We know him best for playing Thor, the hammer-wielding demigod, but before he took on the starring role in Thor, Chris Hemsworth signed on to lead the cast in the remake of Red Dawn. Hemsworth plays the older brother charged with taking care of his younger sibling – along with his little brother’s friends – after North Korea invades the U.S.
In this video courtesy of FilmDistrict and Open Road Films, Hemsworth talks about his knowledge of the original movie, what drew him to Red Dawn, and the training process. He also discusses bonding with the cast, his character’s relationship with Adrianne Palicki’s character, and the movie’s lighter moments.
Watch the video:
The Plot:
Red Dawn tells the story of a group of teens in small town America that escapes capture and bands together to form a guerilla-style resistance, known to them at the Wolverines, when the United States is invaded by North Korean forces. Jed, as the member of the Wolverines with actual military experience, becomes the leader of the militia as they fight to free their country.
