Hollywood A-Listers’ Secret MAGA Movie Project Exposed
YouTube/ The Daily Wire MAGA-obsessed Ben Shapiro has written a movie, and A-list actors are lining up to help him make it.
The film, called Confession , is set to premiere on Oct.
15 at the Warsaw Film Festival, Deadline reported.
It follows a former professor imprisoned in Moscow in 1938 and under interrogation.
Rob Lowe, 62, stars as Alexei, the professor; James Franco, 48, plays Vladimir, Lowe’s military interrogator and former student.
The cast also includes Oscar nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh, Golden Globe winner Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Golden Globe winner Nick Nolte, Brad Dourif, Emile Hirsch, Richard Brake, and Dean Norris.
Lowe also serves as a producer, and Czech filmmaker Václav Marhoul directs.
Shapiro’s conservative production company and news site, Daily Wire , came under fire last week for producing the pro-ICE movie Pawn Shop .
The opening sequence of the film dramatizes ICE’s fatal Jan. shooting of Renée Good in Minnesota, taking the side of her killer.
Pawn Shop ’s production in Livingston, Montana, allegedly disrupted local businesses and the city’s only food bank.
Its team also allegedly neglected to notify neighbors before shooting dangerous stunts and hired armed security to protect the crew against protestors playing trombones in the streets.
The City Commission voted to temporarily shut down filming until the production received proper permitting.
The Confession stars’ involvement with Shapiro’s film is inconsistent with their politics, and many have spoken out against the MAGA movement.
Lowe, 62, hasn’t publicly supported President Donald Trump, 80, though he told Conan O’Brien in 2020 that conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a good friend.
