I heard about this info and I am excited about it, it’s just that… yesterday there wasn’t much to share with you other than the fact that my action hero Bruce Willis will be making his directorial debut, that was it. But now there’s more.
yes, you heard it right, John McLane won’t be shooting bad guys for now, he’ll be behind the camera… shooting too, the different kind.
According to Shrevenport Times, Bruce Willis is set to star in and direct the psychological thriller THREE STORIES ABOUT JOAN, was written by Sam Applebaum and Chris Alexander, and picked up by Willis’s company only late this summer. Also joining the cast are Owen Wilson and Kieran Culkin.. McCaulay’s younger bro.
Yesterday, nobody knew what the storyline was, but the great CHUD found out from Film Catalogue that it is a $10-25m budget production and producers Moshe Diamant, David Willis, Bruce Willis and Mark Damon work through Foresight Unlimited.
Plus, they got the plot too, a hint of it at least…
At age seventeen, JOAN loses her virginity.
At age 21, she loses her virtue.
At age 25, she loses her vices.
Or did she lose nothing …. but her mind?
THREE STORIES ABOUT JOAN interweaves the three phases of a young womans struggle to retain her faith in a love borne out of need, destroyed by a madness, and restored by a ghost. Bruce Willis character is the center of Joans life. He is egocentric, paranoid, tender, and brutal and madly in love with the Joan he wants her to be.
He is also her father. THREE STORIES ABOUT JOAN is a tautly structured fable that weaves in the surreal with the real, the supernatural with the unnatural, and the triumph of young love in all its exhaltation, and its desperation. And it is brilliant in its deception, as nothing ever is what it appears to be.
Sounds heavy.
Ben Affleck made his directorial debut too with a heavy thriller GONE BABY GONE, you would think that someone like Bruce Willis would tackle action genre as his first directing gig… but maybe he wants that same sensation and respect as well.
I’m wondering why did it take so long for Bruce Willis to finally want to start directing.
That said, Yippie Kay Yaya, MothaF*cka!
I’m just saying that for the hell of it.
