The ‘Untouchables’ of Hollywood just went corporate. In a 2026 industry move that has the ‘Big Five’ studios in a state of absolute panic, Roseanne Barr, Mark Wahlberg, and Mel Gibson have reportedly pooled their combined billions to launch Non-Woke Productions. This isn’t just a studio; it’s an ‘ideological fortress’ designed to bypass every gatekeeper in the business. We’ve uncovered the ‘first-look’ slate of projects that were reportedly deemed ‘too dangerous’ for mainstream theaters.
From a secret historical epic to a sitcom that breaks every modern rule, find out why this trio is calling it the ‘End of the Correctness Era.’
In the cutthroat world of Hollywood, where corporate consolidation and ideological conformity have long dominated the landscape, a seismic shift is underway. Sources close to the project confirm that **Roseanne Barr**, **Mark Wahlberg**, and Mel Gibson —three of the industry’s most polarizing yet bankable figures—have quietly formed **Non-Woke Productions** (NWP), a fully independent studio backed by their personal fortunes estimated in the hundreds of millions to billions combined. Launched in early 2026, NWP positions itself as an “ideological fortress,” free from the influence of major studios, streaming giants, and what the founders call “the correctness cartel.”
The announcement, teased through cryptic social media posts and insider leaks, has sent shockwaves through the Big Five (Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, Paramount, Sony). Executives reportedly fear a talent exodus and audience fragmentation, as NWP promises to greenlight stories that mainstream outlets have repeatedly shelved for being “problematic.” Barr, Wahlberg, and Gibson—each with a history of clashing with Hollywood’s dominant cultural currents—frame the venture as the “End of the Correctness Era.” In a joint statement obtained by our publication, they declared: “For too long, creativity has been held hostage by gatekeepers who prioritize ideology over entertainment.
We’re building a home for bold storytelling, unfiltered truth, and audiences tired of sanitized content.”
Financially, the trio is formidable. Gibson’s directing and producing empire (post-*Passion of the Christ* success and recent hits like *Hacksaw Ridge*) provides production muscle. Wahlberg’s track record with faith-based and action films through Unrealistic Ideas and his partnerships (including *Father Stu* with Gibson) adds commercial savvy. Barr, leveraging her enduring fanbase from the revived *Roseanne* and stand-up resurgence, brings cultural cachet among overlooked demographics. Insiders estimate initial funding exceeds $500 million, with potential for more through private investors disillusioned with “woke” Hollywood.
The real bombshell lies in NWP’s first-look slate—projects reportedly pitched to major studios and rejected or “soft-passed” for risking backlash. Our investigation has uncovered details on several high-profile titles set to bypass traditional distribution:
1. The Untold Siege — A sweeping historical epic directed by Gibson, focusing on the 1683 Battle of Vienna. The film portrays the Ottoman siege through a lens emphasizing Christian unity and European cultural preservation, with themes of faith, sacrifice, and resistance to invasion. Sources say major studios balked at its “unapologetic” depiction of religious conflict and lack of modern diversity mandates in casting historical figures. Budgeted at $150 million, it’s positioned as Gibson’s spiritual successor to The Passion , with international co-financing already secured.
2. Family Unfiltered — A multi-camera sitcom starring Barr as a no-nonsense matriarch in a working-class household that refuses to conform to contemporary sensitivities. The show features intergenerational clashes over gender roles, free speech, and cultural shifts, with punchlines that mock political correctness, cancel culture, and identity politics. Described as “the *Roseanne* reboot that never was,” it includes guest spots from controversial comedians and aims for a broadcast or direct-to-consumer model. Rejected by networks for “tone-deaf” humor, it’s now NWP’s flagship comedy.
3. Redemption Road — Wahlberg’s passion project, a gritty redemption drama about a former convict rebuilding his life amid societal judgment. The script explores themes of personal responsibility, faith, second chances, and critiques of progressive criminal justice reforms. Early versions were deemed “insensitive” to marginalized communities by studio notes; NWP plans a theatrical run emphasizing Wahlberg’s box-office draw.
4. Shadow Games — An action-thriller hybrid blending espionage and cultural commentary, starring a rotating ensemble. Plot details remain tight, but leaks suggest it tackles media manipulation, deep-state conspiracies, and the weaponization of “woke” narratives in modern politics. Gibson directs select sequences, with Wahlberg in a lead role.
These projects share a common thread: uncompromised storytelling that prioritizes narrative over agenda. NWP plans a hybrid release strategy—select theatrical partnerships, direct streaming via a forthcoming platform, and international sales to avoid U.S.-centric gatekeepers.
The backlash has been swift. Progressive outlets decry NWP as a “regressive enclave,” while conservative commentators hail it as Hollywood’s long-overdue rebellion. Industry analysts predict it could mirror the success of faith-based studios like Pure Flix or Angel Studios’ *Sound of Freedom*, but on a grander scale. With streaming fatigue and box-office slumps plaguing majors, NWP’s outsider status might attract audiences craving authenticity.
Barr, Wahlberg, and Gibson aren’t naive. They’ve assembled a team of veteran producers, writers, and executives who’ve felt sidelined in recent years. Distribution deals are in negotiation, with rumors of alliances with emerging platforms or even blockchain-based models for fan-funded content.
As 2026 unfolds, Non-Woke Productions stands as a direct challenge to the status quo. Whether it succeeds or flames out, it signals a fracturing industry where independent voices—with deep pockets and defiant spirits—can rewrite the rules. The “Untouchables” have gone corporate, and Hollywood’s panic is just beginning.
