    So this is apparently an upcoming movie, where Owen Wilson moves his family to some vague Southeast Asian country that's perpetually a warzone, or something. Heavy emphasis on how weird things are in Asia to white people. Can our white protagonists survive the Asian Zombie horde?

    "Welcome to Asia, the largest continent by land mass and population and very diverse so I really should be more specific."

    Anyone remember the Owen Wilson-led Behind Enemy Lines? The one that came out right after 9-11 so of course there were screenings at bases and ****. Anyway, that was to the Balkans as this appears to be to "Asia." I guess they're afraid of offending Thailand or Cambodia or Myanmar or something.

    LOL that was so over the top it looked like a trailer for a fake movie. Thanks, Vivec.

    For some reason all the Asians in that country decided to kill the whites.

    OK so it looks like it's capitalising on the Thai coup, with a bit of Burma 2007 thrown in and with insurgents who aren't pro-Pheu Thai rural and urban poor but more like BRN/RKK/BBMP/JI types.

    So basically, it is like another Taken where Americans are encouraged to fear the outside world?

    Oh, and Even, "welcome to Asia" is something people say there when you're first in-country. Usually when you see something unique to Asia*.

    (* Asia I gather means different things where you are. English people use it mostly for Indian and Pakistan; we use it for SE and N Asia, not sure what you use it for).

    In this movie's defense, I can't imagine anyone not wanting to kill Owen Wilson.

    I have access to this top secret movie database so I looked it up, so you could be sure. It was like 2 months after.

    I think you'll have to increase shifts and drive for a 48% increase in outrage there Vivec; nobody seems surprised or upset by this film. I mean, upset that it's a waste of money; upset that Pierce Brosnan is reduced to such tripe, but that's it.

    Err, yeah. I looked it up on Wikipedia. It's just for some reason it registered in my memory as a pre-9/11 movie, and it turned out not to be the case.
