Red Dawn

Red Dawn is a 2028 future action film based on the 1984 film and 2012 remake of the same name. It's a reimagined Red Dawn involving a crossover between two video games Doki Doki Literature Club Plus which was released in 2021 and Friday Night Funkin which was released in 2020. The film centers a Resistance group stopping the Monikan (Japanese) invasion which took place in San Diego. This movie is inspired by the video game Homefront, a video game about North Korea reuniting with South Korea, annexing Southeast Asia, parts of Oceania and then invading the west coast and midwest part of the USA.

Plot
An introductory montage shows the European Union suffering from an economic crisis and a weaker NATO Alliance dealing with a powerful imperial Monikan Empire (Japan) ruled by a 29 year old Monika and a ultranationalist-dominated Russia. A worse crisis hits USA worser than the Great Depression and makes the USA weaker.

U.S. Marine Jed Eckert is home on leave in San Diego, California. He reunites with his father, San Diego Police Segarent Tom Eckert, and his brother Matt who is a football player, as well as his childhood friend now girlfriend Toni Walsh, and her friend Erica Martin, Matt's Girlfriend. When it was Saturday in the morning Jed and Matt drove their truck to go to Cars and Coffee in Rancho Santa Fe, a census-designated place in San Diego County. When they got there they met a man who has aLambo, they have a conversation about his car and everything else. Suddenly their conversation was interrupted and they look up in the sky shocked to see swarms of Monikan paratroopers and transport aircraft. Jed Eckert and Matt ran to go back to their truck while the guy went back to his Lambo but he ended up getting shot when he went inside by a paratrooper. Their father tells them to flee to the cabin while he helps the townspeople. They are joined there by Robert Kitner, Daryl Jenkins, Danny Jackson, Aardvark, siblings Sam and Eric, couples Boyfriend and Girlfriend, Senpai, and later Toni; Erica was captured by the Monikans. Tensions build as teens try to surrender to the invaders or resist, with Senpai betraying their position. Monikan soldiers under the command of Captain Itami bring Sergeant Eckert and the mayor out to convince the group to surrender; while the Mayor convinces the group to surrender, Itami kills Segarant Eckert because he refused to cooperate and encouraged the group to resist.

Later, Jed tells everyone they are going to fight and the others agreed to join him, calling themselves "Wolverines" just like their school mascot.

In Downtown San Diego, Monikan and Russian soliders impose order after a hasty occupation. Captain Itami instructs the Imperial Soliders to find the Wolverines so they can get turned in.

Trivia
The word “red” on Red Dawn 2028 is associated with imperialism rather than communism unlike the original and remake of Red Dawn.

•The film was originally going to be called “Green Dawn” but the actor/screenwriter’s uncle said having a different name will confuse people.

• Originally Christian Reyes, the actor/screenwriter who plays Robert Kitner was going to have his 2 cousins Gino and Jaylene, their couples Stephanie and Thomas, and other family members cast on the film. But he decided to scrap them off because he admits that he will not get along with them off camera and start an argument during the film. Christian Reyes also claims that his aunt named Karen wanted to sabotage his film idea by putting the family in there after he told her that they are not going to be on there. The only family members on the movie is his second cousins Nikolas Mabani, Tavo only for a minor appearance, and Brandon Mabani who he refers as "Uncle Brandon".

• The actor/screenwriter Christian wants Monika to be played by a Japanese actress who is 5’7” because he claims Monika’s official height is 5’7” and he argues that in order to make it into realism Monika has to be pure Japanese.

• The reason why the film is going to be released in 2028 because the screenwriter/actor Christian Reyes is a minor.

•This film is going to happen only if the actors/actresses are okay acting.
