Financial woes my perfectly formed rear end.
They caved to China.
they would have screwed it up anyways!
Jed would have”come out” when they were all in hiding....
Oh, too bad.
If you want to crawl out of your financial troubles, invest enough money now in a pro-American, pro-Freedom, pro-Individualist remake of Red Dawn that remains true to the original, and you will make so much money in ticket sales that you will, once again, be in the black.

there is no need to remake this....it stands on its own as is....
...though I question their motives.
That’s ok...I have the original “Red Dawn” and I hate “remakes”.
Another reason why Sloan may have been on the outs...
Political constributions for Harry Sloan MGM chairman, CEO
What????? No more Leo roaring on the screen????
Screw Red Dawn, no new Bond??? WTF
They’re never as good as the old version by the same title, anyway!
No worries, the non-fiction version is coming soon to a neighborhood near you
A remake would be a watered down movie anyway. PC Hollywood changed Tom Clancy’s The Sum of All Fears from Palestinian Terrorists to Russians to be PC, they’ll neuter a remake of Red Dawn too.
Just as well there’s no remake.
Methinks their Chinese overlords were displeased...
There should be an effort to redo some of the classic Ealing Studio comedy films. British comedies with superb story lines that were made on shoestring budgets. Ironically, Ealing Studios are still around.
This was already tried by Americans, and failed, with the remake of The Ladykillers (1955). The 2004 version had top directors, top actors, and a big budget, but still failed terribly. This pretty well proves that the British have to make their own remakes.
But, if they do so, they could choose from a fine selection:
Whiskey Galore! (1949)
Passport to Pimlico (1949)
Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949)
The Lavender Hill Mob (1951)
The Man in the White Suit (1951)
The Titfield Thunderbolt (1953)
And they then might re-remake The Ladykillers.
Lefties, left to their own devices, eventually screw up their own wet dreams.

This is the studio that has in recent years spent big bucks on “Lions for Lambs,” “Fame,” and “Valkyrie.” Completely unsurprising that there would be financial problems.
