How would I remake the movie “Red Dawn” in this post 9/11 world that we live in? I wouldn’t. Red Dawn may have been shocking at the time of it’s initial release in the 1980s, but after hundreds of movies destroying New York City due to global weather changes, giant amphibians, and super heroes, and the release of a hundred more “War on Terror” movies, you couldn’t possibly remake “Red Dawn” and have the same affect that it did on audiences in the ‘80s.
That being said, if some lame money hungry moviemaker was going to remake it- it would be terrorists instead of Cubans and Russians. And you can be almost positive those terrorists would hate the United States and everything they stand for. They would then attack our favorite places, the places were American greedy consumerism is at it’s best. Malls, amusement parks, airports, all those places were the masses flock to and where we like to spend lots of money. Unlike Red Dawn, small towns in the middle of nowhere would probably be safe, same for places we don’t spend any time anymore, public libraries (when is the last time you were in one of those) and any place of retail that only takes cash (because who carries that anymore.)
In conclusion, if you are thinking about remaking “Red Dawn” in today’s political world, please don’t.
