The countdown is on and the wait is almost over. Daily Wire Entertainment’s newest project, “The Hyperions,” will be available for audiences beginning Thursday, March 10. That’s good news for anyone who misses quality entertainment the way it used to be.
“The Hyperions” is a fun, quirky indie comedy that defies expectations by telling a quietly heartfelt story on the power of familial bonds. It’s immersed in 1970s nostalgia and quality acting, but the most exciting thing about this movie is the complete lack of a political agenda. The movie tells a good story that’s meant to entertain with zero ulterior motives. It’s a Hollywood movie that recalls how things used to be. 
The comedy stars A-lister Cary Elwes (“The Princess Bride,” “Robin Hood Men in Tights”) as Professor Ruckus Mandulbaum. The professor invented the Titan badge device in 1960 that turned a trio of teens into adored heroes. That’s when things went awry.
According to the press release, “The quartet soon became a global phenomenon. Over time, though, the group had a falling-out and Professor Ruckus replaced the three original Hyperions with a cadre of new teens. By 1979, two of the Hyperions wanted their Titan badges back and went through great lengths to recover them, including robbing the professor’s museum and inadvertently taking a few hostages along the way.”

“The Hyperions” doesn’t attempt to compete with big-budget Marvel blockbusters with millions to spend on special effects. Instead, “Hyperions” focuses big on character development all under the skilled direction of Jon McDonald, who appears in the movie. 
“The key theme of the film is the importance of family, no matter how imperfect that dynamic might be,” reviewer Slade Hale <a href="https://boundingintocomics.com/2022/03/08/the-hyperions-review-a-superhero-dramedy-with-unbelievable-heart/">writes</a>, noting the film’s nuanced storytelling. 
Besides Elwes and McDonald, the all-star cast includes Penelope Mitchell (“Hellboy”), Tanner Buchanan (“Cobra Kai”), Elaine Tan (“Tully”), and Alphonso McAuley (“Walk of Shame”). Each offers a unique element that contributes to the overall narrative, which focuses on the importance of family and forgiveness. 
“The Hyperions” is completely different from Daily Wire Entertainment’s most recent thriller, “Shut In,” and neither of those are similar to the first film released, “Run Hide Fight.” It’s also not like the Western drama “Terror on the Prairie” starring Gina Carano, which is coming this summer. Each is special and impactful in its own way.
“The Hyperions” will premiere for everyone to enjoy on Thursday, March 10, 2022, at 8:30 p.m. ET on the Daily Wire <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaeO5vkdj5xOQHp4UmIN6dw">YouTube channel</a>. After the premiere, it will be available exclusively for Daily Wire members to stream on DailyWire.com.

Quirky Comedy ‘The Hyperions’ Premieres Thursday: Here’s How To Watch

The Daily Wire

There was no way “The Hyperions” was going to compete with big-budget blockbusters being peddled by Marvel, so they didn’t try. This quirky superhero movie takes a different approach by replacing massive explosions and ultra-choreographed fight scenes with deep dives into character development. It’s impossible not to fall in love with these characters as they’re making you laugh and smile in recognition.
An early review of The Daily Wire’s latest entertainment offering proves that not all movies need splashy CGI to be compelling. Bounding Into Comics reviewer Slade Hale discussed how the satirical superhero flick manages to recall everything fans used to love about superhero movies with zero hidden political agenda. “The Hyperions” is enjoyable because it’s not trying too hard to be something it’s not. 
“‘The Hyperions’ boasts some of the best cinematography and pacing in recent memory,” Hale <a href="https://boundingintocomics.com/2022/03/08/the-hyperions-review-a-superhero-dramedy-with-unbelievable-heart/">writes</a>, noting the film’s obsessive attention to detail and making the 1970s nostalgia feel realistic. Again, there won’t be any insane special effects, but instead there is beauty in the subtlety. Director Jon McDonald instead highlights character motivations and lets the actors’ abilities shine through.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="The Hyperions | Official Trailer" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/REXUcqHsb8g?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
That cast includes Cary Elwes (“The Princess Bride”) starring as Professor Mandulbaum with a “spot-on British accent.” Hale says, “Elwes not only cranks out a dynamite performance, but he ends up stealing every single scene he’s in.”
Besides Elwes, the all star cast includes Penelope Mitchell (“Hellboy”), Tanner Buchanan (“Cobra Kai”), Elaine Tan (“Tully”), and Alphonso McAuley (“Walk of Shame”). Each offers a unique element that contributes to the overall narrative, which focuses on the permanence of family bonds. 
The reviewer says the film “shines” because of how no one is the main character. Instead, each perspective combines to form a nuanced tidbit of the overall story. 
“No single character in the film is considered the lead. Instead, each one acts as a cog in a giant wheel that spins the story around through a number of different perspectives. The key theme of the film is the importance of family, no matter how imperfect that dynamic might be,” Hale writes.
“The Hyperions” is completely different from Daily Wire Entertainment’s most recent thriller, “Shut In,” and both of those are nothing like the first film released, “Run Hide Fight.” Different still is the highly anticipated Western drama “Terror on the Prairie” starring Gina Carano, which will debut this summer.
However, each project shares the quality of good old-fashioned entertainment with themes that resonate and are free from propaganda. “Hyperions” is a little bit wistful, quite funny, and ultimately uplifting. The 1970s imagery only helps reinforce this feeling of the good old days. Movies that delight and entertain; who knew such a simple concept would become revolutionary?
“The Hyperions” will premiere for everyone to enjoy on Thursday, March 10, 2022, at 8:30 p.m. ET on The Daily Wire YouTube channel. After the premiere, it will be available exclusively for Daily Wire members to stream on DailyWire.com.

The Hyperions

‘The Hyperions’ Is A Genre-Defying, Nostalgic Dose Of Fun With Heart, Reviewer Says

Fresh off the premiere of “Shut In,” the original action thriller that attracted more than 500,000 viewers in 72 hours, Daily Wire Entertainment is gearing up for yet another exciting release. Only this time, the film is a superhero action flick starring Cary Elwes of “The Princess Bride” fame. 
“The Hyperions” will premiere for everyone to enjoy on Thursday, March 10, 2022, at 8:30 p.m. ET on the Daily Wire YouTube channel. After the premiere, it will be available exclusively for Daily Wire members to stream on DailyWire.com.
“&#8217;The Hyperions’ is one of the most creative films I’ve seen,” Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing said. “It’s an ingenious comedy you can enjoy with your family and friends. We have always wanted to give it the largest possible audience and can’t wait to premiere it next week on YouTube for movie fans and our members.”
The unique comedy starring Elwes (“The Princess Bride”) tells the tale of Professor Ruckus Mandulbaum who, in 1960, invented the Titan badge device that turned a trio of teens into adored superheroes. According to the press release, “The quartet soon became a global phenomenon. Over time, though, the group had a falling-out and Professor Ruckus replaced the three original Hyperions with a cadre of new teens. By 1979, two of the Hyperions wanted their Titan badges back and went through great lengths to recover them, including robbing the professor’s museum and inadvertently taking a few hostages along the way.”

Other actors starring in “The Hyperions” include Penelope Mitchell (“Hellboy”), Tanner Buchanan (“Cobra Kai”), Elaine Tan (“Tully”), and Alphonso McAuley (“Walk of Shame”). The film was written, produced, and directed by Jon McDonald (“Muddy Corman”) under his American Millimetre banner.
“Director John McDonald is a true auteur,” Boreing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daily-wire-drops-new-trailers-for-superhero-movie-the-hyperions-and-gina-caranos-western-drama-terror-on-the-prairie">said of the film</a>. “It’s a movie about pride, family, and reconciliation – values we all share regardless of our politics. It’s a perfect movie for Daily Wire, even though I doubt anyone involved in making it listens to ‘The Ben Shapiro Show.’ I consider it a privilege to bring this film to our audience.” 
“The Hyperions” is a quirky, offbeat film that the whole family will enjoy. It’s unlike any other Daily Wire offerings, showing again that the movies being offered are from every genre and for every fan of quality entertainment. 
The entertainment division of Daily Wire couldn’t be hotter. “The Hyperions” is the fourth film The Daily Wire has announced over the past 13 months. It all started with the acquisition of Kyle Rankin’s “Run Hide Fight” in 2020, followed by the incredible premiere of “Shut In” in early 2022. After “The Hyperions,” fans are eagerly waiting for the release of the western drama, “Terror on the Prairie” starring &#8220;The Mandalorian&#8221; actress Gina Carano in her first film since parting ways with Disney last year.

‘The Hyperions’ Starring Cary Elwes Debuting March 10 On YouTube

Cary Elwes — who played lead character Westley in “The Princess Bride” — forwarded a leftist narrative about the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
“Another disappointing victory for White vigilantism,” tweeted the actor.

During a riot last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin, then-17-year-old Rittenhouse — acting in self-defense — killed two men and injured a third. On Friday afternoon, Rittenhouse was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-kyle-rittenhouse-found-not-guilty">cleared</a> of all charges.
Elwes, however, was not the only celebrity to comment on the case.
“We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colin-kaepernick-bubba-wallace-slammed-over-controversial-comments-on-rittenhouse-not-guilty-verdict">claimed</a> former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. “This only further validates the need to abolish our current system.

“It has now been put it out there that vigilantes can just go and kill people protesting issues like racial equality whenever they want and get away with it,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actor-josh-gad-says-verdict-of-fer-kyle-rittenhouse-a-go-ahead-for-vigilantes-to-kill-protesters-seemingly-calls-critics-incels">wrote</a> actor Josh Gad. “Think about that for a second.”
“An 18 year old who gunned down 2 men in cold blood &amp; got away with it is being hailed as a hero today by many,” Gad continued. “You can choose to stand with them, or you can choose to fight back against this frightening s*** &amp; vote against those who would cheer this f***er &amp; offer him internships.”
“It’s like an Independence Day for racists, incels and anarchists on my timeline today,” Gad added.
Democratic politicians also offered their two cents.
“America today: you can break the law, carry around weapons built for a military, shoot and kill people, and get away with it,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-governor-gavin-newsom-slammed-over-remarks-on-outcome-of-rittenhouse-trial">commented</a> Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). “That’s the message we’ve just sent to armed vigilantes across the nation.”
“This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-democrat-calls-for-justice-department-to-intervene-in-rittenhouse-case-conduct-federal-review">argued</a> House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY). “Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest.”

“How does it feel to know that not only the entire cast and crew of your favorite movie The Princess Bride, but almost the whole entertainment industry, have nothing but rabid contempt for you?” Elwes asked on Twitter.
Cruz then posted a photo of a framed picture of Elwes — upon which the actor had written “To Sen. Cruz. Best Wishes.” Cruz said, “Does this mean you want your picture back?”

‘Princess Bride’ Actor Cary Elwes On Rittenhouse Trial: ‘Another Disappointing Victory For White Vigilantism’

Kyle Rittenhouse

On Wednesday morning, actor Cary Elwes, famed for his leading role as “Westley” in the film “The Princess Bride,” hissed at GOP Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) that “not only the entire cast and crew of your favorite movie The Princess Bride, but almost the whole entertainment industry, have nothing but rabid contempt for you?”
Elwes continued in his tweet by quoting from the movie, “@inconceivable,” adding, “I think not, you miserable ROUS.” Elwes seemed to imply that Cruz was a rat with the word “ROUS,” which stands for the “Rodents of Unusual Size” that Westley and his love interest  Buttercup encounter in the film.

By now, Cruz is a veteran of the wars with Hollywood celebrities attacking him, wars in which he invariably strikes back with gusto. In December 2018, Jimmy Kimmel presented a skit in which he conversed with God (played by Billy Crystal) and Satan (played by Dave Grohl) to decide whether Ted Cruz should go to Hell.
Ultimately, Crystal and Grohl played “rock, paper, scissors” to determine Cruz’s fate, as neither of them wanted him, and Crystal issued some insults directed at Cruz.
Cruz fired back on Twitter, writing, “Really getting into the Christmas spirit, Jimmy Kimmel just aired a skit with &#8216;God &amp; Satan&#8217; arguing and eventually deciding that I should go to Hell. It’s almost as if Jimmy’s feelings are still hurt that I kicked his a** at hoops.”

Last August, Cruz <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ted-cruz-targets-hollywood-stop-letting-china-censor-your-content/">targeted Hollywood</a>, announcing he was targeting Hollywood for its habit of allowing Communist China to censor its content.
Cruz said he would introduce a bill, titled the “Stopping Censorship, Restoring Integrity, Protecting Talkies” Act, that would terminate Defense Department assistance for any film studio that capitulates to Chinese censors, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/04/30/ted-cruz-pushes-bill-to-stop-hollywood-from-censoring-movies-for-china/?utm_medium=SocialFlow&amp;utm_source=NYPTwitter&amp;utm_campaign=SocialFlow">New York Post</a> reported.
Cruz issued a statement asserting, “For too long, Hollywood has been complicit in China’s censorship and propaganda in the name of bigger profits. The SCRIPT Act will serve as a wakeup call by forcing Hollywood studios to choose between the assistance they need from the American government and the dollars they want from China.”
