It’s a Red Dawn for Lucas and Hemsworth.

Both Isabel Lucas‘s (Tasha Andrews) and Chris Hemsworth‘ss (Kim Hyde) success is beginning to snowball in the States now that they both are set to star in the MGM remake of the 1984 US war film, Red Dawn.

“Lucas 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.”

She’sll play along side Hemsworth (who’sll also take the lead role), Josh Peck (Drake & Josh; Mean Creek) and Adrianne Palicki (Smallville; Supernatural)

“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.”
