As a result, the filmmakers now are digitally erasing Chinese flags and military symbols from "Red Dawn," substituting dialogue and altering the film to depict much of the invading force as being from North Korea, an isolated country where American media companies have no dollars at stake.

'If MGM is unable to find a distributor for the movie, it could end up going direct-to-DVD or could even be shelved, never to be seen" {nm}   Antibody on Mar 15, 17:10

No.... I want more movies that regard Chinese government as villain! {nm}   Peterlee on Mar 15, 17:54

And I really don't believe that MGM hadn't talked with Chinese Government for this matter   Peterlee on Mar 15, 18:01

BTW, Michael Eisner promised to Chinese government that Disney would dump "Kundun" quietly and ensure the movie to flop at box office....   Peterlee on Mar 15, 17:57

A true wolverine would never back down. I call shenanigans. {nm}   amnesiac on Mar 15, 18:00

uh... we are to believe that North Korea is capable of invading American soil?   RazorHawk on Mar 15, 18:19

does NK even has planes? {nm}   Oleg Max on Mar 15, 18:37

They're building them in secret. :) {nm}   secretstalker on Mar 15, 19:13

The preamble no doubt will be changed to reflect how North Korea conquers China first. {nm}   Catzan on Mar 15, 19:16

1.3 billion people vs. 75 million for both Koreas. There's no believable possibility. {nm}   Antibody on Mar 15, 20:24

What...comon! There has to be...if NK takes on the US...then why not China? Suspend disbelief! Suuuuuspend DISBELIEF! ;-P {nm}   Catzan on Mar 15, 21:51

No one is beleiving NK can take on US either. {nm}   Antibody on Mar 16, 09:47

As noted, those are being digitally changed. Perhaps China uses NK to do the dirty work, much like Cubans in the 1984 original. {nm}   Antibody on Mar 15, 20:38

I could beleive China would use the NK for the durty work. {nm}   vampyre82nd on Mar 24, 13:26

"I could believe China would use the NK for the durty work." -- LOL, and this would be different from NOW in what particular? {nm}   T.Durden on Apr 14, 18:08

Why not Aborigines? Thats believable. {nm}   scoomp on Jun 02, 05:26
