In addition to lining up potential directors Joe Carnahan, David Yates and James McTeigue, Fox is said be setting course for a full-on total CGI vision of the Fantastic Four for their franchise reboot, and Bruce Willis is their pick to voice Ben Grimm. They’ll have to move quickly to get him signed and put the movie into production, though, because it’s reportedly tagged for a 2012 release.

The new details and other casting choices leaked through sources speaking to Comic Book Movie. If they’re all legit, Stephen Moyer is up for the role of Doctor Doom, with Alice Eve pegged for Sue Storm, Kevin Pennington eyed for Johnny Storm and Adrien Brody and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in contention for Reed Richards.

Filming could start as soon as May 2011 if things work out. If they do, we really will have come full circle from a Marvel book inspiring a CGI Pixar movie that spun off a Boom! Studios comic book series and preceded a 100-percent CGI feature film based on the original property. [Source]

Actor Bruce Willis is currently in talks to star in the upcoming film Violet and Daisy, the directorial debut of Precious screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher, according to The Los Angeles Times.

Carey Mulligan and Saoirse Ronan are currently attached to star in the film and the site is also reporting that Machete star Danny Trejo is in talks to join the project.

Not much is known about the plot of the film, but the site said that it will be a mix of Thelma & Louise, Superbad and Pulp Fiction. Fletcher will direct the film from his own script. It was said that the film would start shooting sometime this fall.

We’ll be sure to keep you posted with any further news regarding Violet and Daisy as soon as we have more information.

‘Iron Man 2′ star Gwyneth Paltrow will also reportedly star in ‘Last Airbender’ director’s upcoming film.

Director M. Night Shyamalan is preparing to release his first big-budget, effects-driven blockbuster, “The Last Airbender,” based on the Nickelodeon cartoon “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” on July 1. And his next original film is a project for which the stars now seem to be aligning.

The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog reveals that those stars include Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow and Bruce Willis, who are all “loosely attached” to headline the film. No plot details have been revealed, as is usual with Shyamalan, but the filmmaker has assistants ferrying his script between studio execs, who are observed by those same assistants and are expected to surrender the script immediately after finishing.  Read the rest of this entry »

So this is going to be awesome: Summit Entertainment is reportedly courting perennial bald person Bruce Willis to star as Ray Breslin in the prison escape thriller The Tomb, with Training Day director Antoine Fuqua the likely candidate to direct. Willis will play a world-renowned prison security expert who is framed and incarcerated in the unescapable stronghold he designed himself. It will take all of his knowledge of escape techniques and survival skills to break out of his own prison and hunt down the man who put him there.

OK, so that probably sounds oddly familiar to anyone who saw the first season of Fox’s Prison Break, where Michael Scofield is a structural engineer who, in hopes of helping his brother break out of prison, goes to work for the designers of the prison in order to get its blueprint tattooed on his body. Or maybe I’m thinking of the Robert Schwentke thriller Flightplan, in which Jodie Foster’s character must track down her kidnapped daughter while on board the plane she herself designed.  Read the rest of this entry »

Die Hard’s action man Bruce Willis is set to become a time traveling hitman in Rian Johnson’s Sci-Fi thriller ‘Looper’.

The plot has largely been top secret, but the film followers “Loopers”, hit men from the future who bring their victims back in time to be executed. So when they off them, there’s no evidence that any crime has been committed. Genius!

According to sources close to the project Bruce Willis will play an older version of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, though it’s not known whether they’ll be playing a victim or one of the killers or even a cop investigating the mysterious assassins from the future.

There are no details on when the film will start shooting yet, but Bruce last dealt with time travel in ‘Twelve Monkeys’, so this is right up his street. [Source]

Confession time, folks: There are a few of us around Splash Page HQ who are big fans of M. Night Shyamalan’s dark superhero tale “Unbreakable” — so we can’t help bringing up the possibility of a sequel every time we talk to the filmmaker or one of the film’s cast. Back in June 2009, Shyamalan told us that he still had plans for a sequel, so when we caught up with actor Bruce Willis during this weekend’s “Cop Out” junket, we had to get his take on whether we’ll ever see “Unbreakable 2.”

“I talked to [Shyamalan] over the holidays, and he is still thinking about doing the fight movie between me and Sam that we were going to do,” Willis told MTV News.

“We chose to do the origin,” he explained, indicating that there was discussion early on about whether Willis’ character and the villain played by Samuel L. Jackson should square off in the first movie or a sequel.

“As long as Sam can make it, I’m up for it,” said Willis. [Source]
