      Well they could have made it set back in the day, but i think they are trying to refocus on present possiblities.

            RE: Original Post

            Recently I saw Tomorrow, when the War began which is basically Red Dawn Australia. As I recall the Invaders there were unspecified only identified by a Red Star which could be both Com. Chinese or North Korean.

              People like Napoleon or the top Nazis come to power after intense and brutal strife weeds out everyone else. North Korean nepotism can't match that, unless the dear leader has been importing the best eggs money can buy and had a thousands women carrying the kids to term after which 20 years later the best kid was picked and acknowledged him as his offspring and succesor.

              Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
              The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.

                Have you tried drinking or doing drugs? You might find it's a better way of spending your money than two copies of Homefront.

                  That was totally so that he'd have to be killed in an unconventional manner:"Let off some steam, Bennett."

                    The Chinese would throw a huge hissy fit, if they were ever portrayed as bad guys in any movie. It would seriously hurt diplomatic relations and US ambassadors would have to apologize.

                      That said, a movie where the Chinese take over America may hit a little too close to home for an American audience.

                        Except in the case of the US we'd be more likely to just bluster and posture and wave flags and then let profits decide what we do anyways.

                            Iran got pretty steamed about the movie 300, I remember. Not only were the Persians the bad guys but they had the most laughably unhistorical depiction of Persians ever.

                              The movie still got made. Unfortunately.

                                300 was priceless as a source of spoof material
