Bruce Willis Gossip

Marking movie anniversaries has become A Thing, and I’m not sure entirely what the point is except to make people feel old. Most movies aren’t actually worth lionizing in that way, but sometimes there is a movie milestone worth noticing (for example: it’s been 20 years since Beni had all the horses on the wrong side of the river). Full Story

A direct sequel to Split and a shared-universe continuation of Unbreakable, Glass is the culmination of M. Night Shyamalan’s home-grown superhero universe within the Eastrail 177 trilogy. It unites strong-man David Dunn (Bruce Willis), evil mastermind Elijah Price/Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson), and The Beast and his Horde of alter egos (James McAvoy). Full Story

M. Night Shyamalan’s best movie is Unbreakable, which is why, after a lukewarm reception following The Sixth Sense in 2000, it has developed a considerable cult following. It came along just before comic book movies took over Hollywood, and it is so much like a comic book—the whole movie is framed to look like comic cells—that it put people off, initially. Full Story

Death Wish began life as a pulpy crime novel, then came a film adaptation in 1974 starring Charles Bronson. That movie borrows from the exploitation sub-genres that were popular in the 1960s and 1970s, but where exploitation cinema largely arose from marginalized communities creating their own narratives outside a system that did not welcome them, Death Wish just uses unabashed, unexamined violence to let a white guy rampage Full Story

Euphemisms are part of the gossip game. They are the colorful sprinkles tossed over the delicious sundae of smut, and by now we should all know a few key words, like “exhaustion”. We all know what “exhaustion” means. And now it looks like we need to add “scheduling” to our lexicon, because Bruce Willis exited Woody Allen’s new movie, just days after he was seen filming, and the official version of this story blames his sudden departure on Willis’s schedule. Full Story

Girl Sh-t Is The Best Sh-t. And Boy Sh-t Is The Best Sh-t… No matter the age. Even if it’s middle age. Or senior citizens. Sylvester Stallone is 67. Can we call him a senior citizen? Sly and Bruce Willis worked together on the two Expendables. I’ve not seen either one but I will assume that there are guns and explosions and a lot of one liners like, “Look at my dick attached to my AK47”. Full Story

I’ve never interviewed Bruce Willis one on one. I’ve stuck my microphone into a scrum of microphones at a premiere (that I can’t remember now) but I’ve never had to speak to him directly and hope that he speaks back to me directly. I hope I never have to because it seems terrifying. Full Story

Did you see RED? I liked RED! Am I dumb? Was I blinded by the Mary Louise Parker? I am partial to Mary Louise Parker. They're making a sequel now and she's in it, though not pictured. Rather, here's Bruce Willis with Catherine Zeta-Jones on the set of RED 2 today. That's a harsh fringe. Full Story

(Lainey: I’m still catching up after flying overnight to Cannes. Trying to rush out a few new articles but let’s start first with Sarah’s Cannes preview since they’re all starting to arrive. I screen Moonrise Kingdom tonight. Attached - the cast at the photo call today.) The Cannes Film Festival is always glamorous and Hollywood is always well represented, but this year seems particularly heavy on the star power, headed, of course, by the Brange. Full Story
