“It Might Take A Kevin Sorbo Film” Sorbo Muses On Making A Film About Trump, the Promise Keeper

No, you’re not reading The Onion. You don’t have to read The Onion, you can find much stranger things here, or in the pages of the New York Times, for that matter. This is the world we live in.

Actors play historical characters and presidents all the time. As much as I loathe Jon Voight, I give him credit for playing FDR very credibly in Pearl Harbor. James Woods, also a person I loathe, but a decent actor, played Rudy Giuliani and that is a picture you have to see for the unintended hilarity of it. It’s called Rudy: The Rudy Giuliani Story. Don’t watch it sober, you’ll regret it if you do.

And now into the valley of cinematic absurdity rides Kevin Sorbo. I thought he was strange when he starred in Andromeda, in his post-Hercules days. Sorbo had fallen off, shall we say, and looked more like somebody who should be sweeping up behind the camera rather than performing in front of it. He’s also an aficionado of Donald Trump and maybe he’ll play him in the movie.

Kevin Sorbo says he is thinking about making a movie about Trump’s life story. He says whenever he talks to liberal friends, he asks them “what were the policies of his that you didn’t like? And they can’t answer that question. And everything he said, he did.” pic.twitter.com/tbE9gEbYM0

“Everything he said, he did.” Really? Is there a wall on the Mexican border and can somebody show me a copy of the canceled check showing that Mexico paid for it? And I’m dying to know what happened with the “full repeal and replacement of Obamacare.” When did that happen? And what about “taking the oil from ISIS.” Was there an invasion and I missed it? I guess I’ll have to wait for the Kevin Sorbo movie to find out. My memory of Trump’s greatest “achievement” is killing 200,000 people with COVID. What I know about Trump’s policies is that they were made up on the spot, usually influenced by the last person he had just spoken to.

Sorbo is a “star” in the world of Christian cinema, which touts itself as “positive entertainment that will change a life.” One person’s positive entertainment is another person’s pap and drivel, but hey, they’re entitled. Christian Cinema is a niche, like porn, like snuff films, documentaries, political blogs, you name it. If that’s how he makes his daily bread, good for him.

So one can only assume that this epic about Donald Trump and starring Sorbo (may we presume in the title role?) is going to be a Christian themed movie as well. He has his own production company, Sorbo Studios, and his wife co-stars with him on some of these epics. Will she play Melania? Don’t ask me. Kevin Sorbo as Donald Trump is enough for me to try to wrap my head around for one day. It could be interesting. He could gain 80 pounds or wear a fat suit like John Travolta did in Hairspray. I actually hope he does it.
