Sadly, we have not read Mr Ellis’ RED<\/a>. This will have to change very soon.<\/p>\n

Official Synopsis<\/strong>
\nRed is the story of Frank Moses , a former black-ops CIA agent, who is now living a quiet life. That is, until the day a hi-tech assassin shows up intent on killing him. With his identity compromised and the life of the woman he cares for, Sarah , endangered, Frank reassembles his old team (Freeman, Malkovich and Mirren) <\/a>in a last ditch effort to survive.<\/p>\n

What We Learned:<\/strong>
\nAs we grow older, seeing well-aged professionals kick the snot out of wet-behind-the-ears whippersnappers becomes more poignant.<\/p>\n

Why We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re Gonna Watch:<\/strong>
\nIt’s right there in the post title. “Helen Mirren with a machine gun!” John Malkovich as a drugged out weapons expert, Morgan Freeman being Morgan Freeman, and Mary-Louise Parker being her sexy self are just gravy on that sandwich.<\/p>\n

That’s right. A gravy sandwich!<\/p>\n

When’s it coming?<\/strong>
\nOctober 15, 2010<\/p>\n

Official site:<\/strong>
\nhttp:\/\/www.red-themovie.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n


\nOn Whitechapel, a message board we need to keep better tabs on, Ellis shared<\/a> a small bit on the film adaptation of his <\/a>and Cully Hamner<\/a>‘s comic creation.<\/p>\n

\nEveryone will recognise the first ten minutes as coming from the book<\/a>. Then, after that, it wanders off on its own, coming back to the book on a few occasions in terms of literal adaptation.
\n-Warren Ellis<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You’ve inspired Helen Mirren with a machine gun and, possibly, Mary-Louise Parker being a bad-ass spy all wrapped together in a kick-ass trailer. We think we can live with the changes.<\/p>\n

At least, we hope we can.<\/p>\n

While we wait for the official one-sheet to appear, have some comic covers<\/a> of the movie source material.<\/p>\n
