Red Dawn Remake Pics

Open Road Films has begun the promo push for Red Dawn with the debut of two new photos from Dan Bradley upcoming remake of the 1984 cult classic via USA Today.



Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, and Josh Peck are in the photos preparing to battle invading North Korean soldiers.

Carl Ellsworth, Jeremy Passmore wrote the updated script off the original by director John Milius and Kevin Reynolds

Shot back in 2009, the film underwent post-production digital alterations to change the bad guys from the Chinese to North Koreans.

Hutcherson explains the change: "Originally it was the Chinese, and then there was the thought that the Chinese own most of the companies making movies and that maybe it wasn't the best idea in the world."

One scene from the original involving an ambush is said to have been recreated- "There's the spider-trap moment when we just appear out of the ground. Red Dawn fans are going to be blown out by it" says Peck.

Isabel Lucas, Adrianne Palicki, Brett Cullen, Connor Cruise, Edwin Hodge, Alyssa Diaz Julian Alcaraz, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan also star.

Beau Flynn, Tripp Vinson, and Vincent Newman produced the film

The film finally opens in theaters on November 21st.
