Ed Solomon, who wrote the first one, is one of those guys who I just love. He takes really stupid ideas and makes them ENTERTAINING even if not good.

The idea that he bounces back and forth between totally forgettable nonsense like this and projects with Soderbergh makes me giggle.

To be fair this movie was crowdfunded and people have been itching for an update. The trailer feels like it’s designed to play to people on Kickstarter and at New York Comic Con (where it debuted and the room went nuts). Those people are all very in on the joke.

It feels almost criminal that with Disney having done absolutely nothing with the IP it still took this long to revert.

That’s an interesting thought! I had never heard anything about a connection, but I’m friendly with Darick Robertson, who co-created and drew the comic. I’ll have to see if he has any insight.

It’s fucking toast
