I wonder if a remake would have a different ending or if they'd stick to the same one?

That was a good scene Luc and showed what difficult decisions people have to make during war.

I liked that scene where Charlie Sheen's character tells the girl to wash the dishes......then acts surprised by her reaction

I reckon it may differ slightly but I hope they keep it similar to the first in the sense that the whole film is just centered around a single area and the kids fighting a geurilla war..if they made it bigger showing a WW3 I think it may ruin the original concept ..besides if it was successful they could perhaps follow the survivors as they perhaps fight later in the bigger war

And yeah that was a good scene aswell

I should imagine they'd keep it set in a small town cause that has more of an impact and seems more real.........kind of like an "it could happen to you" type scenario.

I'm curious to see if any of the actors from the original will make a guest appearance too.

Yeah I actually think there may be a possibilty of that now....any one could play the parents parts now....maybe one could play the old army guy that helps them

I just read this.....All sounds very promising

Screenwriter Carl Ellsworth ("Red Eye," "Disturbia") has been hired to pen MGM's remake of the 1984 homeland invasion thriller "Red Dawn" says The Hollywood Reporter.

The John Milius-directed original dealt with a World War III invasion of America by the Soviets and Cubans, and followed a group of Midwestern teenagers who take on their high school mascot name -- "Wolverines!" -- as a rallying cry of resistance.

The new version will updated to post-9/11 contemporary times. "Bourne Ultimatum" and "Quantum of Solace" second unit director Dan Bradle will helm the new version which was first announced at Cannes in May.

I wonder who'll be doing the invading this time round if it's set post 9/11?

Could be China maybe aided by certain middle eastern crowds...I'm guessing that the American and probably all of the western countries economies have crashed and things aren't going well before the invasion..... Well thats my best guess

You have a knack of predicting the right things so you could be right Luc

Carl Ellsworth said this...."As Red Dawn scared the heck out of people in 1984, we feel that the world is kind of already filled with a lot of paranoia and unease. So why not scare the hell out of people again?"

I reckon it'll be excellent
