If youre
seeing this broadcast you are in a part of the country no longer
controlled by the government of the United States.
For some years
now weve been covering the development of the remake for the
1984 hit Red Dawn.
Originally
titled Red Dawn 2009, the release was delayed for a number
of reasons that included digitally altering the communist red
threat from an invasion of the mainland United States by the
Peoples Republic of China, to a less believable but likely
to be equally entertaining, North Korean foe. The cost to make the
movie politically correct in an effort to appease the United States
key money lender came to a reported $1 million. Then, the movie
was hit with major budgetary issues as its production company went
through bankruptcy proceedings; the release was delayed indefinitely
much to the chagrin of Red Dawn 1984 fanatics.
All that is
now behind us, and we are ecstatic to learn that Red Dawn 2012's
official release has been confirmed for Thanksgiving Day 2012.
The original
Red
Dawn was the ultimate in doomsday entertainment, and based
on what weve seen from the trailer for 2012, the remake will
not disappoint.
Heres
some weekend entertainment for the die hard in all of us (albeit
just 2 and a half minutes to satiate our appetites for November):
It was
a new class of weapon. Everything went offline and never came back.
They wiped us out including US Central Command.
Heres
the original trailer for Red Dawn 1984, which you can watch
in full on Netflix (instant stream).
