Connor Cruise (son of Tom Cruise) who made his big screen debut in last winter's "Seven Pounds."-joins Josh Hutcherson, Edwin Hodge, and Isabel Lucas the Red Dawn. remake says EW via the trades.
The original 1984 John Milius-directed action drama sets up the Cold War scenario of a US invaded by Soviet and Cuban troops. A bunch of Colorado high school students decide to wage their own guerrilla warfare against the invaders.
The update sees Hutcherson as the geeky communications specialist Robert, Cruise plays his best friend and the son of the mayor, Hodge is the 'cool kid' football jock of the school, and Lucas plays the school's head cheerleader who is put into an internment camp.
The 4 pack join the already cast actors Chris Hemsworth (the-man-who will play-Thor), Josh Peck ("Drillbit Taylor," "The Wackness"), and Adrianne Palicki .
In a "Six Degrees" moment Hemsworth and Lucas will be reunited from their days in 2004 on the Aussie TV soap "Home and Away" and eventually became romantically involved from 2005 to 2006.
Dan Bradley is directing the Red redux from a screenplay by Jeremy Passmore and Carl Ellsworth. which is scheduled for release September 24th 2010.
