The ruins of Detroit, Mt. Clemens, Saginaw and Pontiac are all shooting sites.

I hope this one is more on the nose regarding gun control.

Doing urban restoration?

Detroit is a wonderful place to make movies, as long as you are filming a post-apocalyptic story.

If an explosion goes off in a city, and no one lives there, did it really happen?

[Old Texan]

I doubt it would cause much of a stir. Just another gang event

[GreenHornet]

Film crews for the 'Red Dawn' remake were in downtown Detroit yesterday, filming an explosion scene.

Authorities estimate the explosion caused ten million dollars worth of improvements.

Let me guess... instead of the Soviet Red Army, the “enemy” this time will be marauding evangelical, pro-life, pro-American Christians.

'Red Dawn' film crew sets off explosion in downtown Detroit ...and causes over $1 million in improvements...

[SJSAMPLE]

At the conclusion to the filming of “Apocalypse Now”, Francis Ford Coppola had the decency to destroy the entire final set with glorious explosions.

Just sayin’.

Here are some pictures of propoganda handed out by the enemy forces:

The last one reminds me of an ACORN office

[Erik Latranyi]

From the pictures, it looks like they got the "enemy" right:

How many Freepers are in these pictures?

[Hot Tabasco]

downtown Detroit yesterday, ... explosion scene.

...and all it drew was a bunch of disappointed potential looters.

It is scary that these could be Obama posters:

[ExGeeEye]

meh. Too much fire in that. You’d think the building was an urban fuel depot. Unless that’s part of the story...

[himno hero]

Its not the movie set of Red Dawn,

Its Obamanana Dawn, where the story line takes a 2010 twist. The Reds have taken over the government, led by a tyrannical Marxist and his 43 czar shadow government, and its up to the people to take their government and land back.

Rule #1 in movie making: Never, EVER, try to re-make a classic.

There is only one Red Dawn and I will refuse to watch this new version.

[Non-Sequitur]

The ruins of Detroit, Mt. Clemens, Saginaw and Pontiac are all shooting sites.

How do they tell the ruins from the rest of the city?

Did anyone notice?

My favorite exchange of dialogue, from the original:

Col. Andy Tanner: ...The Russians need to take us in one piece, and that's why they're here. That's why they won't use nukes anymore; and we won't either, not on our own soil. The whole damn thing's pretty conventional now. Who knows? Maybe next week will be swords.
Darryl Bates: What started it?
Col. Andy Tanner: I don't know. Two toughest kids on the block, I guess. Sooner or later, they're gonna fight.
Jed Eckert: That simple, is it?
Col. Andy Tanner: Or maybe somebody just forget what it was like.
Jed Eckert: ...Well, who *is* on our side?
Col. Andy Tanner: Six hundred million screaming Chinamen.
Darryl Bates: Last I heard, there were a billion screaming Chinamen.
Col. Andy Tanner: There *were*.

They’re filming ‘What’s Wrong with Virginia’ a few houses down from mine. No star sightings yet.
