The CIA Really Wants to Make Hollywood’s Next Blockbuster, page

Found this article today, thought it was interesting and decided to share.

I personally kind of always thought they had links with the movie industry. The video at the bottom of the article I thought was quite amusing, if someone could embed it please.

It wouldn't be their first foray into motion pictures. They funded the 1954 film Animal Farm.

The animation historian Brian Sibley doubts that the team responsible was aware of the source of the funding, which is now accepted to have come from the Central Intelligence Agency, whose concern was to facilitate the creation of anti-communist art.[1] Halas and Batchelor were awarded the contract to make the feature in November 1951 and it was completed in April 1954. The production employed about 80 animators.[2]

Unfortunatetly, I think many people will believe these movies, and side with the CIA as being a positive and wonderful division of the U.S.
People will eat it up if it looks good, and the CIA knows this.
Psy-ops man, psy-ops.

The last three or four movies I have seen has either had CIA in it or mentioned in it. The Carl Weathers character in movie Predator was CIA "liason."

If given the choice I would rather see CIA jerks than British jerks. Bad to see John Hannibal Smith played by a British character actor, and the John Adams movie (for HBO) directed by a british director. What slant do you think he will have on the America cause. The supposedly "better" batman played by a Brit (Christian bale) it's like come on. I say the next Dr. Who should be played by an America, then we'd be even.

Nosy exam question asks 3rd graders to reveal a "secret". Parents outraged.
