    I respect this guy’s work. District 9 is a goid movie. Gran Turismo was very enjoyable to watch. Then there is Chappy and Elisium, which hit hard as well.

    I’ve read the book. I’ve seen the original movie.

    Considering the track record of the man, I want to risk conditions are met for a good movie to be created. I seriously doubt it will be agreeable to everyone, considering the book deals heavily with fascism and authoritarianism.

    If we get a good action film with a very hard undertone of social and political critique, we’ll be very fortunate.

      I’m actually looking forward to it.
