dnp52td Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Isabel Lucas to undergo military tranining for Red Dawn remake http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertain...i-1225759939244 ISABEL Lucas's latest project is as a Wolverine. The 24-year-old Australian will be thankful the part doesn't actually require her to wear any bodysuit and she's not in a new Hugh Jackman project. She's signed on to star in MGM/UA's remake of the 1984 US war film, Red Dawn. Lucas, who was in Transformers; The Revenge of the Fallen, will play a Wolverine, the name of the local football team that a group of US high school students who form an insurgency when their town is invaded - this time by Chinese and Russian soldiers - call themselves. Josh Hutcherson, Tom Cruise's son Connor Cruise and Edwin Hodge have also signed on for the project, The Hollywood Reporter states. They join Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck and Adrianne Palicki. Hutcherson will play Robert, originally played by C. Thomas Howell, and become the group's tech geek. Lucas is Erica, head cheerleader and the Peck character's girlfriend whom he desperately hopes to spring from an internment camp. Lea Thompson played the character in the original. The young cast heads off in a few weeks for military training in an undisclosed location, with filming scheduled to begin next month in Detroit for a September 2010 release. How weird! to have a big Hollywood movie and not only be working with your ex boyfriend but 2 people from Home & Away in the same movie!
cocoblush Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 haha i was thinking just last night that it would be cool to see Isabel and Chris in a big Hollywood movie together now i see this
devon Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Wow!...she and Chris are making it fairly big in Hollywood. Fair play to them though.
claire_louise Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 What are the chances of them getting back together and becoming the latest Hollywood 'golden couple'? Not that I'm cynical or anything! I'm really glad they're doing well though.
SummerBayLocal Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 The title of this thread got me worried for a minute there. I thought she was actually going to play Wolverine from X-Men. Thank goodness that isn't the case.
emmasi Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Oh A Wolverine. That was a confusing couple of seconds! Chris is really churning out the movies. Glad to see Izzy's getting a cut of the action too
jenlee Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 "Wolverines!!" This is pretty great for her, though I'm a little iffy about a Red Dawn remake. But that's only because I heart the original and the actors in the original
Formerly Known as FKAJ Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 OK, giving a title as misleading as that is just cruel. But yeah, this could be good. I haven't seen the original, but it seems to read like an American "Tomorrow When the War Began."

I'm really glad they're doing well though. That would be soo good, hehe Congrats to Isabel for landing another big role. I can't wait to see her and Chris together (on screen) again!
Formerly Known as FKAJ Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 This is incredible - I've just found out Jason Smith is in this as well, albeit in a less important role. Since last August, I've seen the original and I was kind of underwhelmed - too 80s for me I guess. I'm still looking forward to the remake though.
