Collider is reporting that Summit Entertainment has hired Jon and Erich Hoeber to write the screenplay for a sequel to last year’s action-comedy Red. The duo wrote the original which went on to gross a respectable $164.7M worldwide ($90.1M domestic / $74.6M foreign).
Outside the ‘Twilight’ franchise, Red is the young studio’s highest-grossing movie in domestic box office (its worldwide figure falls slightly behind “Knowing” which grossed $80.0M domestically but $183.6M worldwide).
