The remake of the 1980s invasion film Red Dawn is being filmed in Mt. Clemens – one of many movies that are being shot in Michigan right now thanks to our industry leading film incentive. The movie is directed by Dan Bradley, stars Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Isabel Lucas, Connor Cruise, Josh Peck, Adrianne Palicki and is scheduled to be release September 24, 2010.
Mary Jo has a few more photos from the film in her slideshow and you can see a few more from RIPizzo.
You can get all kinds of Red Dawn information from Beyond Hollywood including some YouTube videos from the filming (explosions!)
Speaking of explosions, here’s the trailer for the original Red Dawn.

My photos from the filming of the RED DAWN remake. Location was Lincoln street. They had extras hired at $1000, mostly residents on the street. This scene was paratroopers coming from the sky, extras point up & look perplexed and surprised, then a machine gun goes off, then a car chase ensues. The cars had Washington plates and one of them was a Spokane Police car. It was definitely an interesting late afternoon for my husband, daughter and me.
