Breitbart wants a piece of The Daily Wire’s movie action. Daily Mail broke the news that a teaser for the conservative news outlet’s upcoming film My Son Hunter was released today. My Son Hunter is a dramatization/satire – as near as I can tell – revolving around the Hunter Biden laptop, which features many scandalous and criminal activities involving Joe Biden’s son. Directed by Robert Davi of Die Hard, Licence to Kill, Profiler, and the underrated Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Raw Deal (Arnold fights the Mafia while playing “Satisfaction” by the Rolling Stones; what kind of American doesn’t love that?), My Son Hunter stars British actor Laurence Fox as Hunter Biden, Dynasty’s John James as Joe Biden, and our friend Gina Carano as a Secret Service agent who narrates the story. A full trailer will arrive on August 26, and the film will be available to stream or download on September 7, though you can pre-order it now on the official website. Check out the My Son Hunter teaser below:

This is the first I’ve heard of My Son Hunter, although that appears to be more on me than anything else. (Blabs thought it was funny that I didn’t know about it until she showed me the story today.) The aim of this movie is clear: to get the suppressed Hunter Biden laptop into the public discourse. Making the film a satire – or enough of a satire to qualify as part of the genre – is a good idea and likely a defense mechanism against those who will undoubtedly try to stop its release. According to Daily Mail, the opening line is Gina Carano saying, “This is not a true story, except for all the facts,” which reminds me of the disclaimer at the beginning of Anchorman. Outside of Davi and Carano, I don’t know much about the people involved – my dad used to watch Dynasty, but it was a little before my time – but the laptop story is so ridiculous that it’s ripe for satire, and considering how the actual event was treated in the news, one good turn deserves another.
Will you watch My Son Hunter? Does Breitbart’s involvement in moviemaking signal a snowball effect from The Daily Wire’s productions? Are the people behind this movie laughing themselves silly that Sam Harris just gave them the biggest piece of free publicity and legitimization they could have possibly gotten? Let us know in the comments, and stick around Geeks + Gamers for more on the emerging counter to Hollywood!
I doubt I will watch this movie, but it does sound like a funny take and an entertaining way to get this information out. Unfortunately, the only people that will likely watch it are those who are already aware of the Laptop scandal. No one on the left, or involved with the Democrat left, will give this movie a second thought besides trashing it on blogs and reviews without ever seeing it.
