    Haven’t seen it myself. It has most of the same cast, but the writer said the studio butchered his script, and Villeneuve is replaced as director by a guy called Stefano Sollima. Sollima apparently directed a film called ACAB in 2012 so maybe the politics are good? I’ve heard there’s a bunch of action schlock though so idk.

      Ah word. Yeah idk either. I feel like there’s a reason I gave it a miss, probably dunked on via podcast or something. Not like the original wasn’t but it was pretty much zeitgeist saturation and hard to miss really.

      I think I’ve seen ACAB but fuck if I can remember anything about it.
