Apparently they are making a new red dawn if you remember Red Dawn was when soviet and Cuban forces in Colorado. The remake is now Russian and Chinese forces. The filming is taking place in Detroit Michigan, Grand Ledge Michigan, Harper woods Michigan, Mt. Clemens Michigan, Pontiac Michigan, and Royal Oak Michigan,. As you can see it will probity take place in Michigan. the website i got this information off of is http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1234719/

The movie is already shot.. click on the IMDB link and it will show you the cast.. my buddy worked on it. I'll see if I can get more info.

Chris Hemsworth is the lead.. he's going to play Thor and he was also George Kirk in the remake Star Trek

And the new Wonder Woman Adrianne Palicki is the lead woman

A worrying name for an actor...

I knew a Chris Hemsworth once but he was asked to leave the company after what was apparently (technically) an assault on the tachnical director.

A different person, obviously!

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

Chris has come along way from being a beefcake on an Australian soap opera!

It looks good.  Yeah, I hope they have the depth of character development they had in the original.

This movie has had a ton of ups and downs and some drastic changes.  After filming they changed the invaders from the Chinese to North Koreans.  How they expect us to believe that North Korea could invade the United States is beyond me.  Read up on it below...

They've got to be kidding!

QuoteIn March 2011, the Los Angeles Times reported that MGM changed the villains in its Red Dawn remake from Chinese to North Korean in order to maintain access to China's lucrative box office. The changes reportedly cost less than $1 million and involve changing an opening sequence summarizing the story's fictional backdrop, re-editing two scenes and using digital technology to transform many Chinese symbols to Korean. The film's producer Trip Vinson stated, "We were initially very reluctant to make any changes, but after careful consideration we constructed a way to make a scarier, smarter and more dangerous Red Dawn that we believe improves the movie.

I think if they kept the invaders chinese, there may be some fall out from it...

Who cares? What fallout was there from the Russians and Cubans being the invaders in the original. It's just not nearly as believable now.
