Preview: Red Dawn (2012)

The remake of Red Dawn is almost here.

In the original, Communists from Central America and the USSR teamed up to conquer part of the US, for a while.

With the remake, it's the North Koreans who invade and manage to take over parts of the US.

Instead of Colorado, the remake takes place in Washington, with them fleeing Seattle, instead of a small town.

Another big change is that the older brother, played by Chris Hemsworth (yes, Thor's little brother), isn't a high school senior, he's now a Marine on leave.

"Wolverines!", their high school's mascot, still becomes their mark and rallying cry, as they try to take a new secret weapon, that allowed the North Koreans to win the first part of the war.

The movie has already been redone once before, in Australia, Tomorrow, When The War Began.

Red Dawn hits theaters Wednesday, November 21.
