In a bold move set to shake up the film industry, renowned Hollywood stars Roseanne Barr, Mark Wahlberg, and Mel Gibson have announced the creation of the first-ever “anti-woke” studio in the history of cinema. The initiative aims to challenge the trends and pressures of politically correct narratives that have dominated productions in recent years, providing a space for content focused on freedom of expression and entertainment free from ideological constraints.
The new studio, which has yet to reveal its name, promises to be a platform for films and series that aim to distance themselves from “woke” themes, addressing issues without the need to conform to progressive agendas or external pressures. In a press conference held today, the three stars made it clear that the goal is to create a genuine alternative for artists and viewers who feel disconnected from the current direction of Hollywood.
Roseanne Barr, known for her irreverent style and involvement in controversies, stated: “Hollywood has strayed from its roots. We’re creating a studio where artists can create without fear of retaliation or censorship. Our focus will be on bringing authentic stories, without forced political agendas.”
Mark Wahlberg, who has become one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, added: “Entertainment should be a form of free and creative expression, without limitations imposed by politics or ‘woke culture.’ We want to provide space for projects that truly speak to people in an honest and unfiltered way.”
Mel Gibson, renowned for both his work as an actor and director, added: “Cinema has the power to provoke, question, and inspire. Our studio will allow filmmakers to make films that challenge current norms and bring a broader, more diverse view of society.”
The creation of the studio has sparked a huge uproar on social media, with many applauding the initiative as a necessary response to the growing homogenization of film productions. However, there have also been criticisms from sectors that argue the entertainment industry should continue to promote inclusion and diversity in its narratives.
With the project still in its early stages, the trio of artists plans to begin production on their first projects in the coming months. For the public and Hollywood, the arrival of this new studio could mark the beginning of a revolution in the way cinema is produced and consumed in the decades to come.
