The film should be a pretty star studded affair with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, Brian Cox, Karl Urban, John Malkovich, Richard Dreyfuss, Ernest Borgnine, Julian McMahon, and Rebbeca Pidgeon. That enough stars for you? The film is directed by Robert Schwentke (Flightplan), with a screenplay from Erich Hoeber and Jon Hoeber (Whiteout).
As happy as I am to see a Warren Ellis comic be adapted for the screen, it is probably one of my least favorite. Although, it is an easier tale for mass consumption than his truly great works like Planetary and Transmetropolitan. What worries me the most about this project is the behind the camera talent. There is no doubt that talent here seems to be front loaded. One of the worst films of last year was a thriller based on a graphic novel, Whiteout, and it worries that it is the same writers who are adapting Red. I make no final judgements until I see the final project, but I hope it is good. (Oh, and bring on any other Ellis project you can Hollywood, how about finally making Global Frequency?)
