Gossip Teen

Once again, Hollywood is going to the well and committing to yet another ‘reboot’ - this time ‘Red Dawn’ is getting the update with a younger cast and a lot of hopes on money-making success. Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey and Charlie Sheen were part of the original cast of teens who fight back after the US is invaded by communists. 

Josh Peck will take on Sheen’s Matt Eckertt and his brother Jed Eckertt (originated by Swayze) will be played by Chris Hemsworth from this summer’s hot hot hot ‘Star Trek’  movie. Adrianne Palicki from ‘Friday Night Lights’  joins in Grey’s role of Toni Mason. So far, Peck (from his years as on Nickelodeon’s ‘Drake and Josh’ ) is the highest profile star attached to the 2010 version. Still more casting news to come.
