I wouldn’t worry about this thing getting made. 1) It sounds terrible. Development executives are often dumb, but not that dumb. This sounds like a real stinker. 2) There are too many animal lovers and animal rights activists in the entertainment industry. A lot of them fly under the radar but give big money to stop all kinds of animal cruelty. There are high level agents, lawyers and studio executives who are huge donors — not to mention high profile actors and directors who would never participate in such a project. I really doubt this thing’ll get made. If it does, it’ll be terrible and only help animal welfare by bringing such an idiotic stance to light.

Oh, crap.

The media shouldn’t be comparing this movie to “Thank You for Smoking” since the latter is an anti-smoking satire, not a pro-”corporations that kill” piece.

And I’ve said it before here, but I’ll say it again. I hate Wesley J. Smith and anyone like him.

It sounds like it might be along the lines of the UK group “Pro-Test,” which has received some pretty silly news coverage about them standing up to the evil protesters.

“the script does depict SHAC as a terrorist group, and the hero of the story is a teenager who finally stands up to them in order to save an animal testing lab”

I hope they’re kidding.

I just hope he doesn’t come back as a zombie. That wouldn’t be kosher.

I just realized that I put “H” intead of “J” as Smith’s middle initial. Woe is me.

Ooh, flesh-eating bacteria. Joe, it sounds like you’ve got a great idea for a romantic comedy.

Ugh, and I thought that media depictions of animal activists couldn’t get any worse. Is it wrong to wish that Wesley H. Smith gets an incurable form of flesh-eating bacteria?
