There’s good weird and bad weird. This seems to be going in the bad weird direction.

Fortress (Christopher Lambert, but more importantly Jeffrey Combs <3) - set in an evil corporate prison in the distant future of 2017. A dumb little dystopian science fiction thing with some fun ideas and people who wanted to make a decent movie. Interesting villain, interesting (for the time) female protag. Stuart Gordon rarely disappoints. Several naked penises on new arrival prisoners.

Fortress 2 (Christopher Lambert, no Jeffrey Combs :(, no Stuart Gordon) - set on an evil corporate prison space station because why the fuck not. Dumb and generic and half-hearted and full of nonsense. Just fucking set it on an asteroid and half of the movie’s problems are solved. New prisoners are now apparently allowed undies.

This project keeps getting weirder and weirder and less promising with every bit of new information.

Let me have this, Captain.

Well, maybe if it says “AI predicts” (instead of “science”, “climate models” etc), they might listen.
