I can picture Patrick Swaze watching the remake, then going outside yelling "AVENGE ME!"

[rjp2005]

Actually, now that I think about it, we’ve all seen a glimpse of a Red Dawn remake before.

Speaking of Patrick Swayze... Good thought going his way.

Heroes will be a white Muslim convert, and a black Nation of Islam guy who is also gay - and they will have a buddy relationship a la Lethal Weapon.

The token girl of the resistance will be Paris Hilton in an open-face burka, who smuggles the needed tasers under her voluminous garb.

The enemies will be a weird amalgamation of rural Christians and some Svengali like Wall Street guy who represents "corporate interests".

It will most likely flop.

I await this with fear, fear of a new propaganda film. The original Red Dawn was for sure a propaganda film, but it was anti-left, anti-liberal.

Wait and see, I guess, but in the Huck Finn movie Jim went free, and in Scarlet Letter Hester and the preacher split the town to set up a love shack somewhere.

I'm growing a long mustache.

"Red Dawn" is my favorite movie of all time. I hope they don't ruin it.

Ronald Reagan liked it...that's all you need to know.

Course, the remake will probably give the Mohammedans new ideas...

I still love Red Dawn and I watch it with my kids. Try this: Show Red Dawn to a bunch of 18-20 year olds and watch their faces light up.

I suspect this remake may turn out to be a good old fashion right wing flick. And it’s about time!

RED DAWN: A Film by Michael Moore

(Remember the red v. blue color scheme on the election maps)

If it hollywierd the Americans will be the bad guys and the Muslim cultists will be doing the defending.

Should be a great piece of fiction.

[CharlesWayneCT]

My favorite of that genre was the long miniseries “Amerika”, with Chris Kristoffersen.

But I haven’t seen it in years, and it’s not even available for rent from Blockbuster online so far as I can tell.

I did like Red Dawn, which means they will probably screw it up, like the idiots who made the new Andromeda Strain movie for A&E.

[Petronski]

"As Red Dawn scared the heck out of people in 1984, we feel that the world is kind of already filled with a lot of paranoia and unease, so why not scare the hell out of people again?"

With an attitude like this, they're off to a good start. LOL

Let's see...Islamofascist sleeper cells here in America are activated and hold important infrastructures hostage, (dams, power plants, Wall St., etc...) take over small towns with Jihad tactics (beheadings, re-education camps, bombings, etc...) and force everyone to become "Muzzle 'ems" or be killed. But the gun owners of America fight back and kill them all with hunting rifles and 'evil' black guns. While they're at it, they kill all the pinko commies and red diaper doper babies as well as traitors in the government. In the end, we win. Hurrah!

I can dream at least, can't I?

[RikaStrom]

Here it is.

[Doomonyou]

Middle America secedes from the socialist coasts, form a free counrty, and try to live in peace and freedom. The commie east and west coasts get the UN to invade, then Nuke middle America with North Korean and Iranian missles. Middle America is a glass parking lot. President Nancy Pelosi declares victory over the Rogue terrorist country of Middle America.

The End

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Red Eye scribe Carl Ellsworth will pen the script, which will update the story to modern day.

In this version the bad guys are the lawyers.

[Boagenes]

Who wants to bet that the plot goes like this:

“The villain turns out to be a Cheney-esque ‘white guy’ in the American government that ends up having secretly plotted with the ‘obvious’ bad guys - probably the Chinese - to bring down the American government so that he can take over all the oil fields in the West.”

Now, who do I bill for developing a treatment from this synopsis?

Goldman was right, no one in Hollywood knows anything. Leftist hack idiots all.
