Bruce Willis joins LOOPER

Bruce Willis has signed on to star alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt (my absolute favourite actor) in Rian Johnson’s sci-fi flick Looper.

Via Deadline:

Bruce Willis is joining the cast ofLooper, a science fiction time travel tale that reunites the Brick team of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and writer/director Rian Johnson. The Terminator-esque action film has a clever premise. Loopers are hit men whose victims are sent back in time from the future to be executed. The Loopers bump them off in the present, so there is no trace of a crime in the future. I’m told that Willis and Gordon-Levitt will play the same character, in those different time frames. That ploy is also being used in Men in Black 3, with Josh Brolin playing the younger version of Tommy Lee Jones’s Agent Kay. CAA is repping North American rights, and FilmNation Entertainment is repping it. Insiders said it is not being shopped at this fest. But buyers are all over it.

I remember hearing the title Looper a while back as something Rian Johnson was working on and being a huge fan of Brick (currently #18 on my Flickchart) I was curious as to what it was about. The premise sounds pretty damn cool and JGL reteaming with Johnson has me super excited about the project. After Brick and The Brothers Bloom I’m hoping that Johnson makes it 3 for 3.

Another new poster for SURROGATES

Here’s another foreign poster for Surrogates, this time it’s the Taiwanese version. The artwork’s a little different from the two previous versions but it’s still not that impressive. Then again, who’s swayed to watch a film by a poster?

New poster for SURROGATES

Here’s a new poster, this time Russian, for Bruce Willis’ upcoming sci-fi action flick Surrogates.

The trailer for this was very impressive so I hope it lives up to it when it’s released in about six weeks time. I’m really looking forward to this one but I’m a little concerned because it’s directed by Jonathan Mostow who did shit like U-571 and Terminator 3.

Check out the new poster for Bruce Willis’ upcoming sci-fi/action/thriller flick Surrogates.

The film tells the story of a future where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, and a cop (Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates.

It’s directed by Jonathan Mostow which doesn’t fill me with confidence, but the trailer was fantastic so I’ll certainly give it a shot. It’s set to open on 25th September.

Two more faces have been added to Kevin Smith’s upcoming buddy action comedy A Couple of Dicks in the form of Seann William Scott and Adam Brody.

The film tells the story of a maverick cop (Bruce Willis) and his partner (Tracy Morgan) who, while tracking a valuable stolen baseball card, tangle with a memorabilia-obsessed gangster and rescue a Mexican beauty who holds the key to millions in laundered drug money.

The film is tentatively set to open on 26th February 2010.

1st trailer for SURROGATES

Here’s the first trailer for the upcoming Bruce Willis sci-fi action flick Surrogates. The film is set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop (Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates.

I love Bruce Willis action flicks. The guy just doesn’t seem to slow down, despite now being 54 years old. Count me in to see this when it’s released on 25th September.
