The poster and trailer for Red Dawn (2012) has been released! This is one remake I’m not too torn up about because while the original has it’s selling points, I have no attachment to the film. Even though I’d like to see Hollywood think outside of the remake box, this film packs some great acting chops with stars Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Adrianne Palicki, Josh Peck, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. In it, a group of teens find themselves fighting to save their town from an invasion by North Korea.
Wolverines! The Wolverines will claw their way into theaters November 21, 2012.

I think they dropped the ball from one potential character arc that to me seemed obvious. They should’ve casted a “Chinese-American” with the Wolverines , plus seeing that it takes place in Seattle , it would’ve made sense anyways. The conflict such a character would have , making the decision to kill Chinese soldiers and then having his own friends question him based on his ethnicity would’ve been some good drama lol amirite?!
I think the Brat Pack version might still have this one.
