Bruce Willis will star in Sony's action thriller "Five Against a Bullet," Hannah Minghella, president of production at Sony's Columbia Pictures, said, according to The Wrap.
The movie, which Alex Litvak ("The Three Musketeers," "Predators") is writing, is about a Mexican politician who hires the five best bodyguards in the world after a drug cartel kills his father.
Willis will play one of the bodyguards.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Jordan Schur and David Mimran are producing the movie.
"We have been excited about this project since acquiring the rights last year," Minghella said in a statement. "Bruce Willis is the perfect actor to lead this cast. We look forward to moving "Five Against a Bullet" into production quickly.
Willis will soon begin production on "A Good Day to Die Hard," the fifth installment of the "Die Hard" movies.
