In March 2011, the Los Angeles Times reported that MGM is changing the villains in its Red Dawn remake from Chinese to North Korean in order to maintain access to China's lucrative box office. The changes reportedly cost less than $1 million and involve changing an opening sequence summarizing the story's fictional backdrop, re-editing two scenes and using digital technology to transform many Chinese symbols to Korean. The changes will not eliminate all references to China though will give North Korea a much larger role in the coalition that invades the U.S. Producer Trip Vinson stated, "We were initially very reluctant to make any changes, but after careful consideration we constructed a way to make a scarier, smarter and more dangerous 'Red Dawn' that we believe improves the movie".[3]
Movies are getting boring, the only acceptable enemies in any story seem to be Aliens, North Koreans, evil White males, Zombies, Nazi's. The list can be extend in creative combinations like rich White North Koreans ,Space Nazis and Nazi Zombies.
On the other hand a movie depicting the invasion of Evil White Space Nazi North Korean Zombies would be something I'd for out 5 EUR for.
7 EUR if they make them Russian gangsters or terrorists too!
