So what about numbers 4, 7, 8, 10 and 11?

 

Coming soon, Bruce Willis in five new movies:

4 Funerals and a Wedding
Bruce is Jack Jackal, a crack government hit man, sent to cap the worlds leading four crime figures, which is done in complex and ever more difficult ways. In the end he marries a former nun played by Andie McDowell, the widow of the final crime boss.

7mm
Bruce’s role is that of Tony Stewart, a film-maker caught up with a group of splatter-snuff movie makers who use the slightly smaller 7mm film stock to stage murders, film them and sell them to the highest bidder

Bruce accepted 7mm after turning down a role in ...

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
The movie version of the popular bestseller. Bruce would have played a character who taught people the errors of their ways while wearing a blood stained and ripped singlet and a butterfly closure on his eyebrow using the child psychology techniques he had begun to develop in the 6th Sense.

8ight
Bruce plays Dirk Salmond, a criminologist hunting a serial killer who follows a murderous pattern based on the 8 deadly sins. The killer (played by Kevin Spacey-Bacon) has already made killings based on Gluttony, Sloth, Vanity, Covetousness, Envy, Lechery and Wrath. The eighth victim, Procrastination, keeps receiving death threats but the killer continues to taunt Dirk by putting the murder off. Can Dirk solve the riddles left by the killer?

Gone in 10 Seconds
Bruce plays a Nathan McAnley, a very frustrated former psychologist struggling with his pathological desire to steal cars with Angie (played by Angelina Jolie). Angie she doesn’t like a man who is so quick and is chasing Nick (played by Nicholas Cage as John Travolta) who apparently takes 60 seconds. Nick, however, is already in a failing, but passionate, romance with Nicole (played by Kim Bassinger). Full of action and suspense as Nick and Nathan trade identities, cars, girlfriends and salaries.

 

The 11th Man
Bruce is Eddie Trickle, a former US soccer star sidelined by a nasty knee injury, who has taken to drinking, especially after the depart of his wife (played by Geena Davis). He is invited to coach the women’s Olympic soccer team for the 2004 Olympics if he agrees to sober up. Arriving on the first day sober, clean and well dressed. Eddie tries to show the women how to really play soccer, but they show him up and he takes to drinking again. On the eve of the Olympics he arrives to save the day and has a romance with Madonna (played by Madonna).

Of course it doesn’t have to end with 12 Monkeys – what about:

Flight 13
Bruce plays Brad Tipp in a comedy about a plane lost over the Rockies. Can Brad and co-pilot Top "Jump-Start" Hugely (played by Charlie Sheen) and head steward Sam Nicholas (played by Leslie Neilsen) save the passengers from cannibalism when the plane goes down just outside Denver. A hilarious send up of movies such as ‘Die Hard 2’, ‘Wall Street’ and ‘The Naked Gun’.

14 Days
Bruce is Sam Bullock, an out of control alcoholic who wrecks his brother’s wedding and gets to dry out for two weeks.

And before movie number 1 there was

Zero Impact
A Russian space probe knocks the moon out of its orbit. Can Bruce, as Cal Stein, expert geology lecturer, and his intrepid band of geology students fly into space and save the Earth?

Minus 1 Kelvin
Bruce is Joe Alexander, a researcher struggling to create a perfect superconducting computer component. When his Antarctic research crew is wiped out by terrorists (led by Arnie Schicklegruber, played by Adam Sandler) Joe must single handedly traverse the icy wastes to recover the stolen circuit while wearing stained singlet, a butterfly closure and carrying a gun with just one bullet.
