It's a day for movie switcheroos it seems. And Red, the movie based on Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner's mini-series for Wildstorm, is trading up with one of its leads.

Okay that's a bit mean to John C Reilly. Actually, no it isn't. John Malkovich is a bigger name. Hell, he's just confirmed he's playing the Vulture in Spider-Man 4. Will make a bigger splash. And hell, he looks the part and should fit in well with the rest of the cast, who look like they could be making a remake of Cocoon…

Okay there are a couple of (relatively young uns as well…

Maybe they could play the Steve Guttenberg part? Filming in Toronto starts this week.
