Red Light District

John Malkovich will replace John C. Reilly on Robert Schwentke's comic book adaptation "Red" reports Variety.

The story follows a former black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is now living a quiet life. That is, until the day a hi-tech assassin shows up intent on killing him.

With his secret identity compromised and his love interest in danger, Frank must reassemble his old team to figure out who is out to get them.

Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Mary-Louise Parker, Julian McMahon, Ernest Borgnine, Richard Dreyfuss, Brian Cox and James Remar co-star.

Erich and Jon Hoeber adapted the screenplay.

Filming kicks off in Toronto and Louisiana this month for a release in the Fall.

Malkovich meantime is talking all about those "Spider-Man 4 rumors...

BadTaste.it reports that when asked about the film recently, he "not only didn't deny his involvement, but confirmed that he's waiting for the final script to be sent to him, and that the movie has been delayed. He also hopes that shooting will begin as soon as possible."

It sounds like Malkivich is in the pic--if the parties solve the villian conundrum--going Sam Raimi's way.

Spidey himself Tobey Maguire puts the whole mess in a positive light telling The Envelope that "we're just in the midst of the process. We have a lot of great stuff in terms of story and script. We're just trying to dial it in and get it ready as quickly as possible."

Make no mistake This delay is a mess
