In February, a handful of actors from the abortion drama Roe v. Wade came forward to share frustrations that they had yet to be paid for their work on the film more than two years after wrapping production. It’s now May — and they’re still waiting.

Cathy Allyn, a co-writer, co-director and producer of the film, relayed in February that the funds had been released to SAG. “They have the money, and it’s up to SAG to release it,” said Allyn. Multiple actors tell The Hollywood Reporter that they have been contacting SAG for months attempting to get updates ...

“Scream” star and ’90s icon Jamie Kennedy plays abortion-rights advocate Larry Leder in the newly opened “Roe v. Wade,” Cathy Allyn and Nick Loeb’s anti-abortion propaganda film that unpacks the “conspiracy” that led to one of the most famous court cases of all time. Kennedy said he didn’t fully understand the film’s anti-abortion bent until production was under way. As he told The Daily Beast in a new interview, he was lured to the film because of its star power — namely, in the form of Jon Voight and Stacey Dash, among others.

“In Hollywood, a lot of people were talking about this movie, and first and foremost, I’m an actor. I act,” Kennedy said. “I’ve worked with Jon Voight twice before, and he’s one of the greatest actors ever. I thought it was an important story, and to be honest, I got offered the role.

To seriously consider “Roe v. Wade” — that is, writer-directors Cathy Allyn and Nick Loeb’s atrocious anti-abortion propaganda piece and not the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision in favor of abortion rights — it is helpful to remember a 2017 quote by journalist Chuck Todd. “Alternative facts are not facts. They’re falsehoods,” Todd succinctly said when confronting Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway on her use of the term. While the Trump era that Conway’s expression sums up is behind us, “Roe v. Wade” has reportedly been in the works for the past three years, so it’s fair to reflect on the baffling film as a product of that period, when right-wing fabrications were routinely presented as truth.

Targeting politically simpatico viewers and anyone they can convert on the other side of the aisle — while perhaps taking a page out of the former administration’s playbook — Allyn and Loeb present their own...

Rightwing faces, including Jon Voight, Stacey Dash and Tomi Lahren, join forces for a shoddy new drama purporting to tell the truth behind a major ruling

Nick Loeb and Cathy Allyn believe you’ve been lied to about the landmark supreme court case Roe v Wade – a decision that protected a woman’s right to choose. In a controversial new movie named after the trial, the co-directors want to explain how decision was rigged; how a Jewish doctor (Loeb is of Jewish descent himself) leveraged abortion into a money making scheme; how the abortion rights advocate Lawrence Lader (Jamie Kennedy) concocted a plan to puppeteer two inexperienced female lawyers to prey on a supposedly desperate bumpkin in Norma McCorvey (Summer Joy Campbell) – the Roe in Roe v Wade – to weaponize her to an unsuspecting court system. And they want to spew this deeply biased anti-abortion malarkey as inartfully as possible.

Nick Loeb said it was a “no-brainer” to premiere Roe v. Wade at Cpac in Orlando on Feb. 26 because the film, which he co-wrote and co-directed with Cathy Allyn, “aligns with the conservative message,” not to mention the first public appearance of Donald Trump since the election. But not everyone is happy.

After The Hollywood Reporter posted an interview with Loeb on Feb. 23, actress Susan Labrecque reached out on social media to share concerns that she and as many as nine other actors have yet to be paid for their work more than two years after the ...

Bcl Finance Group, a fund headed by Adi Cohen, Michael Bassick and Michael Laundon, has signed a deal to complete the financing of political legal drama “Roe v. Wade.”

The film finished shooting in July. Bcl Finance made the announcement on Tuesday, with U.S. Senate beginning confirmation hearings on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh’s views on abortion are expected to be a major component of those hearings.

Bcl Finance said it anticipates a wide U.S. release in winter. The company said “Roe v. Wade” is the “untold” story of the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that found that a right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman’s decision to have an abortion.

The film stars Jon Voight as Chief Justice Warren Burger, Robert Davi as Justice William Brennan, Stacey Dash as National Right to Life president Mildred Mildred Jefferson,...

Roe Vs. Wade is setting itself up to be one of the most controversial movies to come about in quite some time. The Hollywood Reporter broke news of the movie last week with a story that mostly came from producers Nick Loeb and Cathy Allyn. However, there turned out to be a lot more going on behind the scenes with the pro-life, anti-choice movie, as revealed in a separate report from The Daily Beast. As it turns out, cast and crew members have been dropping like flies ever since production on the project started on June 15.

Those who detailed the production of Roe v. Wade, which is currently filming under the title 1973, remained anonymous but the picture they paint is truly crazy. One crew member said, "When I read the first two pages, I was like what the f*** is this?" The movie will be dealing with the landmark Supreme Court...

One of the most controversial films of the year is shooting right now, and you probably don’t even have a clue. And that’s not meant as a jab against your intelligence, instead, it speaks volumes about the actual production. Nick Loeb and Cathy Allyn are currently filming “Roe v. Wade,” but they really don’t want anyone to know about it. And for good reason, because once people find out what the film is about, everyone turns against them.

As Nick Loeb walked to his car with a production assistant during a day of shooting his upcoming feature film, Roe v. Wade, outside Tulane University last week, a woman wearing a headset approached and asked: "Are you the director?"

"When I told her I was, she told me to go fuck myself," Loeb recalls. "Then she threw her headset on the ground and walked off. I found out later she was our electrician."

Anecdotes such as this have become fairly common since Loeb and his production partner, Cathy Allyn, began shooting their pro-life feature film ...

Cinéma-vérité style found footage flicks are all the rage lately thanks to their low production costs and usually profitable returns. Combine this with the resurgence of alien flicks and you've got box office gold, right? At least that's what the people pumping things out are hoping for.

Our brothers in harm over at Bloody Disgusting are reporting that Matty Beckerman, executive producer of The Experiment and Isolation, is getting behind the camera for his directorial debut.

Currently untitled, the horror flick will be a found footage experience about aliens.

Cathy Beckerman (Isolation, The Experiment) also produces.

The movie will follow the Johnsons on a road trip to Florida where they land in the middle of a hurricane.
