Red Dawn date?

[1Admin]

Anyone have the date for when the new Red Dawn movie comes out? For some reason I thought I marked the calendar and it was right after Thanksgiving, but I guess I didn't.

Any word or insight on how this one will be? God I hope they don't butcher it.... I can see it now-

"Crazy Tea Party activists take over the United States. One brave group of teenagers led by a gay black man head up the resistance......."

PLEASE God, don't let hollyweird butcher this movie.

Anyone know if Millius is involved in this one?

Its not. Production was cancelled and it has been shelved for now.

Dag nabit. Too bad, maybe someone else we know who has some video skills should do their own version of it...hint hint :)

More info then you really want to know, but Hawkeye appears to be right on target

From an un-official Red Dawn site

We officially launched this site one year ago today and very quickly became the main source of publicity and news for Red Dawn. I just want to thank everyone for making this site successful. I know things have been a little slow right now and everyone wants this film to hit theaters soon. We now have to wait till next year, but I promise when it does get an official release date we will announce it here. We will also be doing all kinds of fun stuff here to prep for the release.

Has the Red Dawn Remake Become Another Casualty of MGM’s Mess?

Wolver—!!!! Whoa, whoa, not so fast there, kids. At least, not if MGM doesn’t get its **** together very soon, anyway. As with “The Hobbit” films and the Bond movies, the fate of Dan Bradley’s directorial debut, the remake of “Red Dawn” currently hangs in limbo, all thanks to MGM’s money woes. Although the film itself has been in production for a while now up North, the current news is that the film’s initial November release date has disappeared in a puff of smoke, and the remake has now been cast into the land of TBA — To Be Announced.

The remake, which stars Chris Hemsworth as a Middle East war vet who returns home only to discover that the Communist Chinese have teamed up with the Russkies to invade the homeland, recently came under fire by some Chinese media about its portrayal of China as the film’s main villains. That, basically, guarantees that you can forget about China and Hong Kong as potential markets for the film. Of course, considering MGM’s current financial straits, the Chinese is the last thing the film should worry about at the moment.

“Red Dawn” stars a list of notable young actors, including Hemsworth, Adrianne Palicki (recently in “Legion”), Josh Peck, Josh Hutcherson
, Isabel Lucas, and Connor Cruise, son of Tom. It also marks the directorial debut of Bradley, who has done second unit work on the “Bourne” films
, and word had him bringing the same kind of kinetic shooting style to his remake.

MGM: 'Red Dawn' Remake Still Slated for November

So, has MGM's "Red Dawn" remake been shelved or not?

The L.A. Times says yes; TheWrap is being told no by the studio.

According to a report in the Times Friday morning, Dan Bradley's redo of John Milius' 1984 original is in the can but has been delayed indefinitely from its scheduled Nov. 24 release due to MGM's uncertain future.

But when TheWrap contacted the studio, its head of marketing, Mike Vollman, was adamant the the movie is "still dated for Nov. 24." He had no comment regarding the Times report besides pointing out that it didn't quote anyone from MGM.

If "Red Dawn" has, in fact, been delayed indefinitely, it's just the latest project to be affected by MGM's financial woes .

Sam Mendes' "Bond 23" was put on indefinite hiatus earlier this year, and Guillermo del Toro recently left the director's chair of "The Hobbit," which MGM has still not greenlit.

MGM was also the original studio behind the Kevin James comedy "The Zookeeper," but Sony will now distribute that movie next summer.

Aside from its soundtrack, "Red Dawn" has been completed, but the up-for-sale studio is awaiting a buyer or an investor willing to pay for the marketing and distribution of its movies, or take them off its hands. Until one of those things happens, the fate of "Red Dawn" will remain up in the air.

"Red Dawn" stars Chris Hemsworth ("Thor"), Josh Hutcherson ("Journey to the Center of the Earth"), Josh Peck ("The Wackness"), Adrianne Palicki (TV's "Friday Night Lights"), Jeffrey Dean Morgan ("Watchmen") and Connor Cruise (son of Tom).

The alleged delay wouldn't necessarily be a bad move for the project. If "Red Dawn" is released after "Thor" makes Hemsworth a bigger household name, there could be more money to be made -- especially if Hutcherson lands the coveted role of Peter Parker in Sony's "Spider-Man" reboot, as has been rumored.
