FilmDistrict Gets Their Hands On Red Dawn Remake, But Is It To Late?

A remake of the invasion movie " Red Dawn " — with its villains now digitally modified from Chinese to North Korean — will finally hit American shores next year. The new version of the Reagan-era classic will be released in the U.S. by independent studio FilmDistrict , according to people familiar with the matter but not authorized to discuss it publicly. FilmDistrict is finalizing a deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , the studio that produced the movie in 2009.

As a result, the movie’s producers last winter used d

And the company is hitting the ground running, developing a Steve McQueen biopic that will serve as a starring vehicle for the actor.

Tom Cruise Is Set For Mission Impossible 4

Tom Cruise Is Set For Mission Impossible 4 Ah snaps with my finger in a Z formation. Tom Cruise will be coming back as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible 4. This is really great news for me having a man crush on TC. Screenwriters Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec are already attached to write the script. The intention is to make this Cruise's next film and start shooting by summer for a Memorial Day 2011 weekend release. And I can definitively say that, despite chatter to the contrary, IM4 will be very much of an Ethan Hunt pic with Cruise as the main character. " I hear Paramount is really excited about relaunching the franchise, which has grossed over $1.4 billion globally. “Tom and J.J. are great talents and we are excited to be working with them to re-launch this legendary franchise,” said Paramount Pictures Chairman & CEO Brad Grey.
