| Sometimes the resulting lawsuits can be more interesting than the films that spawned them. Such is the case for a recent suit filed by Bruce Willis against Revolution Studios and the producers of 2003's Tears of the Sun, which turned out not to be the name of the next film in the Die Hard franchise but instead found Willis playing a special ops vet leading refugees out of a Nigerian jungle. According to the suit, Willis suffered "substantial injuries" when he was struck in the forehead by a projectile whilst shooting a scene. The suit alleges that Willis suffered "extreme mental, physical and emotional pain" due to his injuries and is seeking compensatory damages. In a related story, a class-action suit is being considered against Willis and Revolution Studios on behalf of moviegoers who saw Tears of the Sun, alleging audiences suffered "extreme mental, physical and emotional pain" after paying $8.50 a pop to watch this dreck in theatres. |

In other Revolution Studios news, the studio has just signed Halle Berry to star in their upcoming Perfect Stranger. The film is described as a psychological thriller, and concerns a woman who goes undercover to investigate a friend's murder. After the celluloid laughingstock that was Catwoman, Berry is in need of a hit to rescue her career and reputation. One rumored plotline that would have had Berry trying to ferret out the murderer by parading around in her Catwoman costume and then sending the police after anyone who did not laugh was reportedly rejected because nobody could be found who could keep a straight face long enough to get a take. |
| Supernatural thrillers seem to be the new order of the day, in the wake of such recent successes as The Grudge and Saw. The latest such project to be greenlighted is titled Whisper, and tells the story of a young boy who is kidnapped by a former convict and three of his friends. After the kidnapping, a series of strange events leads the kidnappers to the conclusion that the innocent young boy might not so innocent after all, and isn't that always the way? Rumors that the boy will turn out to be Donald Trump in disguise, who will then proceed to grade the kidnappers on their technique before telling them "You're fired" could not be confirmed at press time. |
