Bruce Willis takes aim in 'Red 2'

It's hard enough to be able to afford retirement for anyone in this day and age.

For Bruce Willis’ retired assassin Frank Moses in “Red 2” it seems down right impossible judging from the first teaser trailer for the sequel to the surprise 2010 hit.

The 1 minute, 50-second trailer opens up in a Costco like megastore of all places, with a relucatant Moses’s shopping being interrupted by John Malkovich’s loopy hitman, Marvin.

“"I'm retired. I'm happy, we're happy,” Moses pleads.

“You haven't killed anyone in months,” retorts Marvin.

“That's a positive thing,” says Moses.

Of course, that killing slump doesn’t look to last long. Cue the bullets, explosions and car chases after a phone call from fellow AARP pinup Helen Mirren’s mysterious Victoria warning our hero that she’s been offered a contract by MI:6 to snuff him out.

“It's important to enjoy life while you still can,” she says, disposing of a dead body in a bathtub with bleach as she speaks on the phone.

In addition to returnees Willis, Malkovich, Mirren and Mary Louise-Parker, “Red 2” has reloaded with some new faces. Mirren’s “Hitchcock” co-star, Anthony Hopkins shows up in the trailer with a “Silence of the Lambs”-inspired cameo and Korean action star Byung-hun Lee leaves his footprint on Willis’ chest.

Anthony Hopkins makes an impression in 'Red 2'

But the trailer is stolen by Catherine Zeta-Jones’ femme fatale, who walks up to Moses and plants a long kiss in front of his current girlfriend.

“How are things,” asks Zeta Jones’ character after the awkward kiss.

“Yeah, Frank how are things,” retorts Parker’s Sarah.

“Red 2” â€" very loosely based on the graphic novel by Warren Ellis and directed by “Galaxy Quest’s” Dean Parisot â€" hits theaters on August 2.
