Josh Peck and Adrianne Palicki have been cast in the upcoming remake of “Red Dawn,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The duo will join Chris Hemsworth in the story of a group of teenagers who form an impromptu insurgency when their town is invaded by Chinese and Russian soldiers.
Peck will play Matt Eckert — the role originated by Charlie Sheen — the hotheaded younger brother of Hemsworth’s Jed Eckert and star quarterback of their Spokane high school football team.
Palicki will play Toni, the role first inhabited by Jennifer Grey. She’s a tough fighter the brothers encounter who develops romantic feelings for Jed, a Marine home on leave and the group’s unofficial leader. Palicki will be familiar to genre fans as the girlfriend of Sam Winchester who is killed in the pilot episode of “Supernatural.”
Filming on the reboot is expected to start in September.

Yeah thats original. Come on!!!!! What a waste of film.
Ah sweet Sagan. Why? The only reason the first was good was that it was fun to watch and the sheer number of good actors on it. Why do it again?
This film will be better than expected. China and Russians invade
the United States. Should be interesting. Heard that Kurt Russell will
be in it, thats a plus. This remake will be more intense, more action,
I'd like to think that the intial invasion scenes will be larger and last
longer than the original. This film could be rated R.
