In a statement about the new venture, Gibson commented, “This isn’t about pushing back against progress, but about making movies that can be enjoyed by everyone — not just the gatekeepers of what is deemed acceptable by today’s standards. We want to make films that tell the kind of stories we grew up on, the kind of films that made us fall in love with the industry in the first place.”
Industry Reactions: Support and Criticism
The announcement of the new studio has predictably sparked a whirlwind of reactions, both positive and negative. Supporters of the move see it as a refreshing change in a Hollywood landscape they feel has become overly politicized. Conservative commentators and audiences who have long felt alienated by mainstream cinema view this as an exciting opportunity to see films that align more closely with their values.
Political pundit Candace Owens, who has been vocal in her criticism of Hollywood’s direction, tweeted her support for the venture, calling it “a much-needed breath of fresh air in an industry obsessed with virtue signaling.” Similarly, actor James Woods, another outspoken critic of Hollywood’s progressive leanings, praised the trio, stating, “These are the kind of men who built Hollywood. It’s about time someone stands up and makes movies for the people who just want to be entertained.
