There is no rest for Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Right after he finished filming The Losers, he immediately jumped into the remake of Red Dawn. Morgan appears to be excited about it, saying “I just love that f**king movie, ever since I was a kid.” He goes on to talk about his role, saying “I guess I’m more or less the old Powers Booth character. There’s all the kids and Powers Booth is the pilot that lands in the film and kind of helps them take down the bad guys. Blow communism away. It’s a really good, young cast. I’ll be the old guy in it, which is cool.” It’s been a while since we have seen an actor have so much zeal for a role without threatening to tear lights down in the process. [Comingsoon.net]
