Robert Schwentke Reconvenes Bruce Willis And John Malkovich To Shoot An Epilogue For 'Red'

Briefly: Robert Schwentke's movie Red is evidently testing well, and I've heard great things about it from a few people who've seen big chunks of the movie. (And it's doing well enough that Schwentke is now up for gigs like Wolverine 2.)

But the film isn't quite done, and the director is down in Louisiana this weekend with Bruce Willis and John Malkovich to shoot a new scene for the film. THR says this isn't a reshoot in the usual sense. Rather, it is an addition to the movie: a one-minute gag that will (presumably) be an after-credits tag.

I know there is some resistance to the film based in part on the fact that it seems to seriously depart from the comic upon which it is based. But look at the cast: Willis, Malkovich, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Mary-Louise Parker, Julian McMahon, Richard Dreyfuss, Ernest Borgnine and Brian Cox. That's a hell of a lineup, and I can't wait to see them romping through what looks like a sort of action farce.
