I don’t think I have ever seen Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis in a film together.   So, this is really awesome that Freeman is nearing a deal to star along with Bruce Willis in espionage thriller Red,  based on the WildStorm/DC Comic.

Brothers Erich Hoeber and Jon Hoeber are writing the script.

“Red” was originally written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Cully Hamner, last year. The three-book series, published in 2003 and 2004, tells the story of a former black-ops CIA agent now living a quiet life in retirement until the day a high-tech assassin shows up intent on killing him. Guess who would play the former CIA agent?
