California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) met privately Thursday afternoon with President Donald Trump’s “ambassador” to Hollywood, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, to discuss ideas for saving the film industry. Hollywood has been losing jobs due to high costs, damaging union strikes, artificial intelligence, and the tax incentives offered by competing film locations elsewhere, such as Vancouver, Atlanta, and overseas sites. Newsom is an implacable opponent of President Trump, but evidently is willing to work with him to save one of California’s most important industries — and the source of many of his own political donations. Politico reports: The pair met privately...

Jon Voight has been taking meetings around town with union reps and studio executives to understand the issues plaguing domestic production, Deadline has confirmed... We understand that Trump’s other two ambassador picks, Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson, are not involved in Voight’s conversations... The exact plan that Coming Home Oscar winner Voight, whose daughter is Angelina Jolie, has prepared for Trump is unclear, but sources with knowledge of his conversations with Hollywood insiders tell us they expect a federal tax incentive to be the main component. As the lack of production in L.A. displays, the U.S. film and television industry...

“I am trying to think of how much I'm going to share right now,” began Jolie when asked what it meant to win her Best Supporting Actress Academy Award in 2000 for Girl, Interrupted. She then remembered tuning into the 1979 Academy Awards the year her father, Jon Voight, won Best Actor for Coming Home. Voight separated from Marcheline Bertrand, mother to Jolie and her brother James Haven, in 1976; their divorce was finalized in 1980. “My mom was home with two little kids,” Jolie explained... “My mom's dream was to be an actor. I believe my mother's mother's dream...

No, this is not the cast of “Expendables 5.” President-elect Donald Trump tapped three long-time supporters — actors Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Jon Voight — as “Special Ambassadors to Hollywood” Thursday, ostensibly to help boost business in “troubled” Tinseltown. “[They’ll be] Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California,” the 78-year-old Trump wrote on Truth Social. “They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!” The stars’ actual duties weren’t immediately...

Jon Voight has been a Donald Trump supporter and defender through all of it. With prayer-filled clarity, Voight’s voice has been steadfast.Within the silent pause toward the end of this message, the tears flow:

Is anyone surprised that the critics have absolutely savaged the new film, Reagan? I'm not. As a teenager in the 1980s, I came of age during the era when the likes of Dan Rather, Sam Donaldson, and Connie Chung savaged President Reagan on TV every single night. It was then at the pre-dawn of my political awareness that I started asking myself why such a folksy, likeable, patriotic American president like Ronald Reagan was so hated by seemingly everyone on the nightly news. Why did these talking heads despise him so much, while the actual human beings in my life—my...

The Soviets were terrified of Ronald Reagan, and rightly so, actor Jon Voight told Newsmax on Monday. Voight played the role of Russian spy Viktor Petrovich in "Reagan," a biopic about the late president, which came out Friday. He and the film's director, Sean McNamara, spoke to "Carl Higbie FRONTLINE" about the making of the movie and the 40th president's legacy. Voight said the spies assigned to keep tabs on Reagan "kept giving reports back that this guy was standing up against communism, saying an awful lot of things that were concerning to them. "And then he became a political...

On Friday, I did something I hadn’t done since before COVID-19, I went and saw a movie premiere on the day it opened in an actual movie theater. With my childhood friend Susan, whom I’ve known for more than five decades—a dyed-in-the-wool conservative just like me—we went and saw Reagan. And unlike most critics on Rotten Tomatoes who rated it at 18% and elsewhere, we loved it along with a virtually unprecedented 98% of Rotten Tomato viewers.Right up front, I can say that Reagan is not without flaws. The cinematography in much of the movie is quite dark, especially in...

The large cast includes Penelope Ann Miller as Nancy Reagan and Mena Suvari as Ronald Reagan’s first wife, the Oscar-winning Hollywood star Jane Wyman. Oscar-winner Jon Voight plays a former Soviet KGB agent whose telling...

The movie has set an August 30 opening under a partnership with new distributor Showbiz Direct, according to a Deadline report. Showbiz Direct is headed by Kevin Mitchell as well as former Lionsgate distribution president Richie Fay and the former co-president of distributor Open Road, Scott Kennedy.

Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight blasted the “Democrat fools” whom he says are lying about Donald Trump in the wake of the FBI raid on his Florida Mar-a-Lago home.In a video posted to social media, the longtime Trump supporter slammed those who support the raid on the ex-president’s home and office as “evil ones” trying to destroy Trump.“This is now a cruel world. It’s of intention. He should be charged for what? For being straight forward? For allowing all to understand the meaning of America, land of the free? Is this a medieval time, a time when being wrongly condemned...

Mark Levin interviews Jon Voight about Jon's #walkaway from Hollywood progressivism to conservatism and Jon's decision to support Donald Trump early on. Later on, Jon goes deeper into why Donald Trump is the right person to bring back the God-inspired principles of our nation's founding.
