WOLVERINES! A "Red Dawn" remake may be in the works

I'm not so sure what would happen with the gangs, but I'm pretty sure that an invasion would not include more than limited strategic nuclear strikes.
Razing all major cities would defeat the purpose of an invasion, land and power. Melting down the U.S. would change the world power structure, but resources would be gone and the land uninhabitable.
Would the gangs fight? Some. Others would flee and try to wait out the conflict. Others would probably try to capitalize on the situation in some way.

 

I cannot believe we're having a serious discussion on the plot of Red Dawn: The Remake.

 

BYH hates America.
In the original Red Dawn, the Russians took out key communications centers with limited nuclear strikes.
I also imagine that a collective effort here, would probably cobble together something better than what ends up getting filmed. A team of untrained monkeys could probably end up with something better as well.
Anyway, I believe GBNF just got a screen play done. So some qualified types are floating around here.
Do you make it a shot for shot remake? A mid 80s piece or updated for modern times?
This has some potential.

 

Don't bring my politics into this, Jay!

I think a Red Dawn remake is awesome, in an awful way. But it doesn't matter what the plot is. The movie will reek of titanic fail regardless. A plot is non-essential.

 

Jay, if they're smart, they do a shot-for-shot remake.

But I fear they'll do so with the entire cast of "High School Musical" as the Wolverines.

 

A musical version of Red Dawn would be the single greatest thing ever.

 

I cannot believe we're having a serious discussion on what gangs would do in a Red Dawn scenario.

Here's a good summation of our expertise on the topic, and I include myself in the indictment ...

Conceivably the most inane topic ever discussed on SJ ... but entertaining nonetheless. The 14-year-old in me is hanging on every word.

Red Dawn remake? Cripes. Can Roadhouse be far behind?

 

holy shit. That'd be fucking unreal.

As long as Gorky Park writes all the songs (hi bubbler!).

 

Perhaps in the modern version, the insurgent WOLVERINES! can not only be fighting against the occupying forces, but also engaging in sectarian violence against a rival high school guerilla group. They could be called the BUCKEYES!

 

Get your tickets now for the feel-good event of the season. It's Red Dawn On Ice, coming this weekend to the Bumfuck Civic Center.

 

Maybe they could make the remake a cross between Red Dawn & Canadian Bacon.
