Bruce Willis and
Sigourney Weaver have joined the cast of
Mabrouk El Mechri's upcoming project titled
The Cold Light of Day.
The movie is being described as kidnapping thriller, and already stars “The Tudors”
Henry Cavill as “a young American whose family is kidnapped while on a vacation to Spain.
He's left with only hours to find them, uncover a government conspiracy and the connection between their disappearance and his father's secrets.”
Bruce Willis will play Cavill's father while Weaver will be playing against type as someone involved with the kidnapping plot, or, if you prefer – the villain.
Filming is expected to begin this September, and
Scott Wiper (from “The Condemned”) and
John Petro wrote the original script which
Richard Price (from “Freedomland”) is finessing.
Pretty interesting cast, indeed, and pretty busy actors as well.
Let us remind you that Willis is currently attached to the video game adaptation
Kane & Lynch, the indie crime drama
Catch. 44, Antoine Fuqua's prison escape drama
The Tomb, and, like that's not enough to Rian Johnson's sci-fi flick
Looper.
On the other hand, Weaver has
Abduction and
Red Lights bookmarked.
For all fans, little reminder, Bruce Willis will next be seen in
The Expendables and as the lead in the action movie
Red.
Sigourney Weaver will next be seen in the sci-fi comedy Paul with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as well as the Kristen Bell romantic comedy
You Again.
