This looks really awesome, I'm looking forward to this, I loved Red Dawn and Freedom Fighters, so I'm expecting this to be enjoyable.

also, gotta love the propaganda posters.
Heard about this a while ago. Sounds interesting. I doubt that they'll do it right, though.
Can't be much worse than the original.
The original was awesome, regardless of how cheesy the plot was.
I'm hoping this remake will be a lot more realistic.

I hope they put small-time actors, or actors we've never heard of into the main roles.
Also, knowing modern Hollywood they'll make the Chinese extremely sympathetic and find a way for us to say, "Can't we just get along?"
Let me get this straight
They invaded
[B][I]Detroit?[/i][/b]
Pretty cool although communism won't work in the US unless if it's reduced to a 2nd or 3rd world country.

Who in their right mind would want to invade Detroit of all places?

Detroit [i]is[/i] a third world country.
I heard about this, then completely forgot about it. I just hope Hollywood doesn't fuck it up like they are so good at doing.

I doubt it. In the original the communists started doing mass executions to demoralize the rebels.
Oh god, I remember when I was a lot younger than I am today, Red Dawn was on TV, it was awesome :D
Must watch again... *Shuffles off*
They'll force us to eat wongtong soup and enjoy Manhua Anime
Looks good but I don't like the Chinese american flag. Hammer and sickles being planted everywhere would look a bit better.
If you're Asian and live in Michigan...You just got a job.
They'll probably show the Chinese as mindless executioners and the Americans as the righteous protectors of freedom.
Still, might be cool if it's not another generic boring hollywood action type.

You must remember that was set in 1984, when Ronald Reagan, a virulent Republican was president, which reflected the Conservative, patriotic tendencies of the time.
How would a movie meant to show patriotic, republican values in a republican dominated era be translated into a movie more palatable for Liberal, Democratic people in a Democrat dominated era? During a recession no less? I'd be surprised if people don't get slightly sympathetic for the Chinese Invaders, who spout that they are trying to save our nation and our economy, I'd also doubt they'd show, in this day and age, the Chinese performing full-blown mass executions or anything serious like that, in fact I doubt they'll demonize the Chinese at all.
Furthermore, let's not forget Hollywood has gotten EXCESSIVELY liberal in the past 20 years.

Doubtful, knowing Hollywood.

...unless your parents came from Hong Kong and Taiwan. (Movie setting-wise) Then the PLA arrest you for being capitalist traitors.
Also, I'll love to see how China forms an American style expeditionary force to invade the US with in such a short amount of time. (2010?)
It's not set from now to 2010.
Red alliance! Ura!!!
so it's kinda like world in conflict
Part of this was filmed right around where I live, I'm excited.
[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;18168675]so it's kinda like world in conflict[/QUOTE]
Except it's about kids who singlehandedly defeat an entire company of elite Eastern Bloc special forces.
I'm fucking pumped for it :3
I adored the first movie can't wait to see what they do in this new one!
Fuck yea, Michigan!
It's be cool as hell if it's filmed near Grand Rapids.

Where do you live?
:q:
Detroit and Baltimore would probably be the hardest cities to take if there here was an invasion.
[QUOTE=protoAuthor;18160752]WHY?
Why would this movie need a remake? It was perfect![/QUOTE]
hey protoAuthor! I know you adore this film.
Why does Hollywood need to remake everything?
