A new trailer for the Red Dawn remake, dubbed a “patriotic trailer,” has been released online. Directed by Dan Bradley, the remake stars Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Josh Peck, and Arianne Palicki as a group of teenagers/young adults who must work together in order to repel invading North Korean forces. It appears that the marketing campaign is now heavily geared toward the film’s patriotic appeal despite the fact that the filmmakers troublingly switched the nationality of the film’s villains from Chinese to North Koreans in post-production by changing the colors of the flags (‘Merica!). Nevertheless, the film actually looks like it could be kind of fun if it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Hit the jump to watch the new trailer. The film also stars Isabel Lucas, Connor Cruise, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Red Dawn opens on November 21.

Here’s the synopsis for Red Dawn:
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.

Adam, I agree with you abot it being fun if it isn’t too serious, but the previous material and TV spots seem to show it as a straight fafed action movie. This is one that should have stayed on the shelves of MGM. WOLVERINES!
The first RED DAWN sucked donkey dick and this one will too! Why do you think it’s taken over 2 years to release it? Can’t believe they remade it and with the North Koreans as the bad guys yet – not the Chinese but North Korea! If I was China I’d be totally insulted.
I’m not watching this, ever. It is absolutely pathetic that the cowardly film studio allowed the Chinese to pressure them into changing the antagonists from the Chinese army to North Korea. This is all the proof you need that America has ALREADY been taken over, and there aren’t any Wolverines that are ever going to save it.

It looks sooooooooooooo bad
This piece of crap system told me that I hadn’t entered the correct security code. Now I’ve triple-posted. F_uck it.
Enhance your calm Tom, it’s just a stupid movie, among many others that are made/altered/re-edited for financial reasons.
still though, I got to say Royal Oak and Detroit never looked better!
Stupid, hateful and cowardly little piece of trash. Let it float like a turd to Netflix so Creationists and Tea Party members can rent it.
