I don’t have high hopes for this movie.

I guess I missed the idea for the remake- the original was bad enough, but a remake?

Oh well, can a pre-quel be far behind?

IMO< the premise needs to be altered to reflect the attack from within. To hell with the Russian and Chinese boogie men angle. We might not last until that eventuality, at the rate we’re going.

Today the red threat sits in the White House and Congress.

A bit of trivia: the original was filmed in Las Vegas, New Mexico.

Gilroy is going to ruin this classic. They guy can't make a movie that doesn't portray the US government as the bad guy. Red Dawn worked the first time because Milius understood the existential threat that the Russian's posed to America.

Red Dawn was a kind of a re-imagining of what the "nuclear" conflict with the Soviets would look like. Plus, it didn't shy away from painting the Soviets as blood thirsty, unapologetic killers. Hardly the stuff of modern day anti-American flicks. One of the primary antagonists was a Cuban national. How's that going to work with the leftist, Hollywierdos infatuation with Che and Fidel?

Who's going to be the villain now. Are we going to be invaded by Exxon or "Big Pharma"?

Or, my prediction, is that this new "Marine on leave" will have some kind of revelation about how cruel he was to people in Iraq and that America "had it coming". Kind of a Red Dawn meets Apocalypse Now meets Deer Hunter, or the like.

So, in today’s Hollywood the Wolverines will actually welcome our new Communist overlords and work to bring “Hope and Change” to all of America!

Why a remake? The movie, as is, is still relevant and little can be done to improve the message.

How about something more creative for a change? Almost all of the blizzard of remakes have been flops.

This is not going to be good.

They are also remaking “Fame” and “Footloose.” Hollywood is committing 80’s movie blasphemy.

It may turn out to be a bad movie but casting 'Tyra' from Friday Night Lights is a good start.

Because of both political correctness and the vital importance of overseas markets in today’s film industry there is virtually no chance that the movie can involve a foreign invasion unless it’s a neo Nazi western European army.

Almost certainly the film will involve a “dominionist” Christian dictatorship.

The remake takes place in Hawaii. A group of patriots calling themselves “Freepers From Hell” parashoot in and take over the hall of records in search of the mysterious birth certificate and are met with a para-military force called ACORN and and bloody and horrific firefight ensues. Sycthian give this movie two thumbs up and the shocking ending makes it worth it all ...
