Summit is putting together a seriously impressive ensemble cast for the film Red, which follows a veteran assassin who has to fend off younger competitors.

Julian McMahon, Ernest Borgnine, Richard Dreyfuss and Brian Cox are all now reportedly in negotiations to take on roles. Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John C. Reilly and Mary Louise Parker have already signed on.

Summit has drawn criticism for mishandling the release of any of film that doesn't have the word Twilight in the title. The Hurt Locker, Bandslam and Astro Boy have all posted underwhelming grosses this year. Of course, The Twilight Saga: New Moon will make up for any disappointments since it has a very real shot at opening with $100 million.
