A New "Battle of Midway" Film In The Works



Popular Mechanics: The Director of “Independence Day” is Taking on the Battle of Midway

Let’s hope for the best.

Dunkirk won't be Hollywood's sole big-budget return to WWII. The Battle of Midway is set to get the film treatment by Roland Emmerich the director of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow.

    I can’t wait for the heroic homosexual Naval aviators to be revealed who sunk the Soryu and Akagi. Plus the heroic identities of the transsexual firefighters who kept the Yorktown afloat after the first bomb strikes.

    Such suspense!

    I'm starting to see transgender, binary and other things appear on forms.

    We are not moving to a world of more liberal acceptance. We are moving into a loony bin.

    The battle of Midway was best portrayed in the "Kantai Collection" series ( ending of first season ). Nothing can come close to it, hands down, case closed.

    "with today's technology and special effects, I can only imagine the movie that they can produce." No need to imagine. It'll look like a video game.
