Alright, I haven’t read Warren Ellis’ Red, so I have no loyalty to it other than a begrudging expectation that it might be quite good – but I fully expect the movie to have been altered from the comic dramatically along the adaptation process anyway.
That said – this trailer’s awesome. It’s a fantastic cast – Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren (with big fucking guns!), Morgan Freeman, Mary Louise Parker, John Malkovich (who can be amazing or dreadful, depending on which John Malkovich shows up), Karl Urban, Richard Dreyfuss, Julian McMahon…like I said, it’s a fantastic cast and this has the potential to be a great movie.
And lord knows after the box office showings of The Losers (love the comic, still not seen it, still expect to like it) and Jonah Hex (love the comic, still not seen it, expect to hate it as the soulless bastardization of the genre that Wild Wild West only aspired to be), DC Entertainment need a hit with a lesser known property – so let’s hope this is it.
It looks interesting, but other than the main characters name it looks completely different. The book was just a retired agent, and his agency puts a hit on him. He goes on a rampage to get his life back, kind of a Taken/Bourne. Just a kick-ass action story.
Movie seems interesting, though completely unrelated.
