The movie will debut on November 2, 2012, three years after it was originally shot, reports the Los Angeles Times.
Chris Hemsworth, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Josh Peck and Adrianne Palicki star in the invasion film, which will be released by FilmDistrict.
The movie sees a group of American citizens organising themselves into a guerrilla unit when their hometown becomes the first target in a foreign invasion.
The 1984 original pitted the protagonists against Soviet forces.
The remake originally recast the villains as Chinese, but these were later digitally altered to North Koreans to avoid insult to China.
MGM, which originally produced the film in 2009, decided not to push ahead with the release after it emerged from bankruptcy.
Bradley worked as second unit director on the last two Bourne films and the upcoming Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

North Korea? They do not even have close to the troop strength to do that. The Chinese now could try it.

If they had any nuts they would make the Federal Government the bad guys.

The last minute change to North Korea is probably what buggered it up. North Korea is pretty much third world though, so it's not going to make much sense.

Another year! Bloody hell. The only remake in years I've been waiting for and now I have to wait another 12 months. Surprised this hasn't gone straight to BluRay.
