RLJ Entertainment has announced they’ve picked up the rights to Once Upon a Time in Venice, the new action/comedy direct by Mark Cullen and starring Bruce Willis. The film is scheduled to hit theaters and VOD on June 16th.
Willis can be hit or miss these days, but I’m pretty excited about this because the rest of the cast is very good. John Goodman, Thomas Middleditch, Jason Momoa, Famke Janssen, Adam Goldberg and Kal Penn. So even if Willis fails to bring it, there’s a lot of good stuff to work with here.
Synopsis:
ONCE UPON A TIME IN VENICE tells the story of Venice Beach P.I. Steve Ford (Bruce Willis): a detective who’s good with the ladies, bad with the punches, and wild about his dog, Buddy. But when his beloved pet is stolen by local thugs, Steve makes a questionable alliance with their devious leader, Spider (Jason Momoa). Teaming up with his best friend (John Goodman), Steve pulls out the big guns in search of Spider’s stolen cocaine and cash in order to set things straight and get Buddy back where he belongs.
