Still, I can tell you in the original, the "Red" enemy is Soviet, not Chinese. It was after all made during the cold war, and any remake ought to replace the antagonist with a current one.
The remake was to use the Chinese as the antagonist.
That's nice, but I don't think you're getting what GIThruster is saying. It makes far less sense to depict China, a major trading partner, as the absolute enemy vs a country currently pursuing nuclear weapons who is likely to use them. The whole thing is idiotic though.....per the pre-listed reasons of impossibility. You'd really need a willing population and you aren't going to find one here in the U.S.
Hollyweird suffers from remakeitis, they're so scared of a money loser they only redo box office hits from years before. In this case will probably backfire.

It is when creativity is defined by marketing departments. They make statistics and their statistics say black on white that millions of americans liked that movie. Their statistics dont say that anyone liked that new idea for a movie that someone was trying to sell to them. You cant make statistics on something that does not exist yet.
But it is alright, when the movie tanks the executives will save their asses by bringing another statistic that says that it is all "the fault of the internet". I think the shit that they are showing in the movies right now is not even worth pirating...
