I really liked the storyline of that game and it's author (john milius who did red dawn) but the graphics just sucked! Looked like a PS2 game. They should have got Infinity Ward or someone with talent create the actual game.

Im sorry but i wouldnt want any treyarch or infinity ward to touch it. they would just turn it into the next call of duty.

The original is classic 80s, Cold War-era stuff. Somehow, I have a feeling this remake is gonna piss all over the original's legacy with shoddy acting and unbelievable characters.

Well, sorry to disappoint anyone, but this film was not filmed in Spokane, nor anywhere in the PNW -- it was filmed in the city I grew up in, Detroit, Michigan!

...and horrible computer generated effects that, IMHO, keep any action flick off my radar these days.

Avenge me boys!

What is Thor doing killing Koreans?

One thing that stood out in the previews I've seen is the wolverines using ARs. Huh? The original showed them starting with traditional hunting guns and using what they got off the russkies/cubans they killed.

 

[davemata]

What, you can't hunt with an AR10?

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

Sure. But if they were picking up weapons off killed north koreans to keep fighting I think it would be mostly AK variants and RPGs (are they still using those)?

 

[Capn Jack]

"What's happening ?" Duh...Sure as heck not a practice jump...

Interesting concept, but where was Air Defense Command while all of these juicy
targets (Troop carriers) were inbound? That and a high level jump into a combat
zone? Give me a break! Sure make dandy targets. Why not just land at Fairchild,
if it's still open....

Jack...

They should have made it muslims instead of north koreans, that would surely get someone fired up.

Hey! Let's remake Red Dawn because our actors are better than Patrick Swayze and the rest of the cast and we can write better than Jonn Milieus! Right!!! When it comes out on tv I'm giving it 15 min.

 

[jordanvraptor]

WOLVERINES!!!

Hope they still use that, its a classic. Nowadays, writers would probably use chipmunks or salamanders so as not to be too violent...

 

[jordanvraptor]

The movie has been in the can for over two years. They had to digitally change the enemy to North Korea. Originally it was supposed to be the Chinese...

Not trying to hurt any feelings, but I was around for the original, and even by the standards of the day I thought it was mediocre at best. I really wanted to like it but a lot of the acting was just terrible. I seem to remember the plot being a bit silly and most of the special effects being sub-par.

Looks like the new one will have an even weaker plot:
Red Dawn (2012 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In March 2011, the Los Angeles Times reported that MGM changed the villains in its Red Dawn remake from Chinese to North Korean in order to maintain access to China's lucrative box office. The changes reportedly cost less than $1 million and involve changing an opening sequence summarizing the story's fictional backdrop, re-editing two scenes and using digital technology to transform many Chinese symbols to Korean. The film's producer Trip Vinson stated, "We were initially very reluctant to make any changes, but after careful consideration we constructed a way to make a scarier, smarter and more dangerous Red Dawn that we believe improves the movie.

Right, because making the plot even less believable will make the movie "smarter".
