Morgan Freeman Could Be Joining “Red”
Morgan Freeman has been one of my favorite actors out there ever since his role in “The Shawshank Redemption” (as a side note, that movie is in my top 10 films of all time list). He doesn’t always appear in the best films, but he always gives an amazing performance regardless of the material he’s working with. Last year alone he appeared in two of my favorite films of 2008, “Wanted” and “The Dark Knight”.
Reports are now coming out that Freeman is in talks to appear in the upcoming Bruce Willis film “Red“. “Red” is based on the graphic novel of the same name published by Wildstorm/DC that is described as: “C.I.A. operative, Paul Moses’s unique talent for killing took him around the world, from one hotspot to another, carrying out the deadly orders of his superiors. And when he retired, he wanted to put his bloody past behind him. But when a new administration takes over the White House, the powers that be decide that Moses knows too much, forcing him back into the game against the agency that trained him.”
It’s a project that sounds ripe for film development and Bruce Willis seems like the perfect guy to play that role. Willis and Freeman last worked on a film together back in 2006 on “Lucky Number Slevin“.
No official word yet on what role Freeman would be playing. Ironically enough Freeman’s character’s name in “The Shawshank Redemption” was also “Red”. Go figure.
Good news. I like Morgan Freeman. He pulls off roles like in Shashank, Feast of Love, Driving Miss Daisey, and Seven so amazing well. Looking forward to see how he casted for Red.
I wonder what kind of role Morgan Freeman will be taking. He seems to go for those caring, often fatherly figure roles (even when he plays the bad guys), and I don’t blame him, he does that role perfectly.
Hey man, i’d like to know what is your top 10 favorites movies!
Just for curious…
C-ya!
I second that.
one of my friends thinks morgan freeman was born an old black man. i love him and he is always solid in a movie. i agree with john shawshank is one of my favorite movies ever
morgan freeman is banging his 20 something year old step-granddaughter. its gross. and has ruined my enjoyment of him forever.
i cant watch a movie hes in now without being reminded how grossed out i am by him.
Good thing you’re largely ignorant of the mistakes or indiscretions committed by many actors in Hollywood…you’d scarcely be able to watch a movie at all.
Nice try but a guy in his 70s banging his 20 odd year old step grand daughter is way way beyond the pale. That isn’t a simple
indiscretion it’s fucking gross
And you don’t mistakenly fuck your grandkid
No argument there Alfie!
