Fox News Media's streaming service has become a home for passion projects from big names with red state appeal, including Martin Scorsese and Kevin Costner.
After Martin Scorsese saw success with a run of acclaimed films leading up to his first Oscar winner 'Raging Bull' in 1980, the director thought he could take some time to pursue a topic that fascinated him since childhood. 'I thought why not go to the stories of saints?' Scorsese said at a recent panel discussion in New York. At the time, Scorsese saw Italian directors doing nonfiction takes on scholarly subjects for television and wanted in. 'I tried,' he said.
'We have a very passionate audience, and we understand them very well,' said Jason Klarman, Fox News Media's chief digital and marketing officer. 'And they're giving us the permission to do things for them that news organizations don't normally do.' Scorsese is the latest and most prominent entertainment industry figure to produce for Fox Nation, which launched in 2018.
