Kevin Sorbo claims Hollywood is shifting its values after growing sick of losing money on 'woke' films.
The self-proclaimed 'first cancel culture victim' revealed that studios are now reaching out to him, after years of being rejected over his conservative Christian values.
The actor, 66, rose to international fame as the Greek demigod Hercules in the hit show 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,' which ran for six seasons from 1995 to 1999.
Sorbo said that he sees a shift happening within the movie industry under president Donald Trump, in a new interview with Fox News Digital.
'I think people are tired of it, and Hollywood's tired of losing money, like they're going to lose another $300 million on this woke Disney movie with "Snow White."'
'I think the American people are fed up, and I think they showed it in the last election as well. They said enough is enough of this stuff.'

Then why is Hollyweird waging war on the internet’s small content creators, hmmmm?
I pay more attention to what Hollyweird does, not what it says.
And Hollyweird’s war on the First Amendment speaks volumes.
Hollywood passed peak woke several years ago. There is a time lag on viewable results because of the often protracted production pipeline.
It’s also true that personnel are policy. When the streaming bubble was forming, the big players bought out most of the legacy studios to get control of their catalogues of older movies. The streamers also started throwing money by the billions into “content,” because the big streamers are global platforms with an insatiable 24/7/365 demand for “content.” Their standards, not high to begin with, went out the window because they were desperate to flood the zone with something new each month for each market segment of their couch potato audience. They went on hiring binges for people on both sides of the camera — and this happened during peak woke, so they hired a lot of people for the wrong reasons.
A correction will require firing a LOT of people — and by and large, the CEOs and corporate boards haven’t turned over. The guilty parties have to undo their own mistakes. Some will, at different rates. Some won’t.
The Skydance-Paramount deal is worth keeping an eye on. Paramount wasn’t one of the worst offenders to begin with — the worst would probably be Disney — and David Ellison is coming in as an outsider who has a free hand to clean house in a big way. If he’s smart, he will. Don’t draw it out. Identify the saving remnant, purge the rest, and rebuild.
They will just be more subtle with the wokeness.
See my reply #24.
There’s nothing subtle about that.
Consumers are refusing Hollyweird's cr@p sandwiches.
And Hollyweird doesn't like that.
I hate comic book movies and what is with this Minecraft nonsense as a movie?
Hollywood cranks out truly stupid and boring material.
I don’t watch comic book movies and I don’t watch animated movies. So there really hasn’t been much released by Hollywood that I’ve deemed worth watching in the last 10 years.
Whenever a fine actor makes a terrible movie, I’m reminded of Michael Caine, after he was in Jaws 3 or 4 or whatever that atrocity was called. Taken to task for making such an awful movie, he smiled and said “Yes, but you ought to see the beautiful house it paid for.”
“Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made.”
Yoghurt
I think a lot of Hollywood projects lose money on purpose because they are scams like “Springtime for Hitler” in The Producers. You launder money.
I see this in bad oil deals, too. Bush Jr’s smelly Arbusto oil deal, for example.
One might consider too that the whole Epstein push is cover and misdirection away from all the hollyweird actors attending Diddy freak-offs.
I hope they make billions while hollywood goes broke wondering why. Will hollyweird accuse the Sorbos of “spreading hate” by not being woke? Of will the light dawn on h9l,yweird that the public is sick and tired of the woke crap?
I tried to watch a Dr strange movie awhile back- didn’t make it very far before the faggotry began- had to turn it off. Disgusting movie.
Hollywood is dominated by faggots and pedophiles and other sorts of perverts.
Well, now.
It seems that hollyweird finally figured out that they can’t subsist as elitists on messaging, tax write-offs & subsidies.
i.e., it’s not about the message, but money.
(I did write ‘seems’...)
“God bless Kevin Sorbo.”
And his wife, Sam, who’s a major player in the homeschool movement.
Hollywood is Perfect at making a product people DO NOT WANT
Amen.
The removal of the Hays Code and replacing it with a joke of a ratings system (GMRX was the first) did more to destroy movies as the movie makers, claiming it was to reign in”violence” actually unleashed a flood of the worst vile movies ever made as they rushed to gain the then “R” and “X” ratings.
