Entertainment Weekly has revealed that four new members of the cast of the 2010 remake of “Red Dawn” have been added. Connor Cruise is one of them!
Here is the list of actors and the roles that they will play in the movie:
Josh Hutcherson (”Journey to the Center of the Earth”) in the role originated by C. Thomas Howell; Isabel Lucas (”Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”) in the role originated by Lea Thompson; Edwin Hodge (Fox’s “Mental”) in the role originated by Brad Savage; and Connor Cruise (son of Tom, “Seven Pounds”) in the role originated by Darrne Dalton.
I do not know very much about this movie, but did a little bit of research. The role that Connor Cruise will play is Daryl. If you have seen the movie, you probably know a lot more about “Daryl” than I do!
Here’s the plot summary of the 1984 original “Red Dawn”:
It is the mid-1980s. From out of the sky, Soviet & Cuban troops begin landing on the football field of a Colorado high school. In seconds, the paratroops have attacked the school & sent a group of teenagers fleeing into the mountains. Armed only with hunting rifles, pistols & bows and arrows, the teens struggles to survive the bitter winter & Soviet KGB patrols hunting for them. Eventually trouble arises when they kill a group of Soviet soldiers on patrol in the highlands. Soon, they will wage their own guerrilla warfare against the invading Soviet troops….under the banner of ‘Woverines’.
This sounds like a big step in the acting business for Connor!
