Magnolia Pictures Acquires 'Red' Adaptation

Today we were informed that Magnolia Pictures has officially acquired Red (review) for release through their Magnet Releasing label. In addition, we've been provided with a look at the international sales sheet for the film, which is adapted from a Jack Ketchum novel. Look for the film in theaters this summer, along with VOD play dates. Directed by Trygve Allister Diesen and Lucky McKee, the film follows a couple of kids who kill a dog named 'Red', the trusty hound of an old gent. The owner finds out who they are, and tries to bring them to justice by informing the authorities. However, this amounts to nothing, so he decides to dish out his own brand of retribution.

I can't wait to see this and I'm glad someone's finally going to release it (Video-On-Demand...does that mean it will be available on digital cable before DVD?). I like the poster, aside from "From The Screenwriter of The Grudge". Seriously, this is a Jack Ketchum's story, not some lame American remake. People who hated The Grudge might avoid this just because of its association with it. Don't sell the film short like that. Change the name to "Jack Ketchum's 'Red' ", or add "From the writer of 'The Girl Next Door' and 'The Lost' "

I agree. From the screenwriter of the Grudge?. We all know that the Grudge was a remake, so saying this was written by the same person who wrote a remake is no way to sell it. That's like watching a guy put new wallpaper up in his house over the old wallpaper and trying to call the guy an architect. The book was very compelling and painfully personal. Also Brian Cox is just awesome. This looks very good.
