stars of apprentice They're running around spreading conspiracy theories about their speech being suppressed and their films being blacklisted.
apprentice is an independent film starring Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump and Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn. extreme left hollywood reporter I decided go to bat “The film shows how Cohn's bare-knuckled approach shaped the young Trump,” explains the plot.
However, hmm…
What's left out of that depiction is the fact that the film also depicts Trump raping his first wife, Ivana, who herself has since recanted and said that she would not be allowed to do so until her death in 2022. He said it never happened.
Can you say? Defamation?
I'm all for artistic freedom, but defamation is defamation, not artistic freedom.
something else THR Omitted is within 3 months. apprentice It was widely released in 1,740 theaters in Japan and became a huge hit, earning a small profit. 4 million dollars.
And yet, here are the stars crying about free speech.
“When it comes to artistry and creativity, we have to be able to protect free speech. It can't be selective free speech,” Sebastian Stan said. “There should be freedom of speech in all aspects. We cannot normalize what can and cannot be said.”
“People have been afraid of touching the film, of being seen as complicit with the film, of supporting the film, of publicly supporting the film, and of course of showing the film on streaming platforms.” said Jeremy Strong. “But the role of storytelling is to hold up a mirror. It's not about making people comfortable. It's not just about entertaining. It's about holding up a foot to the fire.”
He added: “I can't think of a more relevant subject matter to what we're all going through. It's been really hard not to be accepted by the industry.”
Isn't there freedom of speech? Not being accepted by the industry? The film cost $16 million to make. That means someone invested $16 million in your free speech. On top of that, apprentice It was widely released in 1,740 theaters in Japan. It was also released on Over 50 years old(!)foreign country.
this is real beauty THR There it is:
The truest comments about Trump these days come from someone no one is listening to. [Sebastian] Stan's “You can't normalize what you can and cannot talk about.”
But you talked about it. Great, you were talking about a $16 million budget. It became a hot topic at 1,740 movie theaters in Japan. You spoke about it in over 50 countries. It was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards. And now, THRPenske Media (also owns Deadline) variety, indie wire and rolling stone — hence the near monopoly of entertainment media) is talking about it.
apprentice $16 million budget (not including promotions), wide domestic release, worldwide release, great reviewand give affirmation.
So if you look, there's only one reason why everyone is crying. That said, no streaming service has offered to buy their speeches.
Well, there is no First Amendment right to make money from your speech. Not buying your speech will not get you censored or blacklisted. You have spoken in theaters around the world. A total of 238 critics have published reviews for your film, and this does not include all other media promotions. You had millions of dollars as your megaphone, and now you have big brother Penske beating the drum for you.
My guess is that streaming services are worried about Trump filing a defamation lawsuit. Look at what happened after ABC News and George Stephanopoulos falsely claimed Trump is a rapist.
apprentice It will have its say, and then some streaming platform may eventually pick it up. But there should be consequences for accusing a man of rape (especially when the “victim” himself says the rape never happened).
I am and have been fighting for unimpeded artistic freedom for artists of the right and left for many years. Defamation is indefensible.
