Kurt Russell in-Talks for "Red Dawn" Remake

Why dear god, why? One of the films of my youth that I totally despise. And they want a remake? Who invades the US of A this time? Charlie and his Oompaloompas?

Ha ha I like how they put random movies in paranthesis after an actor's name. I'm sure that wasn't his top selling movie, and you don't even need to show a movie he's been in, I mean come on, who doesn't know who Kurt Russell is?

I have no idea what this is about, but Chris Hemsworth is starting to make a name for himself! good on him!

Jeez Minkowski is there any movie that you are looking forward to seeing?
Loved the original...not looking forward to the remake.

YEA MINK WHATDO U LIKE?

He liked Platoon, but, of course he hates Oliver Stone. Hating Red Dawn is down right unpatriotic! What kind of childhood did you have Mink?

Kurt was in a movie with Elvis... that's good enough for me. Although, I will side with Mink. I saw Red Dawn once (100 years ago), and that was enough. Is Hollywood really that short on new, original ideas (like we have to ask?!)? This remake has no need (unlike RoboCop with that will benefit from 21st century special effects, and the first movie was a classic (yeah, we all know ALL the sequels sucked farts)). The Cold War threat is long since dead. Sure, make Red Dawn again... go straight to DVD and be done. I don't think Mink here is much the problem as Hollywood's clear lack of direction.

I hated 'Red Dawn'. If all the powerful countries banded together and attacked the U.S., the U.S. would logically lose!

It was all patriotic propaganda made during the cold war anyways.

It would only take China, as they have funded MOST of the $11.5+ trilion $ debt Bush spent in Iraq. They'd cut off that funding... military runs out of funds... done deal. And such an conventional attack would never happen. It would be carried out by ICBM's that go orbital that NORAD CAN track (now), but with the Doomsday Programs in effect... even dead the US - nuke resistant silos would still fire eliminating their attacker. So it's lose-lose for any country. Yeah, the original movie could play on the Cold War... it would just suck now unless they REALLY revamped the story, but I don't think Hollywood either has the brains or cares to put in the effort.

There's some things that should be left alone, people are fine with 'Red Dawn', including myself. When I say I 'hate' something, I mean that I don't give a sh*t about it either way, and this is one of those things.

Instead of remaking movies, Hollywood should just bring out the picture quality and put it back in theaters, they would save a f*cking sh*t ton of money and would gain a profit off of a few thousand dollars.

why oh why would you remake Red Dawn? its a perfect classic as is! oh but its because its goddamn Hollywood -

WOLVERINES!!

I would think obviously he'd be playing the dad AVENGE ME!!!!!

there doesnt need to be an invasion to conquer america...all china needs to do is foreclose...that will take 15 minutes...china then owns the country...end of movie

Yep... pretty much the same way they made Japan and Germany sign those papers to stay out of wars... now they both kick our ass financially.
