Red 2
About a month after getting confirmation from producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura that Red 2 (the sequel to Summit’s 2010 hit Red) is a go, it looks like the project has found a director.
Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) is in final talks with the studio to helm the follow-up to the $90 million domestic grossing original.
Starring Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich, the original Red (Retired. Extremely Dangerous.) followed a retired black-ops agent (Willis) as he reassembled his former team in an effort to flush out an assassin. While the original writers Jon and Erich Hoeber are back for the rewrite, there’s no word on when (or if) the original cast could reunite for the sequel.
Variety reported that Parisot will be on board for Red 2, even if production is a bit distant at the moment. Willis is apparently in the process of working out his schedule while the remaining cast are awaiting deals. Parisot counts the 1999 cult film, Galaxy Quest to his directorial credits as well as numerous TV shows.
