The director of "Captain America: The First Avenger," the 2011 summer blockbuster that will coincide with the character's 70th anniversary, says that the screen version of the hero will be true to his roots -- up to a certain point.
"We're sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers," said Joe Johnston, whose past directing credits include "Jurassic Park III" and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids." He's a guy that wants to serve his country but he's not a flag-waver. We're re-interpretating, sort of, what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was."

Not “re-interpretation,” “revisionism.” Can’t have a feller be too proud of the racist, imperialist United States in these days of liberal Hollywood enlightenment, can we?
To: Perdogg
Maybe they should call him Captain Islam instead.
Or Captain AmeriKKKa.
Won’t be seeing this trash.

“It’s about what makes America great and what make the rest of the world great too.”
Gee, we’re all one big happy global family, aren’t we? No good people. No evil people, just misguided ones. Everything is relative, depending on your perspective. No right and wrong, in the traditional sense. All societies are equal to all others.
What a load of crap.
I wish these guys would leave our American icons alone, and invent new ones if they want to make a statement. All we seem to get these days are recycled themes from the past, but reinvented to be PC. Excuse me while I retch.

Sure, he loves his country so much he wants to change it into something completely different, something akin to a communist hell-hole.

Same with the new GI Joe movie.
Rather than being an American fighting force, they were a Brussels based International agency.
Even the new Superman ditched the “American way” slogan.

Captain already threw the tea party under the bus and backed a government superhero registration progam. No $ for marvel/Disney

You can still fly Old Glory. Just turn her upside down until 2012.

He fought against the Superhero Registration Act and essentially became a domestic terrorist...but it all worked out because Obama pardoned him for his actions.
I kid you not...
To: tx_eggman
Ditto....this producer is typical of Hollywood libtards stuck on stupid, then they wonder why their movies flop....go figure.

And the Red Skull is not a Nazi fascist, in this movie he's a tea partier...

“Johnston has been hard at work on the London set of the film...”
Such an American production that they have to ditch the California labor unions and shoot in jolly old England.
