Overview
- The film's trailer, released Tuesday, Oct. 13, revealed a starry cast that includes Rob Lowe, James Franco, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kodi Smit‑McPhee, Nick Nolte and Brad Dourif.
- Confession is written by Daily Wire co‑founder Ben Shapiro, directed by Václav Marhoul, and is set for a world premiere at the Warsaw Film Festival on Oct. 15.
- The production was shot on 35mm at Santa Clarita Studios with cinematographer Peter Menzies Jr. and prosthetics by Oscar‑winner Jeff Dawn, signaling higher technical ambitions than some prior Daily Wire pictures.
- The Daily Wire plans a platform‑first rollout: a one‑night, 100‑theater U.S. event and same‑day debut on its streaming service on Nov. 11.
- The announcement comes as the company faces renewed scrutiny over other productions, including protests during Pawn Shop filming and public claims by Danny Trejo’s son that Trejo is contractually unable to leave that project, a claim that has not been independently verified.
