The nighttime filming, involving 'loud simulated gunfire', will also include an exterior scene February 22, involving emrgency vehicles approaching the garage southbound on Church Street from Front Street.
Red is an adaptation of DC Comics graphic novel of the same name by author Warren Ellis.
Cast also includes Mary-Louise Parker, Academy Award-winners Helen Mirren and Morgan Freeman, Karl Urban, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss, Ernest Borgnine, Julian McMahon, James Remar and Rebecca Pidgeon.
"...Red is the story of 'Frank Moses' (Willis), a former black-ops CIA agent, who is now living a quiet life. That is, until the day a hi-tech assassin shows up intent on killing him. With his identity compromised and the life of the woman he cares for, Sarah (Parker), endangered, Frank reassembles his old team (Freeman, Malkovich and Mirren) in a last ditch effort to survive..."
Directed by Robert "The Time Traveler's Wife" Schwentke, from a screenplay by Jon and Erich "Whiteout" Hoeber, Red is produced by di Bonaventura Pictures' Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian ("Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"). Executive producers are Jake "Hollywoodland" Myers and Gregory "Jonah Hex" Noveck. Di Bonaventura Pictures' production exec David Ready is co-producer.
Red reunites Schwentke with DP Florian Ballhaus (Marley & Me) and Oscar-winning film editor Thom Noble (Thelma & Louise), shooting in and around the metro Toronto area for nine weeks before moving to New Orleans, late March for the final two weeks of principal photography.
The film is scheduled for worldwide release, October 22, 2010....
