The creation of Legacy Films comes at a time when Hollywood is often criticized for its heavy focus on woke themes and sacrificing good storytelling for political correctness. With viewers tired of preachy plots and forced diversity, Gibson and Wahlberg’s studio is seen as a hopeful sign for those who miss genuine movie-making.
In their announcement, Gibson stressed the importance of maintaining artistic freedom and resisting the push to conform. “Hollywood has lost its way in recent years, succumbing to the demands of political correctness and cultural conformity,” said Gibson. “With Legacy Films, we aim to reclaim the essence of cinema and celebrate the diversity of human experience without ideological constraints.”
Wahlberg also shared his excitement about focusing on storytelling rather than conforming to social trends. “We’re not interested in preaching or pandering to the latest social trends,” said Wahlberg. “Legacy Films will be a sanctuary for filmmakers and audiences who value authenticity and creativity above all else.”
