Since Hollywood has no original ideas, someone at MGM thought it would be a great idea to remake the 80's classic Red Dawn. Now instead of invading Cubans and Russians the movie has Chinese troops invading us...well, until MGM China having a fit and MGM scared of loosing millions in revenue.
So, with the magic of CGI, the Chinese references will be changed to our new old enemy, North Korea! A starving poor people who would probably stop at the first Carl's Jr for a jumbo burger if their army ever invaded us.
Film is expected to be released sometime in fall 2012.

Hollywood ran out of ideas 20yrs ago...or longer. Just about every movie you watch now days is a remake. Heck, their starting to remake movies just years after the original, just look at The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo which was originally released in 2009. If it wasn't for comic books, Hollywood would file for bankruptcy.
Anyhow, the remake of Red Dawn has been in the works for some time now but it keeps getting pushed back...because it involves the Chinese I personally would have left it alone my self...no one is going to play a better Jed than Patrick Swayze!

It's an American classic. The opening scene where they see the chaos unfolding outside the window is chilling, Esp for that time period.
Patrick Swayze was awesome in it, As he was for everything else he did. He was a great actor, A good man and very much missed. I watched "Point Break" again the other night and his charisma was incredible. With classic films like these, There are moments that will never be replicated.

It's a bit ironic they initially chose China as the new bogeyman seeing how China was one of the few allies on America's side in the original. On the other hand, who else could conceivably fit the bill? The idea that North Korea has anywhere near the diplomatic and military muscle to pull off what the Soviets did in the original is hilarious.

exactly. China was an ally in the first movie.
And the idea of N Korea invading the US reminds me of a recently released video game called Homefront

Agreed, it's going to be hard to keep a straight face watching this show...if I watch it at all. Ironically though, China and N.Korea are close friends. So it's hard to see going to war with N.Korea without seeing any involvement from China.
