First trailer for the Red Dawn remake

Weaponry commercial “Red Dawn” has released an advertising spot across the interwebs.

The remake of the ’84 flick substitutes Swayze, Howell, Sheen and Boothe for Hemsworth, Peck, Hutcherson and Morgan, but looks no less fierce than it’s predecessor. Sure to be. Either that, or the money-men have gotten themselves a darn good trailer editor (shocker!). In all seriousness, I think the flick looks slicker than that oil spill near the pumps at the Richmond Caltex and I’m looking forward to seeing it… three years after it’s completion.

Yahoo! has the trailer for the pic :

In Red Dawn, a city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky – shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom.

Excellent! Bill & Ted 3 finds itself a director!
