Posted by admin with No Comments

Summit Entertainment released the first “RED” movie, starring Bruce Willis, Karl Urban, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren, back in 2010. It went on to gross $200 million worldwide on a budget of $58 million.

Soon after, the studio announced that it’s working on a sequel, which is now set to hit theaters on July 19th. But even though “RED 2″ has yet to be released, Summit just announced that it has started work on “RED 3.”

While deals with the actors have yet to be made, screenwriters Jon and Erich Hoeber (RED, RED 2) have just been hired to begin writing the third installment. Production could start as early as January of 2014. [Source]

Bruce Willis Set For Action Thriller Expiration

Posted by admin with No Comments

As a poisoned hit man seeking a cure…

Given that Bruce Willis is best known for Die Hard, surely a film he stars in called Expiration can never end, because he dies hard. Geddit? Hello? Anyway, he has indeed signed on for the lead in hit man thriller Expiration.

No, it’s not the complicated struggle of a man battling his way to the shops to find a pint of milk still not past its best before date. Apparently the script, written by Broken City’s Brian Tucker, finds a hit man who discovers that he’s been poisoned and rushes to find a cure. That premise has shades of Crank, but we’re guessing it will be less demented than that.

According to Variety, the script is in the works now and has a planned start date of next March. What it doesn’t have yet is anyone to direct and tell Bruce who to shoot, but backers Emmett/Furla Films are ironing out that particular wrinkle even now.

Willis, who was last seen in A Good Day To Die Hard, will next grace our screens in Red 2 (August 2). He’s also been at work on Sin City 2 for Robert Rodriguez, which is due sometime late this year. [Source]

Bruce Willis’ new ‘A Good Day to Die Hard’ scores with $25 million box office debut

Posted by admin with No Comments

The fifth installment in the ‘Die Hard’ series exploded with $25 million as ‘Identity Theft’ dropped to second place with $23.4 million.

The blood-soaked machismo of Bruce Willis powered the action thriller “A Good Day to Die Hard” to box office supremacy with a never-say-die weekend haul of $25 million.

A quarter-century after the original “Die Hard” catapulted Willis into superstardom, the franchise’s fifth flick made mincemeat of the critics who dissed it with mediocre reviews.

“He’s one of the few old-guard action stars who still has a solid career going,” said Paul Dergarabedian, a box-office tracker for Hollywood.com.

The road comedy “Identity Thief” also made out like a bandit — capturing the No. 2 slot by scamming its way to $23.4 million in ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada.

Trailing the laughfest was the romance “Safe Haven,” which pulled in $21.4 million.

Grabbing the No. 4 spot was “Escape from Planet Earth,” an animated flick about aliens, which raked in $16.1 million. And sleepwalking its way into the No. 5 post was rom-com zombie thriller “Warm Bodies,” which scored $9 million. [Source]

While in Paris to promote the upcoming release of A Good Day to Die Hard, star Bruce Willis was presented with the highest culture award in France, the Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters, in an evening ceremony here.

Culture Minister Aurelie Filippetti said the medal was to honor his contribution to film over the past thirty years.

“It is an honor, a real honor, to be here,” said Willis. “To get this very high honor for the commanders, I couldn’t be more pleased.”

Filippetti praised his famous Die Hard character as a “reluctant hero,” and cited his diverse body of work including Moonrise Kingdom, Pulp Fiction and Unbreakable. “He knows to sometimes leave his ‘tough guy’ costume and return to work with amazing filmmakers,” she said about his work with directors Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino and M.
