Pretty much confirming that Summit that has a lot faith in the upcoming and buzzed about adaptation of the DC/Wildstorm comic “Red,” they’ve sent director Robert Schewentke and stars Bruce Willis and John Malkovich out to shoot one more scene that might tagged onto the end of the movie (our guess is that it’ll be an post-credits bonus scene). The film is still being fine tuned so it may not end up in the final cut at all. But don’t fear, that the film is in trouble. It has apparently tracking very well, and this is not a reshoot or additional photography. View it as an extra treat for when you see the movie in October.
The film follows Frank Moses (Bruce Willis), a retired black-ops CIA agent who finds that his former bosses are trying to kill him. Scrambling to survive and to protect the woman he loves (Mary Louise-Parker), he reassembles his old team (Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich, who is at his free-wheeling eccentric best) for the inevitable one last job. The cast is rounded out by Brian Cox, Karl Urban, Richard Dreyfuss, Ernest Borgnine and Julian McMahon.
Schwentke seems to be riding high on the buzz around the film with a number of projects crossing his plate lately including “The Osterman Weekend,” “R.I.P.D.,” “Shadow Divers” and “Wolverine 2.” All we’ll see if he’s worth they hype when “Red” opens on October 15th. [Heat Vision]
