Bruce Willis is about to shoot "A Couple of Dicks," but weighing three different action flicks as his follow up including "Red," "Inventory" and "Scarpa." HitFix Staff <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Amazingly, 21 years after the first "Die Hard," Hollywood still considers Bruce Willis a top draw as an action star.&nbsp; Like Harrison Ford and Sylvester Stallone, moviegoers don't seem inclined to watch their favorite action icons slow down and Willis is definitely in that exclusive circle.<br /><br />It's not surprising then, that according to <a href="http://www.riskybusinessblog.com/2009/04/bruce-willis-is-living-hard.html" target="_self">The Hollywood Reporter,</a> the actor is circling three different pictures at the moment that will somehow require him to carry a gun: the thriller "Inventory," the CIA drama "Red" and the mafia flick "Scarpa."<br /><br />Summit Entertainment, fresh of their successes with "Twilight" and "Knowing," have made an offer for Willis to star in <strong>"Red,"</strong> but the trade notes that both sides say an agreement may not come to pass.&nbsp; Based on the Wildstorm/DC Comic, the movie would find Willis playing a retired black-ops agent who is forced back into action when a high-tech killer threatens him and his girlfriend.&nbsp; The project is out to directors and Willis' "16 Blocks" collaborator Richard Donner is said to be on the shortlist. <br /><br />Morgan Creek is trying to get Willis to play the lead role in <strong>"Carpa," </strong>an Antoine Fuqua biopic about Greg Scarpa, an FBI informant who worked under cover in New York's Columbo family.<br /><br />And the last picture that Willis is considering is <strong>"Inventory,"</strong> which would find the actor in the very familiar role of a detective on the trail of a murderer.&nbsp; Willis is said to be in serious negotiations for that particular project.<br /><br />A fourth film, the Warner Bros. buddy comedy <strong>"A Couple of Dicks"</strong> looks like it will be Willis next picture and reunite him with his "Live Free or Die Hard" co-star Kevin Smith, who will put on his more familiar director's cap for this one.<br /><br />Needless to say, the massive success of 2007's "Live Free" put the shine back on his particular star and it hasn't worn off yet.&nbsp; Audiences will find Willis on the big screen this September when the Sci-Fi thriller <a href="../../events/2009-2-8-surrogates" target="_self">"Surrogates"</a> hits theaters.</p> movies 2009-04-30T09:06:49Z 488 54-year-old actor unclear on what's next after 'A Couple of Dicks' 2038-01-01T00:00:00Z false 829 false false false false false false false false false false 2009-4-30-bruce-willis-considering-three-new-projects 2009-04-30T05:01:00Z Bruce Willis considering three new projects published Eastern Time (US & Canada) http://tinyurl.com/m2blp2 Bruce Willis considering three new projects 2009-09-01T03:44:35Z false 5 58
