Here's a short description of the movie from Mania:


The movie stars Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman,with Willis playing an aging black-ops agent whose retirement is interrupted by a high-tech assassin.

Word is that the script for the film (by Jon and Erich Hoeber) uses the comics as a starting point, but fills in the blanks on the Ellis' sparely-written story. At three issues, the series left much of the Willis character's back story in question, and the whys and wherefores of the assassination attempt are very vague.


Aside from the start date of January, locations are also reported to be in Toronto to Louisiana. The film will be directed by Robert Schwentke

Again I have to admit I have not followed this comic series, but from the sounds of it I think Bruce Willis is perfect for the role and Morgan Freeman in my opinion is an actor who can do no wrong. I think I'll watch this movie.
