I saw some of this production in Detroit. It was pretty funny to see a huge Chinese flag draping the local coney island.
Despite the North Korean thing, which is very weak, the fact that it is being shot in an urban area means that it is going to lack a big component from the original. There was a huge survival element in the first one that really grabbed me as a kid. I thought it cleaning out a general store and heading for the hills in a pickup was so badass. Maybe there's a call-of-duty generation that will really dig urban warfare, but as a kid I thought going camping without adults and fighting Russians was about as good as it gets.
