Here's something you don't see everyday downtown in the D.... a Chinese army banner being hung from the Griswold/Lafayette parking garage. The P-O-L-I-C-E lettering is also new... and fake, all prep work for the remake of
Red Dawn, a 1984 cheesy popcorn yarn about a foreign invasion on U.S soil. Very real in the background is the Lafayette Building (in the left) in early stages of demolition; could Hollywood ask for a better backdrop than Detroit for a movie searching for a bombed zone landscape?
The area south of Campus Martius is readying for the movie's big battle scene, or so insiders (the people standing around) tell us. 800 extras wearing Chinese army surplus garb will be running around with fake machine guns. Tanks will roll down Shelby and Griswold. Huge explosions will rock the streets and the resistance will take positions behind sandbag barriers. Stay tuned, kids, and we'll try to get more.
