Comic-Con Trailer: Red

The panel for the graphic novel adaptation Red at Comic-Con today was one of the most entertaining. Bruce Willis was funny as usual, Helen Mirren was really amusing and clearly having fun with a role that is so different for her, and I really like Mary-Louise Parker. It is just a shame that Morgan Freeman wasn’t there too, but there are so many big name stars that appear in Red that some were going to have to be left out.

While I remain somewhat iffy on the film as it just hasn’t clicked with me even after seeing the new trailer, the crowd completely ate it up. It was clear that a nerve had been struck eliciting a wild reaction which could be a good sign of its prospects going forward. Red is slated to release on October 15th.
