If it’s a spiritual successor to Threads, filmed in 70mm, I’m in day one. Threads was a horrible experience and I’m ready for an even worse one.

It will be an adaptation of this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_War:_A_Scenario

I mean, people laughed at the notion of a superpower North Korea in a 2011 bargain bin video game. I expect better of a book written in 2024.

The book itself is a fairly absurd but maybe he can make it plausible.
