Following the Red and Expendables movies, Bruce Willis seems as comfortable these days as a CIA operative as he used to be as a cop. Continuing that spy-based trend (although likely with tongue less firmly in cheek) he's just signed up for Extraction, which Steven C. Miller will direct.
Willis's character is retired from the Secret Service at the point we meet him, and on despondent form since the murder of his wife. His son is also an operative working on a secret weapon called (ahem) The Condor, and when Papa Bruce is kidnapped by terrorists, Junior mounts his own off-the-books rescue operation. Conspiracies are uncovered.
Before you get too excited that this might be an old-school Willis actioner to atone for A Good Day To Die Hard, we'd suggest that set-up is sounding very much like recent Willis output, meaning he'll only be around for part of the shoot. The role of a dad who disappears leaving his son to do most of the heavy lifting has strong echoes of The Cold LIght Of Day, or any of those straight-to-DVD movies he's been doing with 50 Cent recently.
Still, maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised. And if not, there's always Willis's developing Elmore Leonard adaptation Bandits to look forward to (not to be confused with the Bandits he made 14 years ago with Barry Levinson).
Extraction starts filming on February 7 in Alabama, and will wangling distribution deals at the European Film Market in Berlin later the same month.
