FilmDistrict Finally Resurrects 'Red Dawn'

Source: Empire

The 'Red Dawn' remake - filmed back in 2009 and starring Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Adrianne Palicki - may finally hit theaters thanks to FilmDistrict who have "liberated" the film from MGM. Due to the fallout from MGM's financial issues, the film was originally shelved while the studio reorganized and sorted out their priorities.

 

The original film, a fable about an alternate America in which the US is invaded by Russia (with help from Latin American allies), and a small group of teenagers who fight back and call themselves "Wolverines". The new film, produced in our post-Cold War society replaced Russian invaders with Chinese forces as the new enemy. However, offending an entire nation of Chinese ticket-buying film audiences seemed like a bad idea so the enemies were digitally revamped in post-production to be North Korean forces instead to avoid offending Chinese markets.

 

With FilmDistrict picking up the check, 'Red Dawn' is finally expected to arrive in theaters sometime in 2012.

Why did they even take the time to make this pile of shit of a remake.

Sigh. Dumbest statement?

How, pray tell, would North Korea get its obsolete army to the shores of the United States? Are you even remotely aware of the naval and air superiority the United States has on the entire world? Much less N. Korea, which wouldn't wipe its ass without Chinese approval, which China would never give do to the overwhelming economic self-interest (not to mention loan interest)? It is a thoroughly implausible scenario. So perhaps you'd like to educate yourself before you call 'dunce' on something other than your own reflection.

@FilmKiller Wow, that has got to be the dumbest comment I've read in a long time. Hope fully you were thinking of the SOUTH Koreans. The North Koreans are a back asswards nation whom spend 24/7 loathing America and lying to their own people, pretending that Americans are still attacking their power plants and dropping bombs on parts of their country they themselves are not even allowed to visit. This is an entire nation of programmed citizen/slaves that have no damn idea what the fuck the internet is, or what white or black people even look like. This sounds like the best nation to push the "Invade US" blame onto, rather than the Chinese guys that would have to prepare, print and submit all of the film's merchandise, don't you think?

lol...its funny how the North Koreans were the last resort cause nobody gives a fuck if we offend them hahaha!!!! damn thats pretty low.

As much as I've always wanted to see a war film about defending our own homefront, I'm not sure about this. Also I think it would have been awesome if it were a few nations attacking us, like the Russians becoming allies with China or North Korea and attacking. OR better yet, Russians and GERMANS becoming allies once and for all lol...that would be a bit scary. The 2 leading movie-terrorists (Russians / Germans) becoming one military in order to defeat us, that would be crazy lol.

The Russians forgiving Germany for WWII, attacking the US and THEN turning against the Germans in the end realizing they still cant be trusted lol.

@Joshua Balcombe guess you don't know jack shit about the US military, global politics, or manners for the matters. Thanks for playing.

I wonder if it was actually shelved because it blows. only time will tell.

And everyone, stop bitching about the remakes, they are going to happen whether you like it or not. The least you could hope for is that they are at least good
