Weaklings, beware: Steve Bannon is reportedly headed to Hollywood to hatch his latest plan — Western movies.
Since his departure from the White House last month, Bannon has returned to his old stomping grounds: Breitbart and movie-making.
Prior to his involvement in D.C., he produced dozens of films. Some of the films were political, others were crime and action thrillers.
But now he’s much more interested in producing Western films, Page Six reports. Which makes sense, given his rugged individualism and rogue street-fighter persona. And he’s been met with some enthusiasm about the idea. Hollywood bigwigs have reportedly been willing to hear him out and field his pitches.
Given Bannon’s gross unpopularity among the Hollywood elite, I can only imagine they’re willing to listen because the guy actually has some good ideas.
Personally, I’m here for it. 2017 needs more Tarantinos and Eastwoods. We’ve grown way too soft, clinging to our iPhone X and trophies for participation. John Wayne would be so disappointed if he came back and saw major universities canceling class because students are offended about sharing their campus with men of opposing ideals.
It’s time Hollywood gets a run for its money. And Steve Bannon making Westerns is one way to do it. The guy hasn’t even made a movie yet and George Clooney is already terrified, hiding behind his over-inflated ego:
If he’d somehow managed miraculously to get that thing produced, he’d still be in Hollywood, still making movies and licking my a** to get me to do one of his stupid-a** screenplays. … Steve Bannon is a little wannabe writer who would do anything in the world to have had a script made in Hollywood.”
Something tells me George Clooney wouldn’t last a scene in a Bannon Western. Cue the music.
