An attempt to make a right-wing superhero movie has ended in disaster, with $1 million missing in China and a participant facing a federal indictment.

“I wouldn’t count on us getting the money back,” Theodore Beale, a far-right blogger known as “Vox Day,” admitted to his fans and investors in a video last week.

This isn’t how Beale’s followers thought their investments would go in 2019, when they started contributing to fund a film based on a Confederacy-themed superhero comic book character created by Beale. A trailer promoting the proposed movie, Rebel’s Run, featured the character Rebel fighting a global police force hunting down freethinking conservatives.

Frequent Tucker Carlson collaborator Scooter Downey signed on to direct. Beale’s supporters rapidly blew past an initial $750,000 funding goal, ultimately raising more than $1 million.

That money was supposed to be held in escrow to secure several million more dollars in funding. Three years later, though, the cash is gone, and with it Beale’s hopes for a movie.

I'm honestly amazed it didn't crowdfund better. Not being sarcastic either although having worked on tv and film production sets, you can blow through a million dollars in no time. Should have made Trump the superhero. They needed something more contemporaneous to really entice the major grifting.

FYI, never crowdfund anything entertainment related, especially movies. 99% of them get stuck in development hell and just become sunk costs.

Imagine being too bat**** crazy for Fox and Newsmax.

You find us having like 20% of the world's incarcerated population despite yelling like a banshee about FREEDUMZ to be funny?

This is the guy who tells everyone how much he loves freedom.

Crime is up in red states where they have the ultimate say in law and order.

You be surprised how many republican campaign ads have blacks wilding in the street with the moderator droning on about out-of-control crime and who is responsible for it.

He’s just lucky no one would want to make him their wife.
