Red Dawn stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor, Marvel's The Avengers, Snow White and the Huntsman), Josh Peck (Drake & Josh, The Wackness), Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games), Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights, upcoming G.I. Joe Retaliation), Isabel Lucas (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Immortals), Connor Cruise (Seven Pounds) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen).
In Red Dawn, a city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky - shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom. FilmDistrict will release Red Dawn in theaters nationwide on November 21, 2012, just in time for Thanksgiving.
Following the World Premiere, Fantastic Fest will transform the Austin American Legion into a maximum-security prison for the ultimate Red Dawn shindig. Prisoners will experience mandatory enjoyment from delousing stations as well as free prison tattoos and head-shaves. Executive chef John Bullington will be doling out wild-game bulgogi, kimchi and piping-hot shots of deer blood while the uniformed detainees enjoy the musical stylings of festival favorite Future Folk.

@ghostman I think it is mainly because this is a story that has so much potential and not letting it live up to that is just unacceptable

@mcleve02@dan1 Don't know why most people are against this. It looks okay, doesn't need to be great. The original wasn't "great" either, but slowly gained cult status. I'm sure this will do the same.

This reminds me of the game Homeland, wonder if this is based on it.
