The first poster for the Red Dawn remake starring Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson has landed online.
The film was originally slated for a November 2010 release, but then MGM went bankrupt and the film was postponed. Luckily for FilmDistrict, the new distributor, Chris Hemsworth was not Thor and Josh Hutcherson had yet to be cast as Peeta when the Red Dawn was filmed in 2009. So this delay may very well have been a blessing in disguise for the film.
A trailer for the film will arrive tomorrow, but in the meantime, here’s the poster:
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.
