V & Red Dawn

[draggar]

I am actually looking forward to these remakes.

V starts next Tuesday at 8PM (EDT - probably local time, too) on ABC.

I'm sure Morena Baccarin will make a good "Anna" (formerly known as Dianna). I'm sure you Whedonites remember her as Inara and Gaters remember her as Adria.

Red Dawn is looking good but I just hope it doesn't go too far. At least there are no huge stars in it so I'll give it points for that.

Didn't they already remake "V"... and call it "Independence Day"?

As for "Red Dawn"... WHY? Part of what made that movie successful was the paranoia of the Cold War... what will they use to substitute for that?

Completely different IMO. V was about them coming down and supposedly being our friends and it was an underground movement that fought them. Independence Day there was little question to their motives.

I think it was a good movie and I heard this time around it is the Chinese who invade us and they've "modernized" it.
