“Eco-terrorists” have already been fodder for Law & Order episodes, Internet TV shows, and “soft-core eco-terrorism” children’s movies. They’ve unleashed armies of the undead and let loose a virus that kills 5 billion people. Those have been fairly minor roles, however. Now it looks like the “Green Scare” is ready for the big screen, big [...]
