The #MeToo movement only started six years ago, but over that time, we’ve seen its massive impact on Hollywood. Mostly, this has been for the better, as predators are being named and (sometimes) held accountable for their actions. Even when the justice system fails, there are many times when a person is “canceled” and effectively forced to experience consequences that can result in a loss of power, gigs, and social standing.

Nine films in and Illumination films has already made $6.2 billion worldwide and counting.

Louis C.K. put his award-winning, critically acclaimed, hit FX series “Louie” on indefinite hiatus two years ago, claiming he wanted to do something else for a while. This raised a few eyebrows, since “Louie” has always been more like an eclectic collection of short films than a conventional sitcom. If C.K. wanted to overhaul the show entirely, there’s no reason why he couldn’t have just made an entirely new set of characters, themes, and ideas for his new “Louie.”

We think of him as a funny, sharply observed comedian, but Louie C.K. is a renaissance man. When his show “Louie” started on FX, it quickly became critically acclaimed and one of the best shows on television (so good that he even convinced David Lynch to make an appearance).
