Maybe These Wolverines Will Be Cooler Than The WOLVERINE Fox Just Put On Screens?? RED DAWN Casting Continues...


Merrick here...

Casting is picking up for MGM's remake of John Milius' RED DAWN.

Chris Hemsworth (Daddy Kirk in J.J.'s TREK) has already been cast in the film...



Now we know that Josh Peck (THE WACKNESS, Nickelodeon's DRAKE & JOSH)...




And FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHT's Adrianne Palicki ...

...will be joining him.

Peck will play Matt Eckert -- the role originated by Charlie Sheen -- the hotheaded younger brother of Hemsworth's Jed Eckert and star quarterback of their Spokane high school football team. Palicki will play Toni, the role first inhabited by Jennifer Grey. She's a tough fighter the brothers encounter who develops romantic feelings for Jed, a Marine home on leave and the group's unofficial leader.

...per THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.

RED DAWN will be directed by Dan Bradley, stunt god/Second Unit director on stuff like BOURNE and QUANTUM OF SOLACE.
