And you're going to go like, okay, because I'm putting you in a movie. Okay. Because talking about what you just said about how people are different here, I just started a... A new label. Like the label I gave myself, I'm an athlete. When you create a label, it's a business thing too. What a label is, is a filter. So I'm doing an action slate.
So that already you get a bunch of ideas because it's just action. An action slate of four pictures. It's called Brass Knuckle Films. And you're going to be in the first one because I'm going to direct the first one. I've already got which one it is. I'll show you. It's a great part for you. You're going to come to the studio and I'll tell you about it.
But Breast Knuckle Films is cool because it's the first time that it's an investable. Film Slate. So fans can invest in a movie. They get perks and stuff, but it's not crowdsourcing or crowdfunding. Like you can get killed in the movie if you put in a certain amount of investment. But what's cool about it, I just want the audience to win because audience is an afterthought.
Like you say, you go to the studios and the people in Hollywood and you go, they barely even watch movies. And then you come meet the real audience and they're so into it. They're so...
behind it's like where's your cut of it studios only show up to an audience at the end when they want you to go get your friends to come spend money on their overpriced movies so i'm going to do this thing where even at 250 a lowest level you put into this thing any of the four movies one of which i'm going to direct for sure producing all of them they're troublemaker to keep the cost down so they go to profit sooner any one of these movies success you you share in that success all the way through sequels
And for even the $250, anyone who puts money in, you get to have that proximity effect because we have a whole group together.
And everybody gets to pitch their action movie idea. And I'm committed to making at least one of the movies on the slate from a fan investor's idea. So not only will you be...
an investor but you'd be a creator so we're almost already topped out we're we're gonna hit our we still have 20 days left and it's going to surge again we're going to raise like 1.5 million development funds and we're yeah we're almost at a million already 22 days left so i'm telling everybody who's listening come in at the lowest level just be part of our community because
People who come here get proximity.
$250. But, you know, you make that back on success of any of the movies. That's awesome. And it just hedges your bets. And it's just action because there's always an appetite for action. Like if you ask Netflix right now what kind of movies do they need, they'll say action, action, action. We don't have enough action.
And internationally, so we're going to make the thing that people always buy, and they're also really fun to make, and you're going to be perfect in it.
And it's right up your alley. Yes. It's about... The barbarian is actually the one who's got code.
And who has morality.
And all the bigwigs are the ones that are like fucking crooked and shit.
It's just so classic. And the barbarians. That guy was from Texas. The guy, Robert E. Howard from Texas. Outside of Dallas. Back where I have a house where I made all these movies. It's in the land that he looked over and saw and said, that's Samaria. That's where Conan's from. So I always felt this connection. I wanted to do Conan. So I almost did a Conan movie.
I even wrote Jim Cameron into wanting to do it.
We were going to do kind of like what we did with Alita. I said, dude, let's do a Conan movie and we'll make it look like the paintings. Technology wasn't there yet. And I ended up doing Sin City instead. I had already written – it was going to be three movies. So he does different occupations.
It's kind of built like a James Bond series, you know, where you follow him on his different – so it starts with him as a thief. And the second movie is him as a buccaneer mercenary. Okay. And the third one is when he becomes king. So the actor can grow with the role. You know, like you took Daniel Craig and started him in Casino Royale, and by the end, he's no time to die.
You got to get an actor who does the whole journey. So I had a whole trilogy marked out. Let's go, dude. I know. Let's go. Netflix had it. I went and pitched it to them, and they let the rights lapse. Sometimes it's too much baggage for a character.
It's probably a painting called Chains. Is that the one with the chains?
