OT: "Red Dawn" To Be Remade

[boogiedowndonovan]

Littlearmies, you beat me to it.

Tom Cruise's son is going to play the C. Thomas Howell character.

Wikipedia says there are talks with Kurt Russell to be a part of the remake.

Who might he play? Lt. Col. Andrew Tanner? or Tom Eckert?

my most favorite dialogue from the original

Jed Eckert: ...Well, who *is* on our side?
Col. Andy Tanner: Six hundred million screaming Chinamen.
Darryl Bates: Last I heard, there were a billion screaming Chinamen.
Col. Andy Tanner: There *were*.
[he throws whiskey on the fire; it ignites violently, suggesting a nuclear explosion]


Guess that dialogue won't make it to the remake.
