Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or if you don’t give a shit about “Star Wars” and/or political drama), you’re probably aware that Gina Carano was let go from her contract with Lucasfilm, and thus, no longer a part of the cast of “The Mandalorian,” after her latest controversial tweets got her in even more hot water. Well, it appears that Carano has already landed on her feet, so to speak, fully embracing her Conservative leanings and is set to team up with The Daily Wire for a new film project.
According to Deadline, Carano has announced that she is beginning to develop and produce her own film with the help of the Conservative website, The Daily Wire. The title and premise are unknown at this time, but maybe it’s about a former MMA star that jumps into the world of acting and then throws it all away after posting numerous ill-advised tweets aimed at riling up a fanbase and then acting shocked when a major international corporation decided to part ways with her after people began calling her anti-Semitic? Nah, that’s probably too unbelievable, right?
“The Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams — to develop and produce my own film — come true,” said Carano. “I cried out and my prayer was answered. I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob. I have only just begun using my voice which is now freer than ever before, and I hope it inspires others to do the same. They can’t cancel us if we don’t let them.”
“We could not be more excited to be working with Gina Carano, an incredible talent dumped by Disney and Lucasfilm for offending the authoritarian Hollywood Left. This is what Daily Wire exists to do: provide an alternative not just for consumers, but for creators who refuse to bow to the mob,” said Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro. “We’re eager to bring Gina’s talent to Americans who love her, and we’re just as eager to show Hollywood that if they want to keep canceling those who think differently, they’ll just be helping us build the Xwing to take down their Death Star.”
If you’re confused about how The Daily Wire fits into all of this, other than the fact that it makes sense that this website would love to get into bed with someone that has been “canceled,” then you probably missed the part where the news website is now attempting to make a name for itself in the film industry. The website’s first distributed film is the new “Die Hard”-esque school shooting film, “Run Hide Fight,” which itself is the subject of scrutiny.
It appears The Daily Wire is really interested in tackling projects that it perceives will somehow “stick it to the man” or something. Well, good luck, Gina Carano. You may have thrown away a career in the biggest film/TV franchise of all time so you could post anti-vaxxer, anti-mask, conspiracy theory, election fraud, and anti-Semitic tweets, but at least you have Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire willing to help.
