'Red Dawn' Sequel to be Shot in Michigan || WXYZ.com | WXYZ-TV / Detroit | Detroit News, Weather, Sports and More

just in case link goes down or get to many hits shuts down for awhile here the whole story from link

Michigan has lured some impressive projects since passing the film incentives initiative last year, like Gran Torino, Whip It, and Betty Anne Waters. But it appears the state's biggest catch to date is the re-make of Red Dawn.

WATCH ALICIA SMITH'S REPORT IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ON THE RIGHT

The memorable battle cry will soon be echoing across Michigan's landscape.

Red Dawn tells the gripping story of how some midwestern teenagers fight to save their hometown from a foreign invasion. MGM's 1984 hit starred Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, and Jennifer Gray.

The cast for the re-make includes Chris Hemsworth, who played George Kirk in the latest Star Trek movie. He'll take on Swayze's role of Jed Eckert, the group's unofficial leader. Eckert's hotheaded younger brother Matt, originally played by Sheen, will be brought back by Josh Peck, best know for the voice of Eddie in the Ice Age movies.

And Adrianne Palicki from the Friday Night Lights TV series, will portray Toni, the scrappy character Jennifer Gray first played. Dan Bradley will direct. He was the second unit director on the Bourne Ultimatum and the Bourne Supremacy films.

Ken Droz from the Michigan Film Office says the state's film incentives lured MGM here, and so did the setting.

Area production companies and filmmakers are already feeling the ripple effect of Red Dawn's pre-production here.

MGM will start filming the action film's re-make September 8th.

Interesting.. I guess the movie ended with the Russians still here.... Wiggle room?

It's a remake, not a sequel. They may do a sequel of the remake if it's successful, but I think it's going to wind up being critically panned or ignored because of the source material.

I audibly groaned when I read the title to this thread......I remember when the original came out........There were a lot of bad movies in the 80's and this was one of them......The best part of the movie was that I was in the back row of the drive-in and......

I actually liked the movie when it came out. I was in the Army at the time so the scenario fit. However from time to time we need to be reminded of what can happen. This is still a possibility of realism.

I can't wait for the remake when it's on DVD.

So far I think this remake will be a big "Swing and a miss!"
