It Had To Happen Sooner Or Later...Get Ready For A RED DAWN Remake!!


Merrick here...

A Hollywood Reporter article discusses two MGM properties that are up for remakeization.

One is ROBOCOP, which we've previously reported (HERE).

The good news is...they're only thinking about it. The bad news is...they're thinking about.

The world's changed a lot since 1984; wonder if the invading forces will be Chinese this time around?

Around the time of RED DAWN's release, similar themes were explored by the inimitable Chuck Norris...





...and by ABC's now completely buried miniseries AMERIKA:




I was fairly young when I saw AMERIKA (so I may be recalling it wrong), but I remember it being somewhat interesting. It's never been issued on home video to the best of my knowledge...wonder why? AMERIKA features a score by Basil Poledouris...who scored RED DAWN as well.

Personally, I think they should remake INVASION U.S.A. instead. With Chuck.
