A new trailer for Red (the DC/Wildstorm adaptation slated for release on the 15th October) debuted at Comic-Con. You can see it here.
It looks like a fun film. A lot has been changed from the comic, but this is one of the rare instances where I think the movie will be better than the comic. The comic is a 3-issue miniseries by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner with very little plot and lots of unimaginative violence. In the comic there's just one retired agent who's being targeted and the tone is very grim and downbeat. The movie has expanded the premise into a team of retired agents and made it an action-comedy.
