The article is delusional balderdash. There will never be conservative movies coming out of Hollywood. The industry mindset is monolithic leftism. The studios control distribution. And wealthy conservatives do not spend money to make movies.

While I agree with your assessment of the Hollywood mindset, the article is suggesting that this mindset/industry is in a state of panic. Panic caused by the recognition of capitalism.

I explored this idea about two months ago in my vanity post:

Good News, a trend has begun that will transform our media and in turn our culture.

The culture warriors on the right are positioning themselves in areas that were unheard of just 5 or 10 years ago. The tipping point is like picking a top or bottom in the Stock Market, something I would like to avoid, however I can assure you the trend has begun and will feed on itself as the new reality sets in.

Unfortunately they did....American Carol the worst movie I have watched in my life!!!! No wonder people refuse to make conservative movies with crap like that. I found it hilarious how many FREEPERS thought it was so great. It was junk at best! Now of course most FREEPERS will say it sucked but when it was released, they thought it was an Oscar Winner. UGH!!!

Indeed. I always crack up when they boo-hoo the "Blacklist Era" when they employ their own, far more vicious one against conservative actors, writers, et al.

There's two books, that if made into movies, would rival "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with the American audience:
1) "Under the Red Sea Sun" by Cmdr. Edward Ellsberg. The guy inherits a totally trashed Italian Naval base in Eritrea in 1942. With no help from Washington and just a few Americans and local labor, he:
a) Raises a 600' long Italian dry dock in nine days when all the "experts" claim it will take dozens of divers and hundreds of mechanic six months.
b) Rehabilitates over seven wrecked large machine shops and in 30 days is producing more than the Italians did.
c) Using a Capitalist approach, gets "worthless" native labor working at top speed in scraping bottoms and re-painting the Tobruk supply ships, turning them over in 1 1/2 days.
d) Raises a floating dry dock, ruined by an inept British salvager, in a few days, using gasoline tanks from an abandoned airfield as pontoons.
e) Figures out how to repair three priceless 600' feet long British light cruisers in a 400' long dry dock.
Doing all this and more to a constant chorus of "It can't be done."

2) "On the Bottom". The raising of the sunken sub S-51.

Outstanding examples the American Can Do "shade tree mechanic" attitude.

See Edward Ellsberg.
