Bruce Willis Adds Hyphen, Now Actor-Director

DateWednesday, September 17, 2008 at 10:01AM
Bruce Willis has been a movie star for 20 years or so and in that time, he's never stepped behind the camera. That's about to change with Three Stories about Joan.

According to the Shreveport Times (via Cinema Blend), Willis will direct Three Stories and co-star with Owen Wilson and Kieran Culkin. It's a psychological thriller written by Sam Appelbaum and Chris Alexander, and it will be shot in Louisiana, where every fourth movie is being made these days, or so it seems.

Here's the official thumbnail sketch of the movie, from AFM:

"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 woman's struggle to retain her faith in a love borne out of need, destroyed by a madness, and restored by a ghost."

Willis has been down the psych-thrilla road, before, and Wilson technically has, too, with the awful The Haunting remake, but not so much since he's been able to choose roles. The linchpin, in my mind, is Kieran Culkin. If he's on his game, a la Igby Goes Down, take cover. That guy can be tremendous.

The movie is scheduled for a five week production in Shreveport, home of the Centenary Fightin' Centenarians, beginning on October 2nd.

OUTSTANDING!!
I'm happy Bruce is going behind the lens, shooting in NOLA and picked Owen & Kieran for the cast.
Let's hope he talks some sense into Owen Wilson to stay far, far away from that Hudson girl........
WIllis Rocks!!
