Looks like the Red Dawn remake with Josh Hutcherson will be making its debut at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas which takes place from 9/20/12-9/27/12.

According to the L.A. Times :

After a bankruptcy, a sale and a makeover, the controversial remake of “Red Dawn” will premiere later this month, closing out Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas.

The film is a remake of the 1984 action film starring Patrick Swayze, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey, Charlie Sheen and Brad Savage as a group of Colorado teenagers (nicknamed the Wolverines) who wage a guerrilla war against invading Soviet Union forces.

In the remake, the teens are from Spokane, Wash., and are played by a new generation of heartthrobs : Chris Hemsworth (“Snow White and the Huntsman”), Josh Hutcherson (“The Hunger Games”), Adrianne Palicki (“Friday Night Lights), Josh Peck (“Drake & Josh”) and Connor Cruise (“Seven Pounds”), among others. But instead of playing to Cold War-era fears of a Soviet occupation, the screenplay called for Chinese invaders.

“Red Dawn” is slated to hit theaters Nov. 21. Its Fantastic Fest world premiere at the Alamo Drafthouse will be accompanied by a “Korean-invasion-themed” party at the Austin American Legion, according to representatives of the genre film festival.

    I live like 3 hours away from Austin, maybe I can swing on by and see it if I can make it. I saw the original years ago and I’m undecided if I want to see the remake, the original was a classic and even though it was depressing to watch, it was one of my favorite films, Patrick Sawyze, C. Thomas Howell and Jennifer Grey were awesome in the film. I’m sure if I give the remake a chance Josh Hutcherson, Chris Hemsworth and others would be just as good.
