Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s 14-year-old son Connor will star in the remake of the 1984 movie “Red Dawn,” according to Access Hollwood.

The film is about teens who battle Russian soldiers to prevent an invasion.  The film will also star Josh Hutcherson, Edwin Hodge and Isabel Lucas. 

The original “Red Dawn” movie earned $38 million at the box office. 

Connor’s first movie role was a brief appearance in the Will Smith movie “Seven Pounds” in 2008.

No one should ever doubt that Will Smith is a very generous guy.  He earns about $20 million per movie, and according to his tax returns that were obtained by Fox News, he gave $1.3 million to charity organizations last year.

But what I found most interesting is that he donated $122,500 to the Church of Scientology.  The same church that his best friend Tom Cruise is so obsessive about.

Will has always denied rumors that he was involved in the Church of Scientology, but obviously he is, otherwise why would he donate $122,500?

I admit, I don’t much about that particular religion. But I do know that Tom Cruise is a member of it, and he used to be very judgemental about people who used medication to treat their postpartum depression (such as Brook Shields) because its against his Scientology beliefs.

Remember his infamous interview a while back with Matt Lauer? The clip is posted below.
