Posted on June 2, 2012

Hannah Minghella, president of production for Columbia Pictures, has announced that Bruce Willis will star in Five Against A Bullet, an action thriller being developed by producers Lorenzo DiBonaventura, Jordan Schur, and David Mimran. Sam Dickerman and Lauren Abrahams are overseeing the project for the studio. Erik Howsam, who first brought the project into Columbia Pictures, will oversee on behalf of DiBonaventura Pictures.

Alex Litvak is writing the screenplay which centers on a Mexican politician who, after his father is killed by a drug cartel, hires the five best bodyguards from around the world to protect him through a contentious election.

Minghella said in a statement, "We have been excited about this project since acquiring the rights last year from Mimran Schur and believe Bruce Willis is the perfect actor to lead this cast. We look forward to moving Five Against A Bullet into production quickly."
