A very interesting read:

And, the trailer is not bad either!
Here is a quote from one of the producers (from the Red forum):
"... We have a PC tower with dual quad core intel processors and 32 gig of RAM and an NVidia Quadro 4800 CUDA to take advantage of the Mercury Playback Engine. It's a 64bit Windows 7 machine. We took the RED files (shot with 4 16gig cards) straight from the camera to the timeline. We had 3 terabytes of footage after 27 days of shooting. Then we did some minor adjustments to the source settings and then set about editing. All the special effects were done in After Effects and dynamically linked to the PP timeline, so we never had to leave PP really. If we needed to output a file, we used Media Encoder and if we need to burn a Blu-ray, we dynamically linked to Encore. Same with sound editing. The cleaning tools in Soundbooth were fantastic. You can lasso bad sound, press the heal button and voila! it's gone. We use a few add-ins like Action Essentials for blood, explosions, gun flashes, etc. and Neat Video to clean up some low-light noise. Otherwise, we never left CS5. It's incredibly stable - never crashes and we have a 107 minute feature film. The best thing was that we didn't need to work with low resolution proxies, we accessed the native RAW files, so we always knew exactly what we were going to get. There is a new "yellow" line in CS5. I call it the yellow brick road. It means that you can probably playback the sequence without rendering. What a joy to try out different "looks", sometimes even split on the same frame and because we were outputting to an LDC 42" flat screen that we calibrated, we could see all the beautiful detail without any rendering required. More than happy to answer any other questions about our experience."
Pretty cool.
