After many years in limb0, Variety reports that the remake of the 1980′s mega-hit Red Dawn will hit theaters on November 2, 2012.

We admit it. We’re fans of the original (movie fact: It was the first movie ever distributed with a PG-13 rating), and have been anxiously awaiting the release of Red Dawn (2012), for several years. It was originally slated to be Red Dawn (2009).

For those who have been following the movie developments, you may recall that the original remake, completed in 2009, involved the invasion of the United States by the People’s Republic Of China (the 80′s version featured an invasion by Soviets supported by Cubans). After internet protests by Chinese bloggers, executives at MGM and Sony reportedly caved to the political correctness necessitated by our being China’s premier debtor and edited out the Chinese aspects of the movie and replaced the Chinese Red Army with that of North Korea at a cost of some $1 million. Apparently, the Chinese box office is expected to bring in a huge chunk of change, which is purported to be the real reason behind the modifications, as we can’t have Chinese audiences seeing their heroes lose World War III to a bunch of high school guerrilla rebels.

Fox News Reports:

Fans of the original will recall memorable appearances by notable Hollywood actors like Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Lea Thompson and C. Thomas Howell. The cast for the upcoming release will include a host of new comers, including Tom Cruise’s adopted son, Connor Cruise, as well as rising stars like Thor’s Chris Hemsworth.

No official trailers have been available, but we suspect with the November 2nd release date approaching we’ll begin to see some soon. The following trailer comes from Cintex Productions and was actually created about two years before the remake was completed. It gives us the jist of the story and, for die hard Red Dawn fans, is quite exciting, but is not official.
In the meantime, enjoy the trailer, and for those who missed it, the original Red Dawn (1984) full version is made available below. If you’re looking for a weekend movie, you may have just found it.

I disagree with the cover story about why this movie was changed.

Only Red China has the power to possibly invade the United States right now, not N. Korea.

The movie was moved away from realism and away from describing China as our military enemy because China appears to have editorial control over what Americans get to see or make in our movies.

Beware America! When the communist authoritarian power that currently enslaves 1 out of ever 4 people on the Globe has the power to control what you can and cannot be told or see on your screens, then that enemy is already a lot closer than you think.

Most people are not aware that the closest this world has come to WWIII was in October 26, 1979 when Park Chung-hee, president of South Korea, was assassinated by Kim Jae-kyu, his security chief as the director of Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA).

Thankfully, the only thing that past two NK dictators Kim Il Sung and his son Kim Jong-il will invaded is busting the gates of hell wide open.

I was there in 1979 when President Park was killed. Had Kim Il Sung invaded, it would have been the deadliest single battle in the history of the world. The heir apparent now in control (at least in appearance) in NK won't do anything stupid for fear of being killed by his own generals. North Korea's blackmailing SK with war is one of their largest sources of revenue, and that comes from the American tax payers who regularly pay them off to call their bluff.
