I recall an AV Club column about how XXX made a big deal about James Bond being old hat while they were the new freshness, even dispatching a Bond expy in the opening, only for Bourne Identity to blaze the actual trail for action movies in the same year.

Not Fred Hampton, but William O’Neil. He’s supposed to be a teen at the beginning, and it’s been too long since Lakeith Stanfield played one in Short Term 12. I don’t think it ruined the movie though.

Not as good as a 1 film version.

I would just assume by default that all aristocratic families of that time would be trying to perpetuate their line.
