justnzane Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I hope they don't make an abortion of this classic. :fist up in air: WOLVERINES!!!
CosmicBills Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 http://www.cinematical.com/2008/07/09/red-...r-and-director/ There is about a 0% chance this ever gets out of development.
erynthered Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 There is about a 0% chance this ever gets out of development. Good. Why though, Wolverine?
buckeyemike Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 What is Red Dawn most famous for? Not what you think...it was the first nationwide PG-13 rated release. I remember it was summer of 1984, either July or August, but I can't remember which.
Beerball Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 There is about a 0% chance this ever gets out of development. Promise?
Chef Jim Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I hope they don't make an abortion of this classic. :fist up in air: WOLVERINES!!! Have you known Hollywood to do anything but? Oh and BTW, Red Dawn was good, but a classic??

buckeyemike Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Interesting fact, but wouldn't it be most famous for what you think? I figured most would think Red Dawn famous for being one of the last movie releases featuring war with the Russians. Either that, or being the first movie with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey both in it.
gmac17 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 i liked red dawn because of the realism, yet people still argued that 9 kids on horseback couldn't defeat an entire army.
The Big Cat Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 What is Red Dawn most famous for? Not what you think...it was the first nationwide PG-13 rated release. I remember it was summer of 1984, either July or August, but I can't remember which. False. The PG-13 rating was created for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Red Dawn (according to the New York Public Library's Book of Answers 1988) was the bloodiest film ever made.
The Big Cat Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 False. The PG-13 rating was created for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Red Dawn (according to the New York Public Library's Book of Answers 1988) was the bloodiest film ever made. Forgive me. I was understanding that it was IJTD, but Red Dawn also receives credit. It's murky. Your comments were not "false."
CosmicBills Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Good. Why though, Wolverine? If they make it terrorist porn (like the original was Commie porn), there's just not a market for it. The BO has been terrible for any sort of war movie or films dealing with the war -- so remaking an invasion action flick (whether it's Russians, Iranians?, Canadians) probably won't track well enough for them to market. That's a hunch ... the only way it gets out of development is if Traitor (which opens soon and looks awesome) does record numbers at the BO -- which it won't. Promise? I will put my minions to work on it!!!
CosmicBills Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Forgive me. I was understanding that it was IJTD, but Red Dawn also receives credit. It's murky. Your comments were not "false." Well, you're actually right Big Cat. Temple of Doom should be the one with the credit because it was Spielberg who forced the ratings board to add the new PG-13 rating because he knew that an R rated Indy flick would limit their audience. Red Dawn jumped on Indy's bandwagon, though both got the ratings at roughly the same time, Red Dawn would have been an R if it weren't for Temple of Doom and Spielberg. That's when you know you have clout in Hollywood -- when you can get the ratings board to add a whole new rating for your movie, simply because you ask.

Right, I knew that TOD was the catalyst but Ohio Mike was right to say that Red Dawn was the first PG-13 RELEASE. But yes, Spielberg = the film industry.
/dev/null Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Red Dawn was good, but a classic?? Yes And I don't even want to think about how badly Hollywood will slaughter this classic. Boys! Avenge Me!!! Avenge Me!
Just Jack Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 :fist up in air: WOLVERINES!!! Boys! Avenge Me!!! Avenge Me! Best scenes

dib Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 i liked red dawn because of the realism, yet people still argued that 9 kids on horseback couldn't defeat an entire army. they acted as guerillas the intent was not to defeat the Russians/Nicaraguans/Cubans but to offer resistance
