Bruce Willis is about to direct his first movie, and it doesn’t sound like it’ll have anything to do with him fighting terrorists. Actually, from the title it sounds like something that might star Debra Winger. According to the Shreveport Times, he’s helming a movie called Three Stories About Joan, which he’ll also star in along with Owen Wilson and Kieran Culkin. It’s a psychological thriller, which like so many recent films, will shoot in Louisiana, aka Bayouwood. And that’s really all we know about the project. No word on what it’s about or what part any of the actors involved will play in it. Louisiana is inherently creepy though, and it is a psychological thriller, so maybe that means ghosts… or at least an old, possibly haunted house. [Source]

During a meeting of the airport authority Tuesday night, Willis reconfirmed his interest in donating 2,000 acres of his own land in Camas County for the project. Willis considers it the best location for a new airport, but others want to keep it in Blaine County along Highway 75. [Source]
