chinese invaders! first look at the red dawn remake script
I first heard about plans for a Hollywood remake of Red Dawn sometime last year. If you've never seen the original awful-but-awesome 1984 film, it's basically about a bunch of midwestern small town teens who defend their town -- and America -- from invading Soviet military forces. Very scary stuff back then, feeding everyone's Cold War nightmares.

Well, a remake is underway, and since the Soviets are out of the picture, guess who's invading the United States this time? Why, it's China, of course! Movie site LatinoReview.com has gotten a first look at the script, and indeed, the enemy is China: First Look At the Red Dawn Reboot!

The Chinese apparently invade the United States within the first sixteen pages of the script... but of course, the new generation of "Wolverines" will be there to withstand the Chinese forces. According to Latino Review, the group of insurgent teens includes a character named Erica Yu, "the 17-year-old knockout Asian American captain of the cheerleading squad." Oh boy.

Expect to see hordes of evil Chinese military men invading the nation, including a particularly villainous leader named "Lo." Then expect to see scrappy American youth killing as many faceless Chinese soldiers as possible in an hour and fifty minutes. Because, hey, those invaders deserve it. If they actually go through with making it, expect to hear a lot more about this movie.
