MGM: ‘Red Dawn’ Remake Still Slated for November..
So, has MGM’s “Red Dawn” remake been shelved or not?
The L.A. Times says yes; TheWrap is being told no by the studio.
According to a report in the Times Friday morning, Dan Bradley’s redo of John Milius’ 1984 original is in the can but has been delayed indefinitely from its scheduled Nov. 24 release due to MGM’s uncertain future.
But when TheWrap contacted the studio, its head of marketing, Mike Vollman, was adamant the the movie is “still dated for Nov. 24.” He had no comment regarding the Times report besides pointing out that it didn’t quote anyone from MGM.
One of the big Scientologists has their son casted as the hero in the new Red Dawn, I wouldn’t be surprised if the movie is canned now that the decision makers are from locations outside the bubble of Hollywood, a bubble infected with the Scientologists’ cult members.
