Red Dawn

For real when I was a kid I saw this movie and all I day dreamed about for like a month was getting a gun and fighting guirella warfare and that chick from dirty dancing.

So, they're remaking it:

That story made sense in the '80. But now? How do you change it to make it relevant??

Plot Details From Red Dawn Reboot

Red Dawn (Remake 2010) Movie — By Nix on April 15, 2009 | ShareThis

Wolverine!!! Come on, who didn’t leave the theaters screaming the famous line from John Milius’s 1984 movie “Red Dawn”? Okay, not all of us. I was too young to have seen the movie in theaters and saw the film only later on DVD. Er, I mean, VHS. You remember them, right? Those box-looking rectangle thingies with, you know, film and junk? Anyways, they’re rebooting “Red Dawn” for a new generation. So what can we expect?

Latino Review has gotten their hands on the script by Carl Ellsworth (”Red Eye”). You can watch the full script review for yourself, and I would encourage it. Those guys put up some nice production values in their videos, and it definitely needs to be seen. But for the lazy among you, here are the important highlights:

- Former second unit director Dan Bradley (”The Bourne Ultimatum”, “Quantum of Solace”) is expected to make his directorial debut with the movie. He’s apparently going to be using the same handheld style on the reboot.

- The bad guys/invaders will now be the Red Chinese, who knocks off America in the first 20 pages, and gets help from those stinkin’ Russians later in the movie. The cause of the invasion? Oil, of course. There are hints that America is kinda to blame, too. In today’s PC environment, that’s not too much of a surprise.

- Our heroes: Jed is now a former Marine back from Iraq and Matt his high school star quarterback brother; Erica is now an Asian-American cheerleader; and Danny is the African-American star running back. Basically, all the original characters will return (including keeping the same names) but as different archetypes.

- The reboot will be very action-oriented. The original was rated PG-13, but it sounds like the reboot might go the R-rated route.

Great movie when I was a kid but I'm not that fond of it now.

Isn't Jed dead?

[Samuel L. Jackson]

That was another movie...

If you watch it now, it's terrible. Overacted and poorly written. The idea was cool and the stars were likable.

As far as PC...in the original the Cuban general was portrayed as very sympathetic and the Americans were either the Wolverines, bombastic politicians or rednecks.

Best line was the Cuban General talking to the mayor about his son and his involvement in an elite paramilitary organization.....Eagle Scouts
