LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Tom Cruise's son is among the newest Wolverines to join the remake of "Red Dawn," the 1984 action movie about a group of teenagers who form an insurgency when their town is invaded -- this time by Chinese and Russian soldiers. Cruise is playing Daryl, the mayor's son and best friend of tech geek Robert (Hutcherson, in the role originated by C. Thomas Howell).
Connor, 14, made his first acting debut as a young Will Smith in Seven Pounds last year. By the way, Connor is not Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's biological son. They adopted him as a small baby.
