Bruce Willis To Direct A Movie (He'll Star In It, Too)!! Sounds Like Has All Kindsa Funky Stuff In It...

Published at:  Sep 17, 2008 12:32:05 AM CDT


Merrick here...


The Mighty Bruce is set to direct for the first time per THIS STORY in the Shreveport Times.

While little was revealed about the film via the article linked above, the guys over at CHUD found the following synopsis at AFM Films:
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.


The project will star Willis, Owen Wilson, and and a Culkin (Kieran I think it is). If one of them is playing Joan, this is gonna rock.

    But, can he come back for his Q & A?

    by the dum guy

    Really, can he come back and answer all those burning questions (he never said who'd win in their prime, Arnold or Stallone).Oh, well, I guess he can use that (if he does do it) for another DVD/Blu-Ray extra on the disc.

    what the hell is this movie about? fuck the guy who wrote it. and what is up with the ghosts? is bruce willis making a comeback as a ghost? and why does he want to nail his daughter? or is this movie featuring alternate universes where people have many roles that tamper with their fuckometers, if that makes any sense.

    Man, have you seen 'The Darjeeling Limited'? It's very good, albeit sometimes pretentious because of the strange Jason Schwartzman short at the beginning. Owen Wilson is fantastic, and I truthfully say, I never thought those words would flow from my fingertips. Check it out, man.

    No more Q+A for him. He dumped us, remember?

    by arcadiands

    If AICN does another Q+A for Bruce Willis, then they're fully exposed whores. He used AICN as his starter wife, and once he had enough money made on his movie, he abruptly canceled all contact and participation with AICN. He's a phony and AICN should tell him, 'get lost baldy' and let his movie sink like the concrete turd that it is.

    You guys do realize that...

    by darth macchio

    ...LFoDH was actually a sequel to a mutant juice combination of '16 blocks' and 'Hostage' only without corrupt cops and without Walter's real daughter. I like Wiseman's Underworld series even if most here don't but LFoDH is not remotely a 'John f'kin McLane' movie! We all know the reasons it sucked...(although Maggie Q is an added super bonus with tons of potnetial...but no, she's a 'dead asian hooker bitch' in LFoDH. Assholes. And what the fuck does 'Live Free' have to do with anything other than giving a distant middle finger to Superman Lives? Don't ask me how I came to that conclusion...I ate like 40 pieces of cinnamon toast and was practically possessed at the time)WalterB as director? Sounds bad but I'd have to see it to know it...

    Yeah, Walter B. fucked us over.

    by gqtaste

    He talked the talk after Sly told him the scope but just gave us a little taste, if anything at all. Basically came on here one night and fought w/ a bunch of folks over who he was and how 'great' Die Hard 4 was gonna be. And this nepotism for his kid is atrocious. Johnny Voight never went to the lengths that Bruno has gone to get his kid into the film business. And look how Angie repaid him. If her daddy wasn't John V. she'd be a waitress or a high class pro in L.A. And she won't even speak to him for the last several years. Bytheway, Jolie is her middle name. She took the Nic Cage route and didn't want the 'baggage' that went from coming from a famous family. Of course everybody in Hollywood knew who they both were. I can see it now, the stars of the future. Zoe Kravitz, Will Smiths kid, and Rumer Willis just to name a few.

    by charlie_allnut

    Yet another action star who has lost his rudder, and has been wandering aimlessly making bad movies for about 10 years. Bruce needs to start doing similar movies to Bogart in his later years...I could see him as the grizzled noir detective, or in movies like High Sierra or The African Queen.
