Bruce Willis, Forest Whitaker Play "Catch .44"

By our guest blogger, Matt Jussim

Bruce Willis, Forest Whitaker, Malin Akerman and Kate Mara have signed on to star in the ensemble thriller "Catch .44."

According to Variety, first-time director Aaron Harvey will direct from his own script. Kate Mara also stars in the film.

The story focuses on three women--led by Akerman's character--being thrust into an extraordinary situation involving a psychopathic hitman, played by Whitaker, a grizzled trucker and a delusional line cook. Willis will play the head crime boss, the mastermind behind everything that happens.

While I don’t know much about Harvey, I do know that with a cast of stars like Willis, Whitaker and Akerman, this production is headed in the right direction. While the story sounds as if it could fall into some clichés, I think the actors will take over the characters and this film could end up being a nice surprise.

Shooting kicks off July 11, 2010 in Shreveport, Louisiana.
