For those that remember, last year Bruce Willis announced that he was bored of action films. Following this, he signed onto the action thriller The Prince and now he has signed onto a project that Arnold Schwarzenegger passed on – this being indie thriller Captive.
Music video director Simon Brand will direct Willis in a role where he’ll play “an American real estate magnate living the high life in Brazil who is snatched from the street and imprisoned in a cell hidden in a Sao Paolo landfill site.”
Willis has disappointingly appeared in numerous straight to DVD thrillers in recent years, and hopefully Captive will be more intelligent than the grotesque A Good Day to Die Hard. Willis will next be seen in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, which arrives on August 22nd in North America and August 29th in the UK.
