Dean Parisot (
Galaxy Quest, Fun with Dick and Jane) will be taking over for director Robert Schwentke on
RED 2, and the story follows our veteran team of retired spies (
Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker and Helen Mirren) as they use their old school methods to face new enemies across Europe.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and
Byung-Hun Lee join the mix this time and
Anthony Hopkins shows up, too. RED is based on the comic book series written by Warren Ellis and artist Cully Hamner published by WildStorm. Summit will be releasing RED 2 in theaters everywhere on August 2nd, 2013 this summer.
