Well this should not be a surprise to anyone but Red Dawn is the latest film to be put on hold due to MGM’s financial status. With no executives to control the studio, creditors have placed the responsibility of the once great film company on themselves. This move has affected all the movies it was tied to, from the twenty-third Bond film to The Hobbit. Because of MGM’s financial problems Daniel Craig left Bond 23 for Girl with a Dragon Tatoo and Gullimero Del Toro left The Hobbit.

Dear MGM,
If you want to crawl out of your financial troubles, invest enough money now in a pro-American, pro-Freedom, pro-Individualist remake of Red Dawn that remains true to the original, and you will make so much money in ticket sales that you will, once again, be in the black.

I thought Red Dawn was horrible. Not because of it’s political message but simply because I thought it was ridiculous and poorly made.

I take that back. Red Dawn was not very good but it wasn’t terrible.

I honestly cannot think of any remake that was as good as the original.

They caved to China. Gold star for you.

What????? No more Leo roaring on the screen????
To: Artemis Webb
One possibility - the Marlon Brando/Trevor Howard version of “Mutiny on the Bounty” was a pretty good remake of the original (Charles Laughton and Clark Gable).
To: Artemis Webb
My best pal's father, a former U.S. Army Forward Observer/Sniper who served at and IN the ROK/DPRK De-militarized Zone in 1968, asked where the men were after seeing Red Dawn for the first time in 1984.
Good question since they all could not have been captured and locked up in the Colorado gulag, especially the veterans.

How about "The Maltese Falcon"?
