I'm linking the article but the actual dunk is on redditors who see this and cheer, completely ignoring that this is an extension of how much power/influence the American military has over hollywood film. Want to film anything that might have the military in it? You gotta play ball babyyyy! Ever notice how weirdly patriotic and jingoistic almost every film that features a tank is? They played ball babbyyyy!!!
there was a good comment on reddit at least though https://old.reddit.com/r/entertainment/comments/14o3xt8/defense_department_declares_it_wont_work_with/jqbfo50/
I can see a Call of Duty movie franchise, but those movies probably wouldn't sell well in China in the first place. I just don't know how many film-makers are actually going to have to choose between the Chinese market and DoD slush.
One Hollywood two systems.
