Bruce Willis and Mary Elizabeth Winstead starred in Live Free or Die Hard as father/daughter duo John McClane and Lucy (Gennaro) McClane, but since then they’ve both continued on successful career paths, and those journeys continue today, as it has been announced that Willis will star in Columbia Pictures’ action thriller Five Against a Bullet, while Winstead has been added to the upcoming comedy A.C.O.D.
Five Against a Bullet tells the story of a Mexican politician whose father is assassinated by a drug cartel. Fearing for his own life, the politician hires five of the most highly-trained and accomplished body guards from around the globe to see him through a turbulent election alive. The script is being written by Alex Litvak, whose short screenwriting resume is comprised of Predators and the most recent onscreen iteration of The Three Musketeers - neither of which are five star movies, exactly.
No word yet on a director, but with Willis in the lead (we’re guessing as the most experienced and badass of the hired bodyguards) there will automatically be a certain contingent of movie fans who show up on opening day. No other casting news yet – though the film has been fast-tracked by the studio. We should hear more names being attached soon, and they’ll be interesting to hear; this titular “Five” is going to have to be a pretty badass squad.
In the meantime, we’ll keep you updated on the status of Five Against a Bullet as more news comes to light.

A.C.O.D.
A.C.O.D. is a comedy in which a man named Carter (Parks and Recreation‘s Adam Scott) finds out that he was the subject of a study on children of divorce when he was young. Now grown, Carter is suddenly pushed to enter a follow-up study, and the event begins to unravel his adult life.
Winstead will play Lauren Stinger, Carter’s longtime girlfriend who tries to keep him together as the study is taking him apart. Catherine O’Hara (Beetlejuice), Glee star Jane Lynch, Hot Tub Time Machine star Clark Duke and Oscar-nominated actor Richard Jenkins co-star in the film. The script comes from impressive talent Ben Karlin (Modern Family, The Daily Show, Da Ali G Show) and Stu Zicherman (Six Degrees and…er, Elektra).
No word yet on a release date for A.C.O.D.

all this article had to say was bruce willis and action and i would be there
Come on now, you guys still haven’t made a thread for the new info on ‘Only God Forgives’?
Cliff Martinez is doing the score for the film, new details about the plot and who will be distributing the film.
Make a thread for it.
The title seems a little awful but the story is good.
With Bruce Willis playing one of the five bodygurads, I think the other four should be played by Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, Dolph Lundgren and Scott Adkins then the producer has a badass action movie in my opnion.
At least, I hope 50 Cent will not be in Five Against a Bullet because he is a awful actor and the trailer for Setup was one of the most worst trailers ever.
yeah, dont know why bruce and 50 keep teaming up.
I agree too, Draagyn.
50 Cent is a crap actor and should go back to rap music where Bruce Willis should stop keep on teaming up with 50 Cent.
Bruce Willis is a classic action star.
I mean he has done lots of action classic movies like Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Die Hard 3 and my favourite- The Fifth Element.
Setup was awful by judging the trailer and it became Willis’s first movie to go to straight to DVD.
If Willis keeps on doing this then he might turn out to be like Ray Liottia, Ving Rhames, Eric Roberts, Billy Zane and Ron Perlman who have been doing lots of straight to dvd movies recently.
I mean those guys were great actors back in the old days and it is very sad that those actors don’t do threatical release movies anymore.
So let’s hope Willis has a couple of years of making badass action movies.
I’ll bet Jason Statham will be one of the Five, Bruce has publicly called him the ‘true successor to Die Hard’ or something like that.
