Synopsis

In Red Dawn, a city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky – shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom.

In the case of Chris Hemsworth, who has had a major year with Cabin in the Woods, Snow White and the Huntsman, and The Avengers, that pic looks to be the long-shelved remake of Red Dawn....

Chris Hemsworth Gears Up In Two New Red Dawn Images

Chris Hemsworth has already had a great deal of success so far in 2012. For starters, the Australian actor finally got to share his performance as Curt the Jock in the long-delayed Cabin in the Woods, which is not only one of the best movies to come out so far this year, but one of the best horror films I have ever seen. A few weeks later, of course, he headed back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thor......
