Red Dawn

You can't do anything in Hollywood these days without getting written consent from Aussie hearthrob (and Thor) Chris Hemsworth. He is just about in every possible thing there is to be in. From Snow White and The Hunstman, to The Avengers to the excellent Cabin In The Woods... he's keeping himself busy.

In his latest, he is taking on the mantle originally help by Patrick Swayze and teaming up with a whole bunch of "Hot Hollywood Youngsters" in a remake of the 1980s classic Red Dawn.

The story is pretty straight forward, even slightly familiar. Let's see if you can pick it...

A city in Washington wakes to the sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky! Yes, believe it, without warning the USA has been invaded with their hometown the initial target.

It's not long before citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. As usual, there is a rogue clan determined to fight back who have found refuge in the surrounding woods where they are able to train and reorganise themselves into a guerilla group of fighters.

If it sounds like Tomorrow When The War Began... you'd be right. Interestingly enough, despite being a Box Office success in Australia, TWTWB didn't fare to well in overseas markets. So it'll be interesting to see a similar film (with quite a few Aussies in it anyway, will fare.

You decide...
