Red Dawn Returns (Wolverine Remake)
IGN UK ^ | July 9, 2008 | Chris Tilly

Posted on 07/11/2008 6:40:41 AM PDT by tlb

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?"

Loved LOTR too, doesn’t mean I believe in Hobbits. :-)

So how do you explain Robert Reich?

Most of the Christians I knew at the time did not believe it would be anything dramatic.

Some of us even then and many since view Y2K as a deliberate dry run of The Lord’s engineering to help wake folks up and get them to prepare somewhat for coming traumas.

And, then there are some Christian computer experts who have asserted that if it were not for thousands of hours of corrective efforts . . . on the part of many computer professionals, it could have been a LOT messier.

But, hey, whistling Dixie is a past time of many folks . . .

Even Freepers.

That’s a wholesale incorrect assertion.

Have you read thousands of pages on the topic since 1965?

Please read quotes of the political leaders since 1900 available at post #76 here:

THEN

tell me if you feel the same way.

Why? You mean a couple high school kids with AKs couldn’t ambush and defeat the Soviet Army?


Hmmmm...seems the 1980's Soviet Army was 'held up' initially by rag tag groups of Afghanis. Later, through increased 'troops'/arms/training...the Soviet acquiesed the 'field'.

I think Pat has fallen off a cliff somewhere.

Hitler was an eager tool of the globalists even back then.

He was far from misunderstood.

. . . by the real power brokers.

Churchill is an interesting figure vis a vis globalism. Evidently, according to more than a few sources . . . he was not out of the loop.

See, I think that’s your problem. Any fool can write a pretty good conspiracy book, and they play off each other.

Get out more. Live a little.

There are enough real boogeymen in this world without us making ones up.

Why don’t we form a production company and I can write the script/story line and you can produce?

We can have Len Wisemann direct so that he can bring wife to the set every morning.

In this version the bad guys are the lawyers.

Who wants to bet that the plot goes like this:

“The villain turns out to be a Cheney-esque ‘white guy’ in the American government that ends up having secretly plotted with the ‘obvious’ bad guys - probably the Chinese - to bring down the American government so that he can take over all the oil fields in the West.”

Now, who do I bill for developing a treatment from this synopsis?

Goldman was right, no one in Hollywood knows anything. Leftist hack idiots all.
