I've seen rave reviews of the book for years but never read it. This does look like a great cast and big Hollywood investment.

I saw a prequel, I know you both have too:

 

"Some 16 years after the end of a horrific world war, a seemingly gifted child is born in an undisclosed hospital to be raised by Marxists and is then sent off for the a series of advanced liberal schooling in order to be inserted as a mole for the future destruction of the United States Constitution."
