The remake of the 1984 film "Red Dawn" has announced additional cast members to be joining Chris Hemsworth, Adrianne Palicki and Josh Peck.
The biggest name on the list is Connor Cruise, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's adopted son.
The 14-year-old made his acting debut last December, playing the younger version of Will Smith's character in "Seven Pounds."
According to Reuters, Cruise will act in the role of Daryl, which was played by Darren Dalton in the original movie.

205 W Long Lake Rd., Troy
Also joining the cast are John Hutcherson who has previously been seen in "Journey to the Center of the Earth," Isabel Lucas from "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and Edwin Hodge of Fox's "Mental."
The "Red Dawn" remake will feature the Wolverines fighting off Chinese and Russian soldiers this time around, instead of Soviets.
The film will be shot in Detroit from September through December this year and is set to be released in September of 2010.
The film is actively seeking paid extras in the Metro Detroit area.
The gig could be a good way to make extra cash, and those who land a role might even spot Tom or Nicole on set.
