Red Dawn II, the invaision from within......

Obama’s “civilian” army overruns neighborhoods and brave patriotic citizens fight from within....

That’s what it would be if I wrote the script......

I’m thinking more along the lines of...right-wing extremists from “red states” invading the peaceful, law-abiding, racially sensitive and diverse blue states.

This is 2009 Hollywood.

I’m sure the new version will be PC!

They’ll have black, gay and bisexual Wolverines. The leader of the Wolverines will most likely be a bisexual female, who get knocked up and has to find a Planned Parenthood clinic, where she converts totally to the Marist ideaology.

Patrick Swayze is already spinning over this.

Will they replace the guns with walkie-talkies or cellphones?

Gee, it would have been far more realistic if the enemy troops had been a mix of ACORN “organizers,” muslims (plenty of extras for that up there in MoTown) and Obama’s Brown Shirts.

Maybe they can recut it later...

I hate that term...

But I think that’s probably what they’ll go for. Just like they made the terrorists in “Sum of All Fears” into right-wing corporatists rather than Islamists, they’ll probably make the bad guys in this right wing as well.

this time, the bad guys will be nazi skinhead racist bitter Christian evilmongering teabaggers leading red state militia trying to takeover the blue states

maybe they will be casting senior citizens as paratroopers
short haired male white people encouraged to apply as extras

My guess is that the invaders will be the Town Hall protesters and Tea Party participants.

And the Wolverines will win the war, set up an ACORN office and receive free health care and government funding for life.

The new Wolverines will disarm the enemy with apologies and take total blame for them attacking us.

This heavy-on-special-effects movie filled with graphic violence, hundreds mowed down and huge explosions, will never match the original version. For a “B” movie, Red Dawn actually worked very well, with a nice message, and a cast that developed true chemistry. The kids really made you feel like they grew up together.

A new Red Dawn will be like a new Time Machine — a cornucopia of violent special effects and no movie to support it.

That said, if a miracle occurs and they actually try to include a plot, characters and dialogue, rather than subordinate all that to the special effects, it could be a great movie.

I know it will suck.
