For those reading about the remake of Red Dawn (and the brewing outrage over it in China!) in the Daily News or the Hollywood Reporter or the Global Times or Reuters or the New Yorker or elsewhere, Abe Sauer's original piece on the film, with excerpts from the script, can be found here.
Speaking of brewing outrage, the Chinese are only getting a 10% cut on sales of the Red Dawn Lager that Rutger Hauer is always seen enjoying in the film.
If you remake Red Dawn in 2010, the enemy needs to have some terrorist connection. Why would China (a trade partner) invade us?
this means Barack Obama is The Manchurian Candidate! Oh my god! His mother is Angela Lansbury and/or Meryl Streep!
I loved her in Star Wars.
You know why "DIstrict 9" was great? Sci-fi film that has a basic premise tied into apartheid.
This "Red Dawn" seems like kitsch nostalgia and not much else.
I would propose 'People's Republic of Knifecrime' going forward, 'cause they're giving England a run for its money.
