionally been underserved by the entertainment industry. They’ll aim to build on the marked success in this arena of such recent titles as The Chosen and The Sound of Freedom, as well as older works like The Passion of the Christ, Heaven is for Real, I Can Only Imagine, War Room, Miracles from Heaven, and Soul Surfer, as they build their global audience.

More than $75 million in seed and Series A funding was raised ahead of launch from such major players as Sovereign’s Capital,...

When an independent film becomes as commercially successful as Sound of Freedom, which has presently grossed nearly $215 million at the worldwide box office against a production cost of less than $15 million, the film’s director and star typically become hot properties in Hollywood.

Indeed, in the case of Sound of Freedom, it would be reasonable to assume that the film’s director, Alejandro Monteverde, and star, Jim Caviezel, would be courted by various Hollywood studios to direct and star in big-budget studio films.

However, none of the typical rules of Hollywood seem to apply to Sound of Freedom, which has seemingly had a negligible effect on the careers of the film’s principals, especially Caviezel, for whom the success of Sound of Freedom has, if anything, only exacerbated Caviezel’s prolonged estrangement from Hollywood.

Risky Sacrifices

Of course, Jim Caviezel’s estrangement from Hollywood began with Caviezel’s titular starring...

“Sound of Freedom” is the biggest success story of the summer outside of “Barbenheimer,” with $182 million in box office for the child-trafficking thriller — but its director isn’t taking part in the spoils.

Alejandro Gómez Monteverde sold his back-end participation to get the film finished, which means the filmmaker didn’t get rich off the stunning theatrical success.

“Like any independent film, we ran out of money,” Monteverde told TheWrap. “I decided to sell my points to the producers so we could finish the picture.”

“I don’t even want to think about what those points might be worth,” he added.

The movie took a challenging path to the box office. Produced in 2018 by Sentient Entertainment (which also produced “Map to the Stars” and “Taken”), the picture ended up in limbo after initial distributor Fox Latin America was purchased by Disney. Producer Eduardo Verástegui bought back the rights and approached Angel Studios,...

When far-right influencer Andrew Tate was arrested by Romanian authorities on suspicion of sex trafficking last December, the Romanian agency Diicot argued that Tate and his brother Tristan used the “loverboy method” to lure women to their compound in Bucharest under the guise of having a relationship with them before forcing them to do sex work. Tate has maintained his innocence, arguing that he never at any point has had to coerce any of his partners into doing sex work for him and recently telling Tucker Carlson that he had...

Into the Spotlight, the coming-of-age musical based on a screenplay by teenager Kate Larson, who was just 15 years old when she wrote it, has found a home in North America.

Note: Spoilers for “Theater Camp” are included.

Searchlight Pictures’ “Theater Camp” is a delightfully fun look at the wacky world of youth theater camps that draws inspiration from some of the best documentary features. “‘Metallica Some Kind of Monster’ or ‘War Room’ [was] a huge influence on us,” codirector Nick Lieberman told TheWrap. “Frederick Wiseman’s ‘Salesman,’ those movies all have moments that are some of my favorite funniest moments in movies. The challenge was how can you create that feeling, or create that spirit or write to that spirit?”

Ben Platt and Noah Galvin play two of the teachers working with the camp’s budding actors. They also worked on the film’s original songs (with Galvin also acting as cowriter on the script). “This movie is an amalgam of all of us,” Galvin said. “The characters we play are little scrapbooks of all of the teachers and theater people...
