UPDATED!! As Casting Continues, So Do The Rewrites?? RED DAWN Has A Promising New Writer...

Merrick again...

Interestingly, seems Carl Ellsworth - one of the RED DAWN remake's original writers - was subsequently brought on reshape Gilroy's rewrite (Gilroy only worked on the project for a few weeks). So, Gilroy reworked Ellsworth's script...and Ellsworth reworked Gilroy's reworking. Gotta love Hollywood...


[[[ORIGINAL ARTICLE FOLLOWS]]










Merrick here...

The folks over at Latino Review say that Tony Gilroy (the BOURNE films, MICHAEL CLAYTON, PROOF OF LIFE) has been brought into rejigger RED DAWN's screenplay & has already delivered a draft.

More details can be found HERE.

Casting on the Dan Bradley directed film is well underway - some details of which can be found in YESTERDAY'S REPORT.
