Is it possible Bruce Willis has found the Fountain of Youth or something? At 56 year old(!!!), he doesn't seem to be slowing down one bit, and actually appears to be doing more intense roles than ever before. This next year alone has him in The Expendables 2, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, A Good Day to Die Hard, and a sequel to Red. Not to mention whatever straight-to-DVD nonsense he fits in the cracks of his schedule. Dude is on a tear, and that's not even counting is role in Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. Can I have some of whatever he's having?
After being talked up for the role by uber-producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, Columbia Pictures has confirmed that Willis will star in Five Against A Bullet. The action film written by Alex Litvak(Predators) follows a Mexican politician who hires the world's five best bodyguards to protect him through a contentious election. This all in the wake of his father's murder at the hands of a vicious drug cartel.
No word on when filming will begin, but it'll have to work around the Die Hard and Red 2 schedules. If anybody can find a way to make it all work, it's Willis. Di Bonaventura likens the script to that of The Magnificent Seven and The Wild Bunch. Bold words. I'm curious to see how the rest of the cast shapes up.
