Red Dawn - Red Enemy

Devin Faraci at Chud.com recently talked with Carl Ellsworth, the writer of the remake of Red Dawn, and he offers some reassuring words that the enemy will be plausible, and the action real.

I have been giving the Red Dawn remake enemy some thought, since I obviously don't have anything better to do with my time. My first conclusion is that the movie will still be called Red Dawn, as in communist red. As such, they won't be able to call the remake Red Dawn if it's Islamic green terrorists invading America. Being Red Dawn, the enemies will have to be red, and that leaves the up-and-coming Chinese as the enemy.

Now imagine this. After 8 years of Obama, America's defenses are weakened and the nation's economy crippled as the result of being in debt to the Chinese and other nations for the tune of 25 trillion dollars. The United States decides to declare bankruptcy, leaving the Chinese in one heck of a lurch. So the Chinese forgo the invasion of Taiwan and head straight for the United States, parachuting thousands of screaming Chinese into L.A., where they are met and utlimately defeated by our finest American gangs.
