Donald Trump ‘pushing Hollywood to resurrect anti-woke action comedy series’ | Films | Entertainment

One of Donald Trump’s biggest financial supporters is fellow billionaire Larry Ellison, whose son David is CEO of Paramount Skydance.

The Ellisons are within reach of acquiring Warner Bros and all its IP with it, including some of the president’s favourite movies.

According to Semafor, Trump wants to see a revival of the anti-woke action comedies of the 80s and 90s.

An insider revealed that the Commander-in-Chief has personally pressed the Ellisons to revive Brett Ratner’s Rush Hour series, starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.

It’s been 18 years since the last film in the franchise of buddy cop movies, full of slapstick, martial arts and racial stereotyping.

Film producer Dallas Sonnier told the outlet he predicts: “a wave of classically male-driven movies with mentally tough, traditional, courageous, confident heroes. Maybe even a tad cocky, but dedicated to honour and duty. Plus, of course, a few explosions, gun battles, helicopters, fistfights, and car chases!”

It sounds like the best of 80s Hollywood is coming back with the 80s businessman president.
