Ben,

I've been looking into your question and trying to tie in what your question is about. I'd like for you to explain something to me. What is the source of your question so I may look into what you are talking about? I have ran cross references and came with with conservative actors who are taking stands, but not sure about the writers or directors. Not to say there are none, but what have you heard?

Cheers B)

Sure Hondo,
Right after Mel Gibson's successful release of "The Passion", there was talk in the media of Mel possibly getting together with a group of conservative director's, writer's and distributer's to put together a new motion picture company, / or group of companies, to rival Hollywood. They wanted to return to the Hollywood of old, without the liberal's whom have taken over the Hollywood of today, and start producing movies with conservative values and focus on good writing and acting rather than fluff and soft porn in mind numbing performances for quick sales of box office tickets.

This was over nine months ago. Of course the main stream media wont talk about it any more than they have too. (My guess is that we'll have to drag them kicking and screaming into covering the emergance of such an industry.) Sorry, I don't know much more than that. - Ben

"Someone said that there was a new group of Conservative Director's, Writer's and such being formed after the Mel Gibson success of the Passion. What ever became of it? Who can we call upon to fill the void? "

Thanks for all the comments so far. Very interesting. I still, am looking for an answer to my question (Listed above) though. Thanks. - Ben

Just when I thought that perhaps Hollywood had ran its course of reality shows and perhaps was going to turn to writers for some real entertainment again, I saw the upcoming movie thriller being advertised for "Aftershock". Dear God, have we hit the bottom of the barrel for story ideas?? We couldn't have! But then came the add for the new "Ripley's Believe it or not" hosted by Dean Caine. ....We've now gone from reality shows to officially rolling out the freak show! (Carnivals used to have these shows. The Bearded Lady and such.) This is so sad.

Oh, for the days of John Wayne and company and the likes of DesiLou Studios or writers like Rod Serling. Not necessarily CGI woven movies leaned on heavily for the entertainment portion, but good stories and story telling. We've gone from artful performances to pure flash , glitz and soft porn for family entertainment with high profits as the main goal.

Someone said that there was a new group of Conservative Director's, Writer's and such being formed after the Mel Gibson success of the Passion. What ever became of it? Who can we call upon to fill the void?

I Look forward to your thoughts. - Ben
