"A series of character posters for RED 2 have been unveiled. The sequel to 2010&amp;#039;s action comedy - based on the comic miniseries RED by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner - sees Bruce Willis, Dame Helen Mirren and John Malkovich reprise their roles as retired CIA agents.   In the movie, Willis&amp;#039;s character Frank Moses is once again pulled out of retirement to prevent a missing portable nuclear device from falling into the wrong hands. Joining Malkovich and Mirren as supporting agents are Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Byung-hun Lee.   In the tongue-in-cheek promo shots, a number of characters are depicted surrounded by heavy duty weapons while nonchalantly carrying out mundane tasks, hinting at their more high-octane pasts. Several locations are also shown in the images, with Zeta-Jones lounging in front of a Moscow skyline and Mirren stood amongst enemy bodies with the Eiffel Tower visible behind her.   Directed by Dean Parisot, the film&amp;#039;s tone has been described as &amp;quot;playing it very straight while outrageous, fun s**t is going on&amp;quot; by producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Originally due to be released in both the US and UK on August 2, RED 2&amp;#039;s opening date was recently brought forward to July 19.
