Emmy Award-winning comedian Katt Williams is ventu

Emmy Award-winning comedian Katt Williams is venturing into the world of film production with an ambitious plan to transform a former military base in Alabama into a state-of-the-art movie studio. While details about the exact location and purchase price remain under wraps, speculation points to the Cold War-era barracks at Fort McClellan in Anniston, Alabama, listed for sale at $1.5 million. Amy Sisoyev, the comedian’s publicist, confirmed the acquisition but declined to share specifics, saying only, “I can confirm that he has purchased a former military base in Alabama.” The property, which Williams has fittingly named “Starships,” is said to feature an array of structures and amenities that make it ideal for large-scale film production. Reports indicate it includes 30 concrete buildings offering three million square feet of indoor space, 10 barracks with 20 rooms each, two expansive gymnasiums, and over 90 acres of flat land. For Katt Williams, this move is more than just an investment—it is a statement about the power of ownership and representation in entertainment. #realestate
