The cast of DC Comics adaptation Red is swelling with word that Julian McMahon, Ernest Borgnine, Brian Cox and Richard Dreyfuss are all in negotiations to sign up.
The thriller will follow a former black ops agent (Bruce Willis) who discovers that his retirement won't be the quiet life he planned for when high-tech assassins arrive to take him down.
McMahon, still best known as Dr Doom in the Fantastic Four movies, is dipping back into the dark side to play a dodgy Vice President. Borgnine will be the keeper of the CIA's less palatable secrets, Dreyfuss is playing a rich contractor and Cox is a former foe of Willis' character.
Already on board are Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John C Reilly and Mary Louise Parker, which officially makes this the most eclectic cast ever for a comic book adaptation.
Robert Schwentke has the job of keeping them all motivated and will start in January…

The guy who is presumably "Red" in the comic book picture looks almost identical to unlikely succesfull footballer turned thesp Vinnie Jones and given his comic book movie history surely would be available for the part no?...
