In 2001, Stiller founded Red Hour Productions, through which many of his acting and directorial works have been produced, including Tropic Thunder and the Zoolander films. In 2015, Red Hour struck a partnership with Bold Films, a production and financing company which focuses on independent films and "providing an artistic haven for creative talent." Some of that creative talent includes Natalie Portman, Kiera Knightley, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Stiller's occasional partner in crime, Owen Wilson. This merger allows more financial stability for Red Hour, and audiences can look forward to future projects spanning film, TV, and digital outlets. Since Bold Films is known for many serious, dramatic films, it will be interesting to see how their style meshes with the comedic repertoire and big-name boost of Red Hour. But even though Red Hour has a whole slate of frenetic farces in their history, their founder has already been testing other genre waters.
