The Hollywood Reporter, um, reports that Tom Cruise's son is one of four newly announced cast members of the upcoming "Red Dawn" remake. To which we respond, "ZOMG, they're remaking "Red Dawn?!?!"

Although the film has been in the works for some time now, this is getting very real now, as it is set to start shooting Sept. 8 in Michigan.

For the uninitiated, "Red Dawn" is one of the best movies ever. The 1984 original took a ridiculous premise ("The Breakfast Club" meets "Apocalypse Now") and plays it with a completely straight face. Cuba and the Soviet Union invade Colorado, and a ragtag band of teen guerrillas calling themselves "Wolverines" sparks a resistance movement against their foreign occupiers.

The remake transplants the action from Colorado to Spokane, Wash., and ups the villain ante, with the Chinese joining the Russians to invade the U.S.

Remaking a beloved film is fraught with peril, with results ranging from Best Movie Evah ("Star Trek") to Not So Much ("Land of the Lost"). The cast is being put through rigorous military training, a good sign that the remake will remain true to the original's deadly serious tone.

If we could throw our own two cents in, we would suggest adding in as many Swayze-riffic touches as possible. Maybe have the Wolverines hide out in a Road House, be joined in battle by their hill-folk Next of Kin and defeat their enemy in a climactic dance-off in the Catskills. OK, maybe not that last one.

The film is set for a September 2010 release, giving you plenty of time to catch up to the awesome original.
