The new Red Dawn movie is approaching, we have some details on the remake of this 80′s classic. The delay has been huge for this movie since MGM went broke after production had started on this new Red Dawn movie.
Red Dawn 2011
In the new Red Dawn Movie, the plot remains the same, but the enemy is different now. A group of teenagers look to save their town from an invasion of North Korean soldiers. This is a remake of the original Red Dawn film from 1984 that has had a huge cult following after all these years. Just to clarify, this isn’t Red Dawn 2, but.,. a remake of the original movie with North Korea the enemy, and not Russia, or China as previously was in the script.
Update : MGM is changing the villains in Red Dawn from Chinese to North Korean in order to stay in the Chinese good books, and perform in the box office over there. Plus, China owns most of the United States assets, so why piss them off?
Red Dawn 2011 Trailer
This fan made one is as close as I got right now, but its well done and features clips from the new Red Dawn movie. Obviously the first trailer above is of the original film, but hey.. Jennifer Grey was hot. Speaking of ‘hot’ , did you know Adrianne Palicki is also the new Wonder Woman, as well as a Wolverine? Is she one of the hottest women in hollywood? Yes, she is.
Red Dawn Release Date
Fall 2011 – This remake keeps getting delayed, but we are told its still a 2011 release.

Interesting Fact
sometime I leave the bar and yell ‘WOLVERINES’ for a reaction. People from the ages of 35 and beyond, get it, the rest of you look at me like I’m an insane idiot. Jokes on you!
The Good
- The original Red Dawn was really good, not that it holds up that well today. However, the plot was really interesting at the time, sort of unique for the 80′s. Also, watching the kids transform from typical 80′s kids to military warriors was cool, at least back then.
- Adrianne Palicki – She is going to be my wife one day, and she doesn’t even know it. Why doesn’t Palicki get more roles, every movie should have a hot blonde, right?
The Bad
Remaking Red Dawn, really? Why? We just know too much about how an ‘invasion’ would be stopped, so the plot isn’t really exciting anymore. Had the new Red Dawn movie taken place in Canada, I’d believe it, but not on US soil. Maybe I’m just being picky about this Red Dawn remake.
Red Dawn Pictures
Mark,
I agree, and for all the reasons you mentioned! What was Hollywood thinking? Or were they thinking? This is so typical of the politically correct crap comming out of the left coast these days.
I’m excited and bummed @ the same time…. excited cause I grew up with that movie and can’t wait ta c wat they do with this. And bummed cause I live in spokane Washington and it Jus some b the same considering its my hometown. It shoulda bn filmed here to begin wit. We’ve got the scenery for it and no place is like spokane!!
Well the folks at MGM just decided to change the villians from
the Chinese to the north koreans..even though the film is already
finished. MGM will spend over a million + to change it up. I think
this is so stupid. Its obvious that MGM is kissing the asses of
communist China with this move. Very bad PR MGM. The majority of
people in the US who were interested in seeing this film wont see it now. Do you really expect us to go see a film about North Korea
invading the US. North Korea is poor, there navy is weak, there army is no joke, but lets be honest they cant even invade south korea. Ok I admit even with China it was a bit of a stretch, but
everyone knows China is a military and economic power that is only getting stronger. For a movie such as Red Dawn China playing the role as invaders makes much more sense. China actually has a navy
that will have a few carriers in a few years. MGM should just release two versions of the film, release it as is in the US and
the North korean version in China. Otherwise just forget it and send it straight to DVD because it will be a boxoffice dud.
i remember going to the theater seeing red dawn an how it made me fill more proude of being an american. i look foreward to seeing someones elses view of the movie
I think this remake will be good. On the red dawn 2010 website there is alot of pictures and stories about the filming taking place in and around Detroit Michigan, which in the movie will double as Spokane, Washington.
Hope there is a “In Memory Of” Patrick Swayze in the credits. “In Memory Of” and then have the picture of Swayze as Jed w the rifle(watch the credits of the original).
I hope so as well Thomas, that old movie brings back good memories of a young Swayze.
