Melvadius Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Apparently they are remaking Red Dawn. The Chinese invade America and occupy Detroit. http://www.reddawn2010.com/ It's years since I saw the original and I can't say that, despite the good cast - many of whom went on to better things, it strikes me as a film 'needing' remade. Mind you I only half recognised one of the 'new' cast names (brother of someone else?) which possibly bodes even less well for the remake Chris, what would you do if you saw PLA troops in your back yard? I suppose asking if they'd brought the carry-out could be considered somewhat risky not to mention totally non-PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) It's years since I saw the original and I can't say that, despite the good cast - many of whom went on to better things, it strikes me as a film 'needing' remade. The original movie was a metaphor for conservative americana: a bunch of gun toting country kids, led by the high school quarterback, use their hunting skills to foil the forces of socialism. The movie was always very big in Republican circles. This remake seem a metaphor in the opposite direction: The Chinese come to "save us" from corporate greed, even as their goods flood our market. And of course, it seems very deliberate they set up shop in America's automobile capital ... Regardless, I enjoyed the first movie for the cheese factor, and I'll probably enjoy the remake for the cheese factor as well. The sets do look impressive.

Primus Pilus Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Apparently they are remaking Red Dawn. The Chinese invade America and occupy Detroit. http://www.reddawn2010.com/ Chris, what would you do if you saw PLA troops in your back yard? Much of it was filmed within a couple of miles of my house. There are already plenty of communists living here in Michigan... a few Chinese wouldn't make much difference. =P I just can't believe that there is so little hollywood creativity left that they had to remake Red Dawn.

Ursus Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I wonder if the Detroit Pistons stand in for the Calumet Wolverines as the insurgent force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylla Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Apparently they are remaking Red Dawn. The Chinese invade America and occupy Detroit. PLA boys would have a rough day, properly devastating retaliation would be immediate; end of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
