The Warren Ellis graphic novel Red may be undergoing some interesting adaptations from the source material. The film's producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura recently mentioned that since the book wasn't long enough for a full length feature film transition, extra stuff had to be added to flesh out the story.
"It's really funny. I guess if I had to be pinned down I'd say it's an action/comedy as a movie - as a genre," said Bonaventura.
Bonaventura went on to talk about Ellis' involvement,
"It's evolution has been a really interesting one to follow and it's been interesting to talk to Warren (Ellis) about it too, because he's been on board for it and he recognizes how far it's gone from the original and also appreciates where it's gone, which is nice to keep the creator on board as it takes on a new life."
Bonaventura went on to give some spoilers about the movie as well, revealing a few action sequences involving a stuffed pig and the intro to the film. I won't reveal them here but if you want to hear about them, click the source link.
