Warren Ellis’ Red Comic Being Adapted

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Wildstorm/DC Comics property Red is becoming a movie courtesy of Summit Entertainment. Red is the brainchild of acclaimed scribe Warren Ellis and is the first DC movie not done by Time Warner since they became DC’s parent company.

DC isn’t completely hands off, however. DC vice president of creative affairs Gregory Noveck will be an executive producer on the film. Red tells the story of a retired black ops CIA agent who has to reassemble his old team after someone tries to take them out. The older agent has to deal with younger assassins and newer technology as well as the endangerment of his love interest. I’m not familiar with this one, but I like just about everything I’ve read by Ellis so I’ll check it out. Hopefully the adaptation is faithful to his work.
