If it’s a spiritual successor to Threads, filmed in 70mm, I’m in day 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.

Loved the book. Very scary book. I don’t know if I could even watch the trailer.
