Yep, said so on IMDB so it must be true. No idea who's been cast, but the storyline is quite a bit more plausible than the original's. (You all WERE alive when the original came out, weren't you?) Instead of fighting Cubans and commie South Americans, this time the Wolverines are fighting off a Chinese invasion. Since there really is gonna be such a thing, it's more prophecy than escapism. The thing is, the first one was a fun little bit of silliness. "WOLVERIIIIINES!!" was the battle cry of everyone in '84, at least those who weren't yelling "Who ya gonna call?" So, if they cast it properly, and make it fairly realistic, it could very well be a great remake. (I Never thought I'd see such a thing!) But if they don't, it'll be dreck on par with Invasion USA or Twilight. I guess time will tell. |

I've never heard of this movie. It was before my time and I'm terrible when it comes to pop culture. :rolleyes: |

Hm. I don't know either of those actors. Though they'd have to be young, thus making them strangers to me. I guess I'd give it a chance, just to see if they capture the fun of the original. Kyle, you're lucky. Never seen Red Dawn, go and rent it, or buy from the bargain bin, which is likely cheaper. Good way to kill a couple of hours. |
