Bruce Willis is in talks to star in upcoming prison break drama The Tomb. Yes, indeed, this project definitely sounds like a big-screen adaptation on TV’s Prison Break, and if negotiations work out for Willis, he will reteam with his Tears of the Sun director Antoine Fuqua. Surprise?
No way, he’s the right actor for this kind of role! Check out the rest of this report if you don’t believe it….
So, Willis will play “…Ray Breslin, the world’s foremost authority on structural security. After analyzing every high security prison and learning a vast array of survival skills so he can design escape-proof prisons, his skills are put to the test.
He’s framed and incarcerated in a master prison he designed himself. He needs to escape and find the person who put him behind bars.”
Summit acquired rights to Miles Chapman’s spec script in 2008, the screenplay has been rewritten by Jason Keller, and Robbie Brenner and Mark Canton are in charge for producing the whole project.
The Tomb is still in the early stages, but if Willis and Fuqua both sign on, Summit is looking to get it on the fast track to the screen.
Willis next appears in Sylvester Stallone’s action The Expendables and Red. He’ll also play the older version of Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Rian Johnson’s Looper and he’s attached to star opposite Jamie Foxx in the big-screen adaptation of the popular videogame Kane and Lynch as well.
