Sean bailing out the Democrats again.

Sean Penn will direct a new film about the January 6 riot set to star Bradley Cooper.
According to Deadline, the star, who recently won his third Oscar, will bring what’s been described as a “passion project” to the screen and act as both writer and director.
The as-yet-untitled drama will follow the life of a police officer who gets mixed up in the violent insurrection of 2021. Cooper is reportedly in talks to play him.
The film has also been referred to as an “unexpected story about friendship” that will be made in collaboration with the real-life subject whose identity is being kept hidden for now.
Penn attended a January 6 House committee hearing in 2022, describing himself as “just another citizen” who was there to observe.
“I think we all saw what happened on January 6, and now we’re looking to see if justice comes on the other side of it,” he said.
Penn has also previously referred to Donald Trump as “an enemy of mankind” and a “narcissist”.

ROTFL! Sean Has Been. He’s an idiot. Hopefully the J6 protesters will sue his family jewels off.
I wonder who is going to play R@y Epp$?
I didn’t read the comments before I posted.
Hopefully, Penn will answer the two burning question about the J6 event. Who pulled security and took down the baricade? Who opened the Capitol building doors from the inside?
If he really wants it to be authentic he should just hire the same people who were hired that day. Could even use the same props that were set out ahead of time.
I wish I could remember the name of the guy who was a producer and showed the actors going into and out of character, the props set up, etc. Anybody remember who made a video of the footage showing that stuff?
Thought he was going to leave the country.
the key points of the movie:
“follow the weapons”
“the more they share weapons, the more of them are guilty”
It’s an obvious question, but TOTALLY overlooked by the LSM...
[No surprise there...]
Sean bailing out the Democrats again.
We need a studio to do a corresponding flick highlighting Nancy Pelosi having her daughter there to document, Ray Epps, all the FBI in the crowd inciting, etc.
Don’t forget the drain plug.
Your biggest mistake was to respect anyone involved with today’s Hollywood.
Sean Penn the Sailor Boy. In charge of drain plugs on dinghies everywhere. ROTFL! What a moron.
“””””Looks like thd movie will be a chance for the Deep State (false) narrative to be spread and sealed.”””””
Yep, the visual historical record for J6, suitable for classrooms and homework assignments for decades to come and for reruns when needed, more branding.
Another flop.
“Penn has also previously referred to Donald Trump as “an enemy of mankind” and a “narcissist”. In other words, Sean doesn’t like Trump very much, but he’s going to make a movie about him.
I knew nothing good could come of Bradley Cooper’s relationship with “palestinian” leftist model Gigi Hadid - 20 years his junior - and so it hasn’t.
I know what they can call it. “ Box Office Poison”.
Seems to me that Penn loved the Dictators in North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. more than the elected US Presidents.
