Hot-on-the-heels of news that Darren Aronofsky may be directing MGM's Robocop reboot, the studio has announced plans to remake another '80s feature in the shape of Red Dawn.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Red Eye scribe Carl Ellsworth will pen the script, which will update the story to modern day.
"The tone is going to be very intense, very much keeping in mind the post-9/11 world that we're in," explains Ellsworth.
"As Red Dawn scared the heck out of people in 1984, we feel that the world is kind of already filled with a lot of paranoia and unease, so why not scare the hell out of people again?"

* The advance round-ups of “insurgent U.S. Citizens” likely to move against the government
* The detention of those rounded up at The REX 84 Camps constructed throughout the United States
* The possibility of public retaliation against members of Congress for the collapses

Odd
for a FREEPER
to call the MSM
whitewash
“reality.”
You do realize the same predictions were made about the Y2K "disaster-to-be", right?
You like Pat Buchanon, too, I bet?
Was Churchill at fault for WWII? Hitler merely misunderstood, and really didn’t want to kill Jews?
Sorry, I agree there are idiots who want to do an EU thing here, but there is no grand conspiracy.
Here it is.
Yeah, I won't hold my breath waiting on that. My own prediction: the "invaders" turn out to be patsies for the *real* evil, the corporate-government cabal lead by either the vice-president or a high-ranking general, who wants to push the U.S. into implementing a fascistic/nazist style of government....
I would bet this will portray the “patriotic kids” being leftist at the start.. The kind who are bullied by football players and cheerleaders. At the surface everything is a veneer although the surface is a clue i.e. if it looks like something a conservative parent thinks is good, it’s evil. If it’s something parents disapprove of, it’s good. The review site Plugged In describes one of Carl Ellsworth’s previous films (Disturbia) that way,
“it wants cloistered young people—isolated from true community by the pseudo-interaction of text messaging and online video games—to feel less secure in pristine neighborhoods full of secretive strangers trying to fool everyone with their well-manicured yards. They’re phony people with hidden agendas and empty lives. At least that’s the cynical perspective of LaBeouf’s brooding, restless teen.”
The End
And the title will be altered slightly to, "The Crack of Dawn."

As I recall a bunch of stone age cavemen gave the Soviet Red Army an a$$ whopping. Not to mention some beatings they took in Southern Europe.
Brokeback Dawn?
Someone else already said it, but I can't imagine hollyweird portraying heterosexual white male christian gun loving Americans in a heroes role. There will be the stock wise black man who will be smarter than anyone else, but who probably won't be the main character. I'm still going with gay cowboys as the leading characters with their discovering their sexuality as a main subplot
Yup i was late on it!!! I think your prediction is right on. Is Morgan Freeman available?
I, for one, welcome our new alien demon god overlords.
