Ah, ah. I remember that flick from the 80's. That was grade C movie. They can't do any worst with the remake. Let's wait and see.

[joshh]

Red Dawn was a great movie.
I don't see with the way Hollywood is now days that it's going to be any better.

[der affe]

will the russian/cubans be social democrats led my the evil General Obama and Major Pelosi?

At least they won't have to spend much money on the set. Oooooo, too soon? Seriously though, that movie was awful. Is hollywood really that hard-up for material these days?

[PootieTang]

there had better be a roadhouse remake too

[Farbin Kaiber]

I don't know if you guys see but they are jumpstarting Hollywood with second generation actors, there will be more and more stuff coming out with this batch of second or third gen'ers.

The Cruise in that list is Tom and Nicole Kidman's birthin'.

[M42Technik]

Oh HELL yeah I love that movie. And now I can love it that much more because the remake will suck that hard.

[Farbin Kaiber]

The original Red Dawn, and Wall Street are two of my fave old 80's movies, and they are both gonna be redone/sequel in the next year or so.

What's really fucked up is kids don't even know it.
I had to argue with my 12 year old daughter that Modern English's "I'll melt with you" song was a fucking remake. I'm 36 years old baby, do you think I'm making that shit up? Although it's music it's a similar thing.

The remakes tend to be liked more just because they are current. Sadly they are not usually as well done.

the guy was adopted by Cruise and Kidman
