I viewed the movie as a play on the propaganda within the universe of the book (roughly the equivalent of films like “black hawk down”).

A movie playing it straight could be interesting. My only concern is how it will resonate with the current political situation. The original book was far more subtle in its view on fascism. It could easily turn into a fascist call to arms.
