Josh Hutcherson Talks Red Dawn and Remakes

Josh Hutcherson’s been working in feature films since 2003, but with his starring role as ‘Peeta’ in The Hunger Games, the 20 year old actor was catapulted to a new level of fame. However, back before he was cast to play the baker’s son who becomes Katniss’ partner in the Hunger Games arena, Hutcherson took on the role of ‘Robert’ in the remake of Red Dawn.
 
Delayed since 2010 (it was filmed in 2009), Red Dawn is finally in theaters and in this video courtesy of Open Road Films, Hutcherson talks about remaking the ’80s action film. He also discusses the story, boot camp, bonding with the cast, his female co-stars, working with Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and being directed by Dan Bradley.

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.
