MUMBAI: Helen Mirren will join Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman for Summit Entertainment‘s Red, a action thriller based on the WildStorm/DC Comics title originally written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Cully Hamner.

The film is about Paul Moses, a C.I.A. agent whose unique talent for killing took him around the world, from one hotspot to another, carrying out the deadly orders of his superiors. And when he retired, he wanted to put his bloody past behind him. But when a new administration takes over the White House, the powers that be decide that Moses knows too much, forcing him back into the game against the agency that trained him.  

Willis will play the retired CIA agent, Paul Moses. He must thwart a hit team sent by the new leader of the CIA (Freeman) intent upon tying up loose ends.
