Comic-Con Trailer: Red
The panel for the graphic novel adaptation Red at Comic-Con today was one of the most entertaining.

While I remain somewhat iffy on the film as it just hasn't clicked wi...

The movie also stars Olivia Wilde and Michael Sheen. The story centers on Sam attempting to find his father, who has ...

In an interview with the LA Times, Snyder shared some more details.
