About frickin' time!
Bruce "fast forward eats the tape" Willis wants to make a movie. No, no...hear me out. This one's going to be good.
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.
“I am baffled to understand why the things I saw happening in Iraq are not being reported,” he told MSNBC, the American news channel.
I for one am not baffled as to why the MSM won't report these things. The MSM has become a partisan group that is cares more for it's own ratings and politics than anything resembling the truth.
I hope Mr. Willis can get this off the ground. My belief is that the ultra left wing in Hollyweird won't let it happen. Of course, Passion of the Christ got made, so who knows?
You can find out more about the Deuce Four at Michael Yon's online magazine. These guys are real life heroes (and so is Michael, for that matter).
As a side note, I must admit to being a Bruce Willis fan, particularly this one.
"Guess you'll have to kill me."
"It'll hurt if I do."
Heh, heh. I'm probably the only one who likes that film.
Hat tip to Michelle.
