OT: "Red Dawn" To Be Remade

[Littlearmies]

Is this sacrilegious or what? Taking a classic teen movie of the late Eighties and remaking it twenty years later - and to what purpose?

I first saw this on the BBC today where they were saying Tom Cruise's adopted kid was going to be playing one of the teens and it was going to be a Chinese / Russian co-invasion. I'm slightly mollified that the guy who wrote Michael Clayton has been hired as the writer (but who knows what the director will do with his script?).

Evidently they also plan to do Robocop. What happened to the days when studios produced original entertainment (or at least only ripped off foreign language movies that nobody had ever watched)?
