Is Red Dawn the movie being remade?
Josh Hutcherson spoke to MTV about his latest acting gig, the remake of 1984’s Red Dawn. Hutcherson claims they “blew up all of downtown Detroit last week.” We shot a scene where where we blew the face off this giant building. It was a giant, probably 200-foot high mushroom cloud of flames engulfing downtown Detroit! That was really cool. The original Red Dawn was also violent, despite having a young cast including Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, and Lea Thompson. Hutcherson plays a character “based on C. Thomas Howell’s character, Robert” that is “sort of a tech guy” that, by the end of the movie, becomes “a total warrior, drinking blood from the animals and going crazy.” Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, and Isabel Lucas round out the cast. The experience is clearly one that Hutcherson is enjoying. Everybody’s loving it and loving the new story line. We’ve changed up quite a bit of stuff. The Chinese are invading now, instead of the Russians. But the heart of the movie is there, and that’s
Red Dawn is a 1984 American war film directed and co-written by John Milius and written by Kevin Reynolds. The film is set in an alternate timeline during the mid-1980s, and deals with an invasion of the United States by the Soviet Union and its Central American allies. However, the onset of World War III is merely in the background of the plot and not fully elaborated upon. The story follows a group of American high school students who resist their foreign occupiers through guerrilla warfare and call themselves the Wolverines, after their high school mascot. Red Dawn was the first movie in film history to be released in the US with a Motion Picture Association of America PG-13 rating.[1] At one time, Red Dawn was considered the most violent film by the Guinness Book of Records and The National Coalition on Television Violence, with a rate of 134 acts of violence per hour, or 2.23 per minute.[2] National Review Online has named the film #15 in its list of ‘The Best Conservative Movies’
