Red Dawn gets a director and writer

Red Dawn, the upcoming remake of the cult classic alternate history movie, has had a director and writer attached.

Dan Bradley will be taking over the helm on the film, which follows the story of a group of children who end up on the wrong side of the battle lines after America is invaded by the Soviet Union. This will be Bradley’s first film in the hot seat, having typically served as a stunt coordinator and second unit/assistant director on previous productions.

The script will be written by Carl Ellsworth (Red Eye, Disturbia), who is basing his screenplay off of one previously written by Jeremy Passmore.
