On the heels of yesterday's casting announcements, Latinoreview has exclusively learned that Tony Gilroy, the oscar nominated writer/director of Michael Clayton (and one of my top five favorite all time screenwriters) has come aboard to rewrite MGM/UA's remake of RED DAWN!
Not surprising considering that Dan Bradley, the director of the remake, was the 2nd unit director of the Jason Bourne films which Gilroy penned.
Gilroy has recently delivered a 107 page draft dated 06-01-09. The remake was penned by Carl Ellsworth and Jeremy Passmore and based on the 1984 Cold War-era film co-written and directed by John Milius. We took a look at the Ellsworth/Passmore draft which you can watch HERE.
The story is about a group of teenagers who form an impromptu insurgency when their town is invaded by Chinese and Russian soldiers.
Set to begin filming in September, the film is scheduled to hit theaters Sept. 24, 2010.
Hasta el proximo capitulo...
