Joss Whedon Just Launched A Campaign To Stop Trump Featuring A “Shit-Ton” Of Famous People
Hollywood unites to stop Trump and make Mark Ruffalo do a nude scene in his next movie.
Say what you will about Donald Trump, but he sure knows how to bring people together…even if it’s only to stop him from becoming President. In this particular instance, he’s managed to unite Julianne Moore, Martin Sheen, James Franco, Neil Patrick Harris, Stanley Tucci, Nathan Fillion, Yvette Nicole Brown and about half the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who’ve all teamed up with the legendary Joss Whedon on a new campaign encouraging Americans to go and vote for Hillary Clinton.

Save the Day is Whedon’s new “short-form digital production company” set up to help fight “the apathy, cynicism and honest confusion that keeps citizens from using their vote.” The man behind Buffy, Firefly and more recently The Avengers reportedly put $1 million of his own money into the venture, and has recruited a staggering number of his Hollywood mates to lend their star power to the project as well.
Their first video, titled Important, is a pretty spot-on send-up of “inspiring” campaign ads, with earnest actors staring down the barrel of the camera while piano music plays urgently in the background.
“You only get this many famous people together if the issue is one that truly matters to all of us,” declare the never-ending stream of celebrities. “A disease,” suggests Scarlett Johansson, “or an ecological crisis,” adds Clark Gregg. “Or a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society,” says Don Cheadle.
But it’s not just the famous faces Save the Day is selling, with Franco, Moore and Harris all giving their guarantee that if enough people stand up to Trump, “Mark Ruffalo will do a nude scene in his next movie.”
Don’t let us down, America.
