This just made the satire even more effective.

One cannot discount the Neil Patrick Harris and Micheal Ironside supporting characters that made the original so strange in the casting department.

I´ll watch anything Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz writes. They did a terrific job on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, First Class was pretty awesome and Thor´s good too.

Though it is a good read, its politics are unbearable. The movie is a oft misunderstood classic. Its take on propaganda and fascism goes over so many peoples’ heads its amazing.

It started production last year, if I remember correctly.
