Summit Already Planning 'Red 3' Before 'Red 2' Even Opens, Because Old People With Guns Is Always Funny
19 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While the sequel to "Red," the 2010 action comedy that starred Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and Morgan Freeman as over-the-hill assassins, doesn't open until the middle of July, Lionsgate and producers Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian are already plotting a third film, with screenwriting siblings Jon and Erich Hoeber back for a third go-around (according to the Hollywood Reporter). "Thank god!" said nobody. "Red" was based on the comic book miniseries by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner (although without much of the book's wit and explosive bursts of violence), the title standing for "retired extreme dangerous," and in its original film version, directed by Robert Schwentke, with a fair amount of visual flair. The end product of that film felt slightly watered down, with a number of concessions made to meet the seemingly impossible release date, like losing the distinctly funky music by Irish DJ and frequent Steven Soderbergh »

Work begins on Red 3

News Simon Brew 20 May 2013 - 06:48
The writers of Red and Red 2 are at work on Red 3, even before the second film has been released...
The current Hollywood tactic of starting work on the next film in a franchise before the one that's being made is even released is ongoing. The upside to this is pretty obvious, in that it allows a sharper, faster turnaround between films, thus cutting down the time between them. The downside? Should the current movie bomb, a studio will have spent money on a sequel script for nothing (hello Green Lantern 2!).
With Red 2 arriving in cinemas this summer though, Summit Entertainment must be cautiously optimistic that is has another hit on its hand. The first film made a solid profit off a box office take just shy of $199m, and Summit will surely be looking for the Dean Parisot-directed sequel to do that sort of business. »

Summit hires screenwriters for Red 3
19 May 2013 11:03 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Despite the fact that the action-comedy sequel Red 2 doesn't hit cinemas until July, Summit Entertainment must be confident that it has another hit on its hands, with Deadline revealing that the studio has hired screenwriting siblings Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber (whose credits include Red and Red 2, along with the 2009 thriller Whiteout and last year's Hasbro board game adaptation-turned-alien actioner Battleship) to pen the script for Red 3.
The Red franchise is based upon the comic book series by Warren Ellis and Cully Hammer and centres on a trio of 'Retired, Extremely Dangerous' ex black-ops agents, portrayed by Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich. The forthcoming sequel sees Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) taking over directing duties from Red helmer Robert Schwentke, while Mary-Louise Parker returns to the cast alongside new additions Byung-hun Lee (G.I. Joe: Retaliation), Anthony Hopkins (Thor: The Dark World), and Catherine Zeta-Jones (Side Effects).

Never likely to turn down the chance for a franchise, Summit Entertainment was quick to capitalise on the solid success of Bruce Willis action comedy ensemble pic Red back in 2010.

The second film finds Bruce back as retired black ops agent Frank Moses, trying to live a quieter life with girlfriend Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker). But things are never that simple for Frank, and soon old pal »

Summit Is Moving Forward With Red 3
18 May 2013 5:01 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Red 2 isn’t even out yet but already Summit Entertainment is moving forward with Red 3. The studio has signed on Jon and Erich Hoeber (who wrote the first two films) to pen a third instalment. Of course, it’s far too early for any further details but we can safely say that Red 2 will probably not be the last of these characters.
Now, it’s important to remember that the existence of a Red 3 doesn’t necessarily mean that the studio has a ton of faith in the property. Perhaps they just want to be prepared in the event that Red 2 is a big hit. More and more these days we see studios doing this kind of thing, rushing out sequels to keep their franchises relevant. This mentality has got its pros and cons but in the case of Red, all I can say is, why?

Red Scribes Jon and Erich Hoeber Tapped to Pen Red 3
17 May 2013 4:31 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Red 2 isn't due out for another month, but Summit has already tapped the screenwriting duo of Jon and Erich Hoeber to pen the threequel. The siblings certainly know their spy stuff as they've written both the original film and the sequel, which is testing high and giving the studio confidence of another go-round. News of Red 3 may take a bit of the tension out of the plot of Red 2, which sees retired CIA operatives going back into the field in order to track down a portable nuclear device. Heat Vision reports that production on Red 3 could start as early as January 2014, pending script approval; no deals with the cast have been made as of yet. The Dean Parisot-directed sequel stars Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Mary-Louise Parker and Byung-hun Lee. Red 2 opens July 19th. »

Summit Entertainment Has Already Hired Writers to Script 'Red 3'
17 May 2013 3:52 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
It's getting to the point that having a studio put a sequel into development before the first film or next sequel hits theaters isn't really a showing of faith in the property. Essentially, it just means the studio wants to be prepared as soon as possible if the film turns out to be a hit. And that's likely what's being done at Summit Entertainment with a report from THR revealing that the Lionsgate division of the studio has hired Jon and Erich Hoeber to script Red 3, a sequel to their two previous films about a dangerous group of retired special operatives featuring Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren and more. Read on! The second film doesn't even hit theaters until late August, so if it turns out well for Summit and Lionsgate, it sounds like they want to be ready as soon as possible, perhaps in an effort for the »

Red 3 is Moving Into Development

Red 2 isn't even going to be released in theaters until July 19th, but Summit Entertainment isn't going to wait around to see how it does before they start developing Red 3. The studio already hired back Jon and Erich Hoeber to write a third installment of the action franchise. They are the same guys who wrote the first two films. Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian will be back to produce the film as well.
I loved the first film, and I'm excited to see the sequel. It's looks pretty amazing. It's so early one that there's no information on what the story will be about, but I imagine it will involve the same core cast that includes Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, and Mary Louise-Parker.
