The cast grows!
According to the Heat Vision Blog, Julian McMahon (Fantastic Four), Ernest Borgnine, Richard Dreyfuss and Brian Cox (X2: X-Men United) are in negotiations to join Red. McMahon would play a Vice President with a dark side, Borgnine will play the keeper of the CIA's darkest records, Dreyfuss will be a wealthy man who builds a fortune out of lucrative government contracts and Cox will be a former Cold War spy and nemesis of Bruce Willis.
Robert Schwentke (The Time Traveler's Wife) will direct Red, which will star Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren, and is based on the WildStorm/DC Comic, with Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian producing, and Erich and Jon Hoeber are writing the screenplay. Willis is set to play a former black-ops agent who has gone into retirement, but is forced back into action when a high-tech assassin threatens him and his girlfriend. John C. Reilly and Mary-Louise Parker are also in talks to join the cast.
