With acting credits under her belt in a number of action films ranging from Deadpool to an installment in the Fast & Furious franchise, Carano is poised to appeal to that audience. Shapiro has also said that The Daily Wire wants to make films that will appeal to younger audiences by not shying away from violence. “And they’re mostly conservatives and some moderates and things like that, and I think it’s such an awesome opportunity to start sharing movies with them again and making movies for that audience.” They have to reorder the DVDs - the DVDs! It’s like you wonder who are the people watching NCIS every week, and it’s my aunts and uncles and cousins in Shreveport, Louisiana - real salt of the earth, great people who I love sharing Thanksgiving with,” said Sonnier.

Sonnier recalled to Shapiro that after Run Hide Fight had been completed, “The response to the movie from the critical community, which was so perverted, and the ultimate challenges in selling the movie to a traditional Hollywood distributor, opened the door for me to contact you again and say, literally, ‘I think you should come on board this movie and distribute it.’ And then the rest is history.” I’m going to shelter the movie and we’re going to make it in my system with independent money so that I can make it totally unperverted.’”Īs the project came together, Bonfire Legend found a decommissioned middle school in Red Oak, just south of Dallas, that served as the ideal filming location.

They can’t cancel us if we don’t let them,” she added. 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. “I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob. I cried out and my prayer was answered,” said Carano. “The Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams - to develop and produce my own film - come true. In an announcement, The Daily Wire said that Carano would “develop, produce, and star” in a new film that the company will “release exclusively to its members as the company continues to bolster its entertainment division.”
