Summit Entertainment recently hired on Bruce Willis for their adaptation of the comic book "Red" by Warren Ellis.
Now Slashfilm is reporting that Morgan Freeman is in talks to star alongside Willis in this real-life telling of the 3-issue mini-series first published in 2003.
The film is being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura ("Transformers").
Here is the official comic description from Wildstorm:
"As a C.I.A. operative, Paul Moses’s unique talent for killing took him around the world, from one hotspot to another, carrying out the deadly orders of his superiors. And when he retired, he wanted to put his bloody past behind him. But when a new administration takes over the White House, the powers that be decide that Moses knows too much, forcing him back into the game against the agency that trained him."
We're curious to know if they will try to adapt the comic's unique style. Can't wait to see the trailer for this one!
