The Scoop
As a conservative political backlash sweeps across US media, some are reaching for the ultimate prize: Hollywood.
Shifting the liberal tilt of the studios and creative culture that shapes America’s image of itself has long been a goal for the right: The late media entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart popularized the notion that politics is “downstream” from culture, and acolytes from Steve Bannon to Ben Shapiro have sought to inject their politics into the movie business, with limited success.
But conservatives have celebrated a few mainstream hits, like the patriotic and Taylor Sheridan’s nostalgic, libertarian-inflected . And a longstanding Christian culture industry has backed projects like the 2023 film , a dramatization of child trafficking that grossed more than $242 million for Provo’s Angel Studios. The Christian drama earned $30 million on a $6 million budget last year.
