In 2005, Bannon wrote a movie about Nazis, cloning, mutants, the evils of science, evil elites...

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/02/09/steve-bannon-wanted-mel-gibson-for-his-movie-about-nazis-abortion-mutants.html

Basically it was supposed to be a documentary-style movie:

Mankind has adopted the "most radical ideology in history": Man is creating new men. Which is obviously bad, because only God is allowed to do that. Bad things happen when mankind does science. (Note: The movie does not detail if good things happen when mankind worships God.)

All the "yuppie science" and this commercialisation of technology leads to stuff like mutants, clones and designer-humans.

The Nazis were all about race. This new technology/society would be about changing the human. Therefore these guys would be just like Nazis. (Summary: If you don't worship God, you're basically a Nazi.)

This technology leads to society becoming a fascist dystopia ruled by powerful, immortal elites, kept alive by spare body-parts.

And of course, the movie contains some Illuminati-style conspiracy-theory about the elites trying to impose a new world-order.

In another movie-draft, he wanted to make a documentary to warn of Muslims creating the "Islamic States of America", helped by enablers like:
The Washington Post, NPR, “Universities and the Left,” the ACLU, the CIA, the State Department, and the “American Jewish Community.”

Troma can make atrocious but lovable movies like Honky Holocaust, but they can't do anything with the warped fantasies of a diseased mind like Bannon's. They're simply not good material for creative work.
