And if you really, really can't wait, then you can soothe your impatient soul with the tremulous warblings of Glenn Yarbrough singing 'The Greatest Adventure' from the Hobbit cartoon:

Wow, Red Dawn! I must have watched that a dozen times as a kid. That is every pre-pubescent boys ridiculous fantasy. I wonder who will invade since the cold war is over. It was a silly premise in 1984, today it will be downright laughable.

Hugo Chavez.

IIRC it's the Chinese invading this time.

Remakes aren't exactly new to Hollywood. Read any movie digest and any number of movies have been remade since the industry started. How many movies have been made about the O.K. Corral? Just off the top of my head I can think of six. I'm sure there are more. For the poster who suggested silent films being remade, they already have. They're called talkies.

Unfortunately, movies aren't really made for adults anymore. That isn't the audience Hollywood aims at. It's kids, teenagers and young adults. Most of us here just have to accept the fact we are no longer in the sweet spot demographically. Sad, ain't it?
