New version of RED DAWN.

[bthest86]

If they stick to the story I'd look for a Chinese invasion with the Chi-Coms getting assistance from the middle east or 1MM+ Muslim middle easterners that are already in this country.

Yes! A modern day Birth of a Nation!

 

[nerfsrule2]

do u think the invaders will be man-bear-pigs?

Yes I Do!! South Park all the way!!!!!

 

[Ian Sean]

So...which current day left wing actor do we want to see play the Mayor's kid.

 

[Pilot]

Maybe it will be named "Brokeback Dawn"?

 

[strangelittleman]

I like "The Family Guy" Peter Griffin's Musical Red Dawn.....

 

[GEM]

All the WalMarts turn into giant robots and stomp on Targets for the first wave of the Chinese conquest.

 

[Dravur]

and now....

the Movie Event of 2010....

CHARTREUSE DAWN!​

<cue announcer voice>

in a small midwestern town, life is about to change.

<cue music>

Life was peaceful for the evil bankers and businessmen stealing the wealth from the lowly townspeople. When over the horizon comes planes carrying Chinese troops, there to liberate the hapless workers from their fate!.

A small group of terrorists band together, taking on the moniker of the local sports team, and the "Politically Correct Evil White Men" are born!

This band of Terrorists, PCEWM take on the communist liberators in epic battles and in the final scene are massacred by the townspeople as they cry out to their great god Capitalism.

Of course, they don't burn the bodies, as they could cause Global Warming.

In the end, the whole town is composted, Al Gore throws the final clump of dirt on the town, flies off in his rented jumbo jet..

See it today in a Theatre near you!

Don't forget to bring a can of food for the homeless....

<end Music?

Several folks called this one earlier. Looks like we'll be invaded by the Chi-Coms with a little help from the Russians in the remake. Full story here.

Red Dawn is very high on my list of all-time favorites and I have trouble believing a remake will live up to the original. You can't recreate the cast and you certainly can't recreate the Cold War atmosphere of the mid-80s that permeated the entire country. I would much rather see this "remake" completed as a stand-alone project with separate title and no reference to the 1984 version. That being said, I will go see it, if nothing more than curiosity. Can Hollywood produce a movie that doesn't have a blatant leftist slant to it? Likewise, I'm curious to see the film adaptation of Atlas Shrugged.

Interestingly enough, IMDB indicates that Milius is one of the screenwriters of the remake is John Milius, the director and co-writer of the original. That certainly raises my interest level, as Milius is one of the few pro-gun folks in Hollywood. By the way, the release date is scheduled for 9/24/10.

The U.S. could have some devastating natural disaster, or a terrorist attack on major U.S. cities using nuclear weapons, there would be major kaos in the country, where as the U.S. government would call upon the U.N. to help restore law and order, and U.N. troops would come in, but instead of being peacekeepers, they would be invaders, destroying any resistance to their plan to finally take over the United States, but the armed American resistance movement fights back against U.N. occupation.

Plausable.

I saw Red Dawn when I was in high school, and have never been in a theater since then where people reacted so strongly, and loudly to what was on the screen, but I grew up in a time when "the Russians were the enemy and were just waiting to attack" being an army brat we lived this nightmare every day. I remember my Mother sitting up all night smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee when Dad would get that ALERT ONE call at 2:00am, and it actually started me on the path to financial ruin that is gun collecting and preparing for when the SHTF. I almost hate to admit that a movie affected me so strongly but if you were a teenager when it was released you probably "know what I mean".

I can't imagine a full on invasion of the U.S. by any foriegn nation or group of nations having much success, BUT we have "citizens" here who would jump at the chance to help some nations bring us around to thier way of thinking.
I see that a few posters cited The Postman as one of thier favorite "post apocolyptic" movies, and it did have it's moments, although IMO too few for a movie that loooooong. I just felt cheated at the end because I have always invisioned what a mounted cavalry battle with automatic weapons would look like on film, not that I would ever involve myself in such suicidal lunacy.
I just hope that they do it right, doubtfull but we can hope.


This is this! It's not something else, it's this!

Don't pull it if you don't plan to use it, and don't use it if you don't plan to kill! (get over it!)

ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR MEN AND WOMEN OVER THERE.

Despite the fact this somehow slipped through the cracks a year ago, The High Road is not a movie discussion forum.
