"Richard Linklater will direct FAST FOOD NATION, starring Catalina Sandino Moreno. Inspired by Eric Schlosser's bestselling nonfiction expose of junk food companies, the fictionalized thriller will be produced by Thomas with Malcolm McLaren. Shooting is slated for the fall."

Fast Food Nation is a thriller now?
It's about the hideous corporate abuse and misuse of labour laws/agricultural monopolies and godawful treatment of migrant workers by McDonalds.
How does one turn that into a fictionalised thriller??

I don't think it's an action movie. More like a taut political thriller or some balls.

Add a James Bond-alike average secret agent and a plot involving the villainous Ronald McDonald and his army of corrupted kids who were fed genetically enhanced mcnuggets and morphed into his army.

Sounds like someone bought the rights to a bestseller without actually knowing what it was about.

It happens.

Have any of you read the book?

There's no central character, there's no plot.
It's a non-fiction report on everything from feedlot conditions to non-unionised workforces.

Aaah, Good Burger, the supremo of political anti-corporate activism films.

Kenan and Kel (and to a lesser extent Chris), I salute you.
