This Thanksgiving, the fight begins at Dawn. There's your tagline for the new Red Dawn remake, which is finally getting revealed/released this year. The trailer is finally premiering tomorrow (Friday), but in the meantime, Open Road/MGM have debuted the official poster, which isn't as creative as I was hoping. Yahoo has the poster, which shows the new Wolverines: Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Josh Peck, Adrianne Palicki and Isabel Lucas. This poster is a bit too obviously patriotic, with a random flag in the background. Where is the dawn like the original poster? Don't screw this up now, we're so close! See below.
A group of teenagers living in America look to save their town from an invasion of North Korean soldiers.
Red Dawn (2012) is directed by longtime stunt-man turned second unit director (Quantum of Solace, MI: Ghost Protocol, The Bourne Legacy) turned director Dan Bradley, making his feature debut with this film. The screenplay, based on the story by Kevin Reynolds, was written by Carl Ellsworth (Red Eye, Disturbia, Last House on the Left) and Jeremy Passmore (The Cleaner). This was filmed back in 2009, but delayed and the villain altered. Open Road Films is finally releasing Red Dawn in theaters on November 21st this fall.

That was an Australian film called Tomorrow, When the War Began and it was not a Red Dawn remake, but it did share an identical premise.

Are you referring to Tomorrow When the War Began? It was a book before it was the movie, but very similar to Red Dawn -- but in Australia.

North Korea, eh? They are pretty scary (sarcasm). I think they might invade Great Britain for real after the flag fiasco in the Olympics. Seriously, though, this film is going to suck like many films have sucked before.

I saw the Red Dawn trailer before Total Recall last night. It looked fun enough, probably like Total Recall. Fun, action-packed adventure. Not expecting anything with much depth. And North Korea in place of China (which was the original enemy) is probably the biggest disappointment. The original Red Dawn was great, because Russia really was a threat -- Americans actually worried about Russian parachuting into their town. While China isn't there yet, a lot of people do fear their rapid rise, and China is on it's way to being a potential, real threat.

So they got Thor, Josh, and FireHouse Dog to be America's hope against Korean's? In the words of Captain Ron "We are all gonna fuckin' die!"

Why didnt they just do what "Tomorrow when the war began" did and make it non-descript asian soldiers? Just dont mention China by name
