- Director Terry Gilliam claims the re-election of President Trump has "destroyed" satire and inadvertently "killed" his new film, "The Carnival at the End of Days".
- Gilliam states that Trump has 'destroyed' satire because his actions are so extreme that they make traditional satire impossible, thus 'killing' his movie.
- He stated that irony and satire were "basically dead" due to "woke activists" making people afraid to tell jokes, but Trump has "turned it upside down".
- Gilliam's upcoming film, "The Carnival at the End of Days", is a star-studded comedy about the apocalypse, set to feature Jeff Bridges as the voice of God and Johnny Depp as Satan, among others.
- Gilliam indicated he might need to rewrite much of the film, including a preamble that it takes place during "the Trump lost years from 2020 to 2024".
