American director Quentin Tarantino wants to cast his friend and retired actor Bruce Willis in his tenth film, hoping his family will be receptive to the idea.
The director can substitute artificial intelligence or scenes from previous films for Willis
Bruce Willis played an aging boxer in Tarantino’s 1994 film.
Tarantino announced in March 2023 that he was preparing a new movie, “The Movie Critic,” scheduled to begin shooting the following September, and that the director had cast Willis in a “fantastic” role, sources told the newspaper.Express“.
Retire and renew faith
And the action film hero’s family announced on Instagram on March 30, 2022, that he was retiring from acting due to “health issues”, specifically his inability to speak. The post was signed by Willis’ current wife Emma Heming Willis, his ex-wife actress Demi Moore, and his children Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn.
However, sources indicate that Tarantino’s desire to fight Willis’ disease was renewed when the “Die Hard” movie star appeared in a video clip released by his family after a family visit to Disneyland, so he decided to pitch the idea to them, and they might agree to a small but important role at the same time.
The ending is touching
Quentin hasn’t been in contact with Bruce’s family yet, but he’ll agree to whatever decision they make, and sources hint that he might insert a short clip from one of Bruce’s earlier films or use artificial intelligence.
And if the Willis family approves his participation in the film, it will be a wonderful conclusion to the work of a great director and a wonderful career of 129 films in the story of the late seventies of the last century in Los Angeles. According to the newspaper, a family spokesperson declined to comment on the possibility of her appearing briefly in Tarantino’s new film.
The story of the new film
After the director cast Willis as an aging boxer for 1994’s Pulp Fiction, Quentin and Bruce became close friends, which helped Willis re-establish himself as a big star after a period of time.
Willis first rose to fame in television comedies in the eighties, quickly establishing himself as an action movie star and competing with stage heroes Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
