"It's important to enjoy life while you still can."
2010 was a big year for aging action heroes with the release of both RED and The Expendables. However, instead of a group of work-for-hire mercenaries, RED followed a group of retired CIA agents (the title stood for "Retired, Extremely Dangerous") led by Bruce Willis who reassemble after they discover that the agency is out to eliminate Willis. The results were better than expected, with RED earning nearly $200 million worldwide — far above expectations — which can only mean one thing in Hollywood: sequel.

Academy Award–nominated actor John Malkovich is no stranger to genre movies, appearing in two comic book adaptations last year — RED and Jonah Hex (sorry about that last one, John). Malkovich's latest role will have him waging war on the undead.
Variety reports that Malkovich is in final negotiations to join Summit Entertainment's adaptation of Warm Bodies, based on the novel by Isaac Marion. Directed by Jonathan Levine (the upcoming 50/50), Warm Bodies follows an existentially tormented zombie named R (Nicholas Hoult) who falls for a human woman (Teresa Palmer) after devouring her boyfriend. His emotions begin a chain reaction amongst the undead. Malkovich will play General Grigio, who is obsessed with destroying the zombie threat and is also the father of the Palmer. Malkovich as a villain is usually a good time, so consider us pleased with the casting choice.
Production on Warm Bodies starts this month. Levine adapted the screenplay from Marion's novel.

Director Michael Bay surprised fans when he announced that he had cast highly respected actors Frances McDormand and John Malkovich for his upcoming Transformers 3. The roles the actors were to play was not mentioned, but Malkovich spoke to HitFix about his role, explaining that his work on the movie was "all just scene work" with only "one explosion." To no one's surprise, Malkovich, who played the villain in Jonah Hex, described his character as "a jerk."
I play a guy called Bruce Brazos, who's just a loudmouth, kind of business man who's Shia [LaBeouf]'s character's boss. Who's just a jerk, and a kind of a loud one. But [a] fun character. Nice. It was fun. Very, very enjoyable, just with Shia, Rosie [Huntington-Whiteley] a little bit, and with John Turturro. So, for me, it was a blast.
Bay has apologized for the criticism of the previous sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and has promised a "better" Transformers 3. LaBeouf has also said that Transformers 3 will not disappoint, adding that the upcoming sequel will feature "a lot of death, human death."

With an ensemble cast that includes such Hollywood heavyweights as Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, and Academy Award-winner Dame Helen Mirren, just to name a few, RED contains enough star power for several movies. To help audiences get acquainted with the large cast of characters, Warner Bros. has started releasing clips spotlighting each of the RED ("Retired, Extremely Dangerous") operatives. The first clip released focused on Dame Mirren's character, Victoria, who fights the boredome of retirement with an occasional odd job that requires heavy ordnance. The latest clip features Malkovich as Marvin, an extremely reclusive and paranoid explosives expert who lives in an underground bunker.

The comic book adaptation of Red isn't far from its October 15 release date, but director Robert Schwentke is bringing cast members Bruce Willis and John Malkovich out to Louisiana to shoot some more.
The director isn't filming reshoots (usually considered a sign of trouble) or new scenes (usually considered a sign of big trouble), but a mere 60 seconds of additional footage to be used at the end of the credits.
According to THR, the additional footage who play retired operatives brought out of retirement after Willis is attacked by an assassin and almost killed. The scene could still not make into the final movie as Schwentke and crew are still "tinkering" with the movie.
Based on the comic book by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, RED also stars Morgan Freeman, and Helen Mirren, Mary-Louise Parker, Karl Urban, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss, and Ernest Borgnine.

The first full-length trailer for DC Entertainment's latest comic book movie adaptation, Red, premiered yesterday during the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel for the movie and is now online. Based on the graphic novel of the same name created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, RED, which stands for "Retired, Extremely Dangerous," follows a group of over-the-hill CIA operatives who are targeted for termination because they are deemed security risks for their extensive knowledge of the agency's black ops programs. However, these operatives didn't earn the designate "RED" without a reason, as this explosive new trailer demonstrates.
