Well the bad news is the Communists nixed the movie and it's doubtful if it will get released anytime soon and if it does, the whole story plot of who the bad guys are has been CGI redone.
I was really looking forward to it, but as far as I'm concerned it's probably best the communist approved version never comes out at all.
When the original came out it was ok to portray the Russians and Cubans as the enemy because honesty was more important than giving a shit about being politically correct.
Chinese will soon be the mandatory language in schools.
This was a troubled production from the start. You guys don't half to have a knee jerk reaction to everything that doesn't fit the ideological narrative and call it PC. Was it PC to remove "Hereafter" from Japanese theaters in the wake of the tsunami? The reality with this new Red Dawn is that the world has changed since 1984 and trying to adapt a Cold War era story to today tends to be difficult. The based on the preproduction work this was aimed at being a franchise pic with sveral installments, but it had very little to do with the original film other than the premise of teenagers rebeling against an invading force. Unfortunately it wasn't well thought out.
Hmmm, I don't see the problem with rescripting the movie to reflect the current atmosphere here.
It could be about Taliban invaders, moving enmass across the Mexican border. It's happening right now, as I type this, so why not make that into the "new" Red Dawn. They can call it Mooslim Morning, lol.
Watched a bit on Stossel about it.They changed it to North Korea because if they left it as China coming to collect on our debt they would'nt be able to make money in China with it.
They (MGM) is saying it's because the Chinese film industry makes alot of money off of American movies. It's money. They want the Chinese to see the movie too.
Hooray! Let's fuck up a classic movie completely for money! Way to go MGM. Fucktards.
