Summit acquired rights to "Red," originally written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Cully Hamner, last year. The three-book series, published in 2003 and 2004, follows a former black-ops CIA agent who lives a quiet life in retirement until the day a high-tech assassin shows up intent on killing him.
"Red" is set to go into production in January in Toronto and Louisiana. Summit's set a domestic launch of Nov. 19, 2010.
Mirren will next be seen opposite Christopher Plummer in Michael Hoffman's "The Last Station," a German-Russian co-production about the tumultuous final year of novelist Leo Tolstoy's life.
