Red Dawn Reboot

[GreenScar]

RED DAWN freaked me out as an 11 year old kid. I remember the hard hitting film being the first movie released under the PG-13 rating. So Carl Ellsworth who wrote one of my favorite all time spec scripts (RED EYE) did his take on a present day Red Dawn.

The original "Red Dawn" was the Cold War brainchild of writer-director John Milius, who devised a World War III invasion of America by the Soviets and Cubans. The film followed the scrappy insurgency of a group of Midwestern teenagers who take on their high school mascot name -- "Wolverines!" -- as a rallying cry of resistance.

Who invades us this time around?

Find out the answer below along with my thoughts on the script in the very cool episode which was exec produced by Kellvin, narrated by Edgar "El Toro" Arce, and hilariously edited by Stuart Benedict.
