Lady In Red

Oscar winner Helen Mirren joins Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis for the comic book adaptation Red says Screen Daily.

Based on the series by Warren Ellis, Willis plays retired CIA agent Paul Moses who must fight a hit team sent by the new leader of the CIA (Freeman) who wants to clean up loose ends including eliminating old spies who know too much.

Though not specified, Mirren's role is likely that of Freeman's now-retired predecessor who lives in seclusion. The character is also the former handler of Willis' agent.

Erich and Jon Hoeber adapted the screenplay for the film.

So cool that someone of Mirren's caliber would do a comic book film!

Robert Schwentke calls the shots when filming kicks off this January in Toronto and Louisiana for release next Thanksgiving.
