Recent trends in film might make more sense now. Though, this has been going on for a long time.
quote:

With Hollywood strapped for cash, Saudi Arabia is re-emerging as a key financial backer

Hollywood is feeling the lure of Saudi Arabian money.

The stars are taking it, with many set to receive checks for attending this week’s Red Sea Film Festival. Studios are interested in it, with their executives traveling to the kingdom to meet about potential deals. And at the highest levels, Saudi money could end up helping to finance a massive media merger.

For the entertainment industry, Saudi financing has become more appealing as other sources of money have dried up in the aftermath of the 2020 Covid pandemic, the 2023 dual actors’ and writers’ strikes, and shifting audience habits away from film and TV to social media.

“Money is good, that’s Hollywood’s perspective,” said entertainment attorney Schuylar (Sky) Moore at Greenberg Glusker.

I guess films will stop promoting women as a result.

The Saudis love shite like Rambo and other 80s hyper masculine action flicks. If they bankroll and distribute these types of projects, then that's a shite load better than the alternative or tech Bros and China....

Disagree. They and China are equally guilty of promoting anti-western shite.

yup, according to Trump's fatass.

And if all this is true, what's with all the gay propaganda in Hollywood? The Saudis behead gays.

I remember that. And Project Veritas also busted Saidis trying to buy propaganda influence in a movie.

And of course, South Park has spoofed the Chinese involvement.

Well, I think you can go back farther, with the SW prequels An elected Queen? The big bad was the curiously super Japanese sounding 'trade federation' with the blocking of trade being the worst thing you can do.

They may have even paid him to 'update' the OT, putting in goofy shite to cheese them up and rub Americans the wrong way. Corny/goofy shite is a hallmark of Chinese entertainment influence.

there was some group that posed as Arab investors and videotaped a meeting w/Ed Begley Jr & Mariel Hemingway trying to set up a movie about climate change.

This video was once on YT, but it has disappeared

Yeah, that one. It's still there. IIRC, one of the movies they got into was that goofy zombie movie The Dead Don't Die. If you remember, the thing that was said to have caused the zombie apocalypse was 'fracking.'
