Aphasia is a cognitive disorder that can impact a person’s communication skills and can be caused by stroke or head injury. After Willis was diagnosed with this illness, his family released an official statement announcing he’s stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.

“To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities,” reads the statement by the actor’s family.

Willis’ career spans over four decades, and he’s best known for the role of John McClane in the Die Hard franchise. This series cemented his status as one of the biggest action stars of his generation, and he took similarly action-packed roles in The Expendables, Red, and Sin City franchises.

Willis explored many other genres throughout his career and starred in acclaimed films Pulp Fiction (1994), The Fifth Element (1997), The Sixth Sense (1999), and Moonrise Kingdom (2012). He won one Golden Globe and received two Emmy nominations, in addition to winning a series of other prestigious accolades.

The veteran actor, known for multiple projects including the acclaimed Die Hard franchise, Pulp Fiction, Armageddon, The Sixth Sense, and more, has boarded Matt Eskandari’s The Night is Long. 

The action thriller for Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films will be Willis’ and producers Randall Emmett and George Furla sixteenth collaboration. 

In The Long Night, “two ruthless criminals break into a disgraced doctor’s home to be given medical attention after one of them is shot during a robbery gone wrong. Knowing that he lacks the expertise to patch up the injured trespasser, the doctor must protect his family at all costs.”

It is known which character Willis is set to play. 

The feature was penned by screenwriter Doug Wolfe.

Filming is scheduled to begin June 3 in Columbus, Georgia.

The performance is just slightly below what Universal had forecasted ($50 million).  The film, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Sarah Paulson and James McAvoy, debuted on Thursday in 3,200 North American theaters and earned $3.7 million that night.

Glass is the continuation of Shyamalan’s Unbreakable and its sequel Split in 2017. The film’s success is yet to happen. Critics predict that Glass will become the second highest grossing film in the MLK weekend only behind American Sniper that grossed $107.2 million in 2015.  That means the film will surpass Kevin hart and Ice Cube’s Ride Along’s $48 million earnings the comedy film earned in 2014.

Shyamalan directed, wrote and financed film for a total of $20 million. He hired most of his former employees in past sequels for Glass. McAvoy reprised his character from the Split movie while both Willis and Jackson reprised their roles in the original Unbreakable movie.

Poor reviews may have shunned enthusiasm to view the film, which was originally forecasted to debut at $70 million. Fortunately, both the Upside and Aquaman also had unfavorable reviews but are leading box office numbers so far.

The film is a sequel to director M. Night Shyamalan’s other successful films Unbreakable and Split. Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Charlayne Woodward and Spencer Treat Clark will reprise their characters in Unbreakable. James McAvoy and Anya Taylor will reprise their characers in Split while Adam Thompson will join the cast for the first time.

The film’s trailer was released early in July and has been viewed more than 25 million times so far.

If the film hits its target during its Martin Luther King Weekend release date, it will become the second highest grossing movie released during that specific weekend. American Sniper, released at the 2015 MLK holiday, gathered $107 million. The second closest film released at the MLK weekend is Ride Along, the buddy comedy film that starred Kevin Hart and Ice Cube and released in 2014.

With stars from both Unbreakable and Split movies, director Shyamalan hopes to bring an end to his series. The movie reportedly cost $20 million, double the production cost for Split. Unbreakable cost $70 million to produce but grossed $248.1 million worldwide. The Split film made $278 million.

After the sixth installment in this franchise was announced, fans believed it will be called Die Hard: Year One. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura put these rumors to rest and confirmed the new official title.

“You can tell our intention by the fact that the title page we handed in [for the script] says, McClane. We want you to get invested in John McClane more than ever before,” said Di Bonaventura.

The movie will focus on a younger version of the character, but that doesn’t mean Bruce Willis won’t be around. After A Good Day to Die Hard came out, he expressed a desire to return for one last ride, before retiring from playing his most iconic role. Upcoming Die Hard sequel should bounce back and forth between younger and older version of the character, and Willis is an essential part of it.

“I don’t know how you do Die Hard without Bruce. The idea that he’s not very significant in this movie is not accurate at all. We are going to explore John McClane in his 20s. But just as prominent is the 60-year-old version,” explained Di Bonaventura.

The Die Hard actor had his hour in the hot seat on Saturday night when he was “honored” as the subject of a Comedy Central Roast.

Bruce’s co-star in Looper, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, hosted the event which was recorded at the Hollywood Palladium and will be broadcast on the 29th of July.

Edward Norton, Martha Stewart, and Cybill Shepherd all threw jabs at the 55-year-old before a special guest took to the podium… Bruce’s ex-wife, Demi Moore.

The two were married between 1987 and 2000 and have 3 daughters together.

“For those of you that don’t know me, I am Demi Moore,” began the Blind actress. “I was married to Bruce for the first three Die Hard movies, which makes sense because the last two sucked.”

She also cracked jokes involving their daughters: “Bruce is super generous. When our daughter Rumer was a baby and it was his turn to change the diaper in the middle of the night, he would lean over and whisper to me, ‘I’ll give you a thousand dollars right now if you change that diaper.’ Scout asked me not to say anything, but just last week he offered her a thousand dollars to change his diaper. Some things never change.”

Burn.

Comedy Central has announced that the action star has been selected as the next honouree of its infamous comedy roast.

The Death Wish actor will follow in the footsteps of Charlie Sheen, James Franco, the late Joan Rivers, and even Justin Bieber when he takes the scorching hot seat on the date yet to be announced.

“This ain’t the first time I’ll be tied to a chair and held hostage by a group of humorless assholes for a couple hours,” quips the 63-year-old in the promo clip.

President of Comedy Central, Kent Alterman, has said, “Bruce has survived terrorists, Armageddon, romance and death itself. Yet, nothing has prepared him for this Roast.”

We’re expecting loads of shots taken at his career which includes 5 Die Hard films, a brief rendezvous as a recording artist, as well as the fact that his wife of 13 years, Demi Moore, married a man 23 years his junior.

There’s little doubt they’ll go the whole 9 yards.
