The Sunday Times of London follows up on Bruce Willis' plans to make a film about the heroes of Deuce Four, based on the reporting of embedded journalist/blogger extraordinaire Michael Yon:
ANGERED by negative portrayals of the conflict in Iraq, Bruce Willis, the Hollywood star, is to make a pro-war film in which American soldiers will be depicted as brave fighters for freedom and democracy.
It will be based on the exploits of the heavily decorated members of Deuce Four, the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry, which has spent the past year battling insurgents in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul.
Willis attended Deuce Four’s homecoming ball this month in Seattle, Washington, where the soldiers are on leave, along with Stephen Eads, the producer of Armageddon and The Sixth Sense.
The 50-year-old actor said that he was in talks about a film of “these guys who do what they are asked to for very little money to defend and fight for what they consider to be freedom”.
Unlike many Hollywood stars Willis supports the war and recently offered a $1m (about £583,000) bounty for the capture of any of Al-Qaeda’s most wanted leaders such as Osama Bin Laden, Ayman Al-Zawahiri or Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, its commander in Iraq. Willis visited the war zone with his rock and blues band, the Accelerators, in 2003.

Yup, cant wait, haven't been in movies in years...
That's too bad, I do like him, Glover has definitely gone to the dark side and I'd say he's close to giving Belafonte a run for him money.
Wow- I am definitely going to see this movie
We do have rules here, ya know!
He does not fit in. To be intellectual, to be anti-establishment, rebellious, and a “free out of the box” thinker you need to say what everyone else in Hollywood says, Bruce.
Bruce, I hope you realize, Fahrenheit 9-11 was a top notch award-winning documentary, you won’t get $hit! Not for making a movie like this.

OMG - this is SO AWESOME!!!

No problem...one of those "senior moments," perhaps...I've been getting them since I was a senior in high school.
I have been so happy to read articles about this movie. Mr. Peach has already promised that we will go to the actual movie theater (something we don't do very often) to see it and we will go with friends and make a night of it.
I hope that freepers support this movie. Big Time, as Cheney would say.
This is one I will be sure to see. Thanks, STARWISE.
Although mostly known for action movies such as the "Die Hard" series and others, Bruce Willis has given us a lot of laughs in comedies, such as this image from "Blind Date" which happened to be his first movie.
Those of you too young to be a faithful watcher of the yuppie's favorite "Moonlighting" TV series missed a real treat.
It is nice to hear there is one more Hollyweird actor that has his head screwed on right. Just one more reason to buy tickets to see any Bruce Willis movie and one more reason to avoid any movies with Alec Baldwin, George Clooney, Tim Robbins and the rest of those Marxist Hollyweird extremists.
I mixed it up -- it was Samuel L. Jackson instead.
My memory is getting so bad that my 6 year old granddaughter actually praised me the other day for remembering something...
I laughed and asked her if I was THAT bad...and she said that I wasn't as bad as her Nanny...which would be fine, except her Nanny is 25 years OLDER than me...LOL
Oh, never fear, I do.
I've always had a soft spot for Willis. Good for him!
