Connor Cruise Following In Father's Footsteps, Signs On To Second Big Film Role

connorreddawn.jpg
Connor's taking after his dad Tom, jumping into his second major movie role (his first was as a young Will Smith in Seven Pounds) in the remake of the 80s classic Red Dawn.

THR reports that Cruise will play Daryl, the son of the town's mayor who helps mount a resistance when the town is invaded by Chinese and Russian troops.

Connor will have to go through a few weeks of military training before the shoot starts next month in Detroit.

But military training should be a breeze compared to his Scientology training, right?



Or at least it should prepare him for the strict discipline of basic training!

We do NOT need a remake of red dawn, that movie was awesome... come up with some new idea's hollywood, no offense to Conner & whoever else they cast, but you'll never beat the original.

Why no mention of his extremely talented MOTHER? Last time I checked she was the one with the Oscar!

I can't wait to see if this kid can act. But the cast seem pretty cool, man I can almost imagine the cool Breakfast Club vibe this movie is gonna have, but the remake should tweak the script to the max, cause the old plot is kind of cheesy for new times.

Red Dawn with Black people? Wasn't the remake of the Honeymooners with "Cedric the Entertainer" enough to teach you dopes a lesson? Please...I'll pass.

So you do not to have acting classes or acting skills to be in a movie anymore I guess. Just have to have a rich daddy.

He needs to lose some weight first. I am so not interested in watching an overweight scientologist on movie screen.

Ahhh let's see. I believe Connor has a showbiz Mom who is also an actor. Perhaps he is following in HER footsteps as well.
