Carl Ellsworth (Y: The Last Man, Red Eye) has been tapped to write the remake of the 1984 adventure drama Red Dawn, and Dan Bradley, a second unit director and/or stunt coordinator on The Bourne Ultimatum, Spider-Man 3, and the upcoming Quantum of Solace, will direct the update. The original movie, which I watch pretty much every time is shows up on cable, starred Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, and C. Thomas Howell and was about a group of Colorado high school kids who take refuge in the mountains and launch an insurgency after a World War III invasion of America by the Soviets and Cubans.
