Ah, if only Damon had invested a considerable amount of his own fortune in making the movie. That would be even sweeter.
BTW, on an (almost) completely unrelated note, a remake to the 80’s action classic “Red Dawn” is scheduled to come out this summer. I’m wondering how much of the film’s politics will be Damon-esque this time around?
Betcha the plot will be right wing generals pull a coup and the wolverines will be the brave progressive force that is trying to get "their" country back.
It's being filmed in the city of Detroit because the filmakers thought they would have the least amount of set work to do to make the impression of a post apocalyptic cataclysm having occurred. Ought to be good for the Detroit economy if nothing else. Maybe the city fathers will use the opportunity for using Hollywood demolitions to start some real urban renewal?
