I was eating lunch today, reading through a local Tampa newspaper, the Tampa Bay Times (TBT). It had a little blurb about production on a modern day Red Dawn remake. I don't know if anybody has already posted on this or whether or not this is common knowledge now. I know a lot of folks here loved the first one, so I thought I'd post this for you. This newspaper is known for being sarcastic and a little 'edgy.' I say this because the article kind of portrays the remake as a bad idea. I didn't want people to think that I was bashing it or anything. Here ya' go:

Or, check out the article here, at the online archive of today's paper:

Sounds like the writer is pissed he/she didnt get invited to play the first time.

This should be very intersting. Looking forward to it. Hope they have a budget.

Hollywood has run out of brains, so they are eating themselves.

This sucks.

DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL ?


IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T EFFIN' EVEN TRY TO FIX IT!

 

[cigolon]

that could be good... or really really bad. hopefully its the former.

 

[DoubleTap]

Given Hollywood's track record on remakes, I fear for this movie! :roll:

 

[crazychris]

i'd see ,no matter how bad it was

 

[nalioth]

i'd see ,no matter how bad it was

The very reason why Hollywood keeps cranking these clinkers out...

 

[Kenelm52]

I can't see them not fucking it up... I really hope they don't.

I waiting for Hot Fuzz II myself. :mrgreen:

I will totally give up on Hollywood when they make the movie, "Gilligan's Island". "Lost In Space" nearly sent me. Those shows were terrible back in the day, what would make them acceptable now? Original Ideas are nonexistent these days.

 

[dale914]

you know, I am sure that I will watch it and that I will love it, I am certain that it will be terrible, and I'm certain that's why I'll love it... One needs to apreciate the terribleness of some movies.
WAIT disclaimer: I promise to love it only if it features Russians, I promise nothing, but hope for the best if it's anyone else.

 

[malkuth]

I have no faith in Hollywood, and they will mess up a good movie. Yet again.

Why can't they just leave it alone? Why can't they come up with an Original idea?

This movie will suck.

 

[Blanco_Diablo]

Personally, I can't WAIT!!!! 2010!?!?! That SUCKS! But I will definitely watch this movie.

I just hope it's the Russians again!! And plenty of AKs..maybe some Krinkovs

 

[JoeMomma]

Hollywood is running out of ideas.

 

[Glock Holiday]

Watch them cast Gary Busey or Cory Feldman....

 

[O.C. 4 U]

Hollywood will fuck it up.
Don't get me wrong; I'd love to see a (good) remake set in the modern day. But with the record of flop remakes that have come out recently, they ought to leave well enough alone.

 

[Kalash]

I'm sure it will feature the People's Republic of China since they are still "RED", not Russia. Good or bad, I'll watch it for the weapons. :twisted:
