Here is an interesting looking Aussie version of "Red Dawn", I Cant wait to download it from the Net or buy it on "Bootleg" DVD the next time im living in a 3rd world shithole.
This movie is based on the book "Tomorrow When the War Began" by John Marsden. Here is a little 411.
Tomahawk - Scouts Out!
Tomorrow, When the War Began is the first book in the Tomorrow novel series by John Marsden. It is a young adult invasion novel, detailing a high-intensity invasion and occupation of Australia by a foreign power. The novel is told in first person perspective by the main character, a teenage girl named Ellie Linton, who is part of a small band of teenagers waging a guerrilla war on the enemy garrison in their fictional home town of Wirrawee.
Tomorrow, When the War Began was adapted into a feature film of the same name that was released on 2 September 2010 in Australia and New Zealand. It was written and directed by Stuart Beattie, and starred Caitlin Stasey in the role of Ellie Linton.
