Helen Mirren Joins Cast Of Red Now Filming - Tuesday November 3, 2009Actress takes small role in Robert Schwentke's comic book adaptationSource: ScreenDaily.comHelen Mirren has signed on to star in Robert Schwentke's big screen adaptation of the DC Comics book, Red.
According to ScreenDaily.com, who have been discussing some of the American films looking for distribution and financing at the American Film Market's AFI Fest this week, the adaptation of the Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner comic book is to begin shooting on January 11, 2010, and the Oscar-winning actress has joined the already announced cast of Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman.
Willis will be playing 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 i.e. former agents such as Moses who know too much. More than likely, Mirren will be playing Freeman's predecessor, Moses' handler who he has kept in touch with over the phone while living in seclusion after retiring. It is not clear yet whether Mirren's character will actually be on screen at all, or just at the end of a phone line.
Stay tuned to Screenrush for more updates.
