According to the LA Times, the filmmakers have decided to change the villains yet again. Instead of the Chinese, North Korean soldiers will now invade the U.S. in the Red Dawn remake. The switch was made in an effort to give the film greater box office appeal in China – which has become one of the most profitable markets for American movies.
Around the time MGM first delayed the release of Red Dawn, a Chinese newspaper called the Global Times expressed concerns that the film would demonize their state and its citizens (thanks in part to certain leaked images from the set). Evidently, this may have been a factor in scaring off potential distributors who were apprehensive about what effect their involvement with the film would have on future dealings with China.
So without any official complaints from the Chinese government, MGM will spend $1 million to construct a new opening sequence, re-edit several scenes, and digitally change Chinese symbols into Korean. It may sound somewhat ridiculous, but the fact of the matter is that the studio really had no alternative. If the film fails to secure distribution, it could wind up going straight to video – or being permanently shelved."Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul Harvey

The Happening? Have you actually seen it? I'm guessing you haven't since you're recommending somebody watch it.Originally posted by diablo rojo View PostWar of the Worlds
The Happening
Millenium (kinda campy, but enjoyable)
The Road
Escape from New York
The Postman
I know some of those have been mentioned already.....just agreeing.
And I won't be seeing the Red Dawn remake. Complete BS to even make it."Any dog under 50lbs is a cat and cats are pointless." - Ron Swanson

Last I checked, there really aren't many Oscar worthy post-apocolyptic movies out there. Does The Happening deserve to be on a list with The Godfather or Seven Samurai.....hell no?! Can it find its place in the likes of 28 Days Later or I Am Legend, I think it can?! The acting was poor and the plot was water thin....but the portrayal of a world where our society ceases to exist was pretty good.Originally posted by jdgregory84 View PostThe Happening?

Damn you for making me defend that piece of crap
