And the Red Dawn remake just got interesting.
Latino Review is reporting that screenwriter and director Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton, the Bourne series) is rewriting MGM/UA’s Red Dawn remake. The film is scheduled to begin filming in September under the direction of Dan Bradley, the Second Unit director on the Bourne films.
The remake was drafted by Carl Ellsworth and Jeremy Passmore, based on the original 1984 film. The film follows a group of teenagers after their hometown is invaded by Chinese and Russian troops. You can watch the folks at Latino Review giving their take on the earlier draft here.
Red Dawn stars Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck and Adrianne Palicki. It’s scheduled for release September 24, 2010.
How does Tony Gilroy penning the script change your perception of the remake? Is Red Dawn a film that can have any resonance today?
