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 business of 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.

Now a set of prominent figures close to the software firm Palantir are pitching a new project to shake up streaming TV and film with a portfolio ranging from feature films about daring Israeli and American military operations to a three-part treatment of an Ayn Rand tome.

There was an attempt at Atlas Shrugged released in 2011. It flopped.

Oh and Ayn Rand was an atheist. But if Peter Thiel wants to dump his money down the shitter he should be encouraged.
