So anyone around here who was fucking alive in America during the Cold War should know what Red Dawn was. A movie about the USSR invading the USA. Russians parachute over a small U.S. town, Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen kick ass and take names. The good guys yell WOLVERINES! It was the best thing to ever come out of the Cold War.
And now it's getting a remake, for better or for worse. Personally I am excited as hell.
Red Dawn 2010 will be a modern remake of Red Dawn. Taking place in modern day, post Cold-War, the US will be invaded not by the USSR but instead by the People's Liberation Army of China, presumably because we defaulted on our loans. The film began shooting in September 2009 and is slated for a 2010 release.
Thus far not many details have been released, but the propaganda created for the film is spine-chillingly awesome.

They should put flags up on some important buildings, that would get noticed.

I wonder if in the remake, the kid in the middle will wear an Avatar hat.
I've watched this 100 times on G4 in the last few days, good movie.
I hope this is good. The original is a pretty cool movie.
trivia: jeff buckley cried during this movie
Seriously though, I hope it turns out good.
Way too many shitty remakes as of late.
I haven't seen the original. I'll get around to watching it some time because I've heard great things about it.
Anyway, I [b]love[/b] this kind of marketing for movies. The marketing for District 9 was awesome, too. Shit like this makes me happy in the pants.

If propaganda (real or not) is eliciting this sort of response then I fear it may be too late.
Why would the filmmakers use the PLA insignia instead of the actual PRC flag? That's like saying if the US Marines invaded and occupied a country they would stick their red Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem everywhere instead of the US flag.
This movie is being filmed in my home town. They blew up a house for the filming and I drove by and saw it the day after. Also the fat kid from Drake and Josh is gonna be in it.
Time to kill some China-men. :clint:
The Original Red Dawn:
Before starting work on the movie, the cast underwent a realistic intensive eight-week military training course. During that time, production crews designed and built special combat vehicles in Newhall, California. Among their "army" were 15 Soviet armored vehicles (including a ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" mobile antiaircraft gun, several T-72 main battle tanks, and various BMP, BMD and BTR armored personnel carriers), several Yak-38 "Forger" vertical take-off and landing Soviet Naval aircraft (the Soviet Navy flag is clearly visible on the side of the air intake), and three Mi-24 "Hind-A" helicopter gunships (improvised from Aérospatiale Pumas). Soldier Of Fortune magazine reported that the movie's Soviet T-72 tank was such a precise replica that "while it was being carted around Los Angeles, two CIA officers followed it to the studio and wanted to know where it had come from".
Five of the 36 parachutists who took part in the invasion scene early in the film were injured when high winds blew them as far as one mile off target. Parachutist Jim Fisher, wearing a Soviet paratrooper uniform including full Soviet insignia and including an AKM Assault Rifle, landed in a tree and found himself calling out to local rescuers including armed citizens and police: "Don’t shoot, don’t shoot! I am not a Russian soldier!"

Avoiding something like that I imagine.
Always wanted to know if they did a military course in the original, because while the movie is cheesy, those are some pretty cool ambush scenes.
Hopefully it won't suck like a majority of "re-makes" these days.
They should remake[I] The Day After[/I]

It was the inspiration for Red Dawn (John Milius got mad and made a more conservative movie)

What
wow this could be the best viral marketing theres ever been. i too am quite stoked.
They should post these everywhere and have a fake "occupation" of certain cities.
Hope the movie is good and they don't do they "War is bad." type of speech. Should just be American's killing some china men.
Well given the entire point of the original Red Dawn was fighting a hopeless war in which a guy got his little brother killed and failed completely in resistance, I'd say it'll have some undertone.
The Soviets won in the end of Red Dawn, but in the end Colonel Bella lost faith in the cause after seeing his men killing children and let the last two living Wolverines escape to die in peace.
I heard somewhere on these forums that it'll take place in Detroit. Let us pray this is not the truth.
