https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_Sin

Why is he making made for TV (meant made for VHS*l movies like this? Or car battery commercials? I know he's supposed to be a straight up nightmare to work with but he had the biggest drop off of any normal actor that didn't get accused of being a racist (I think) or a pervert that I can remember.

He gets to rake in money for showing up for a single day of filming and not doing anything physical.

I havent seen the movie so I might be wrong but it says he's starring in it. So it's a little more than just showing up, that's a pretty big commitment for a shit movie made by an amateur director. It had to have been an awful set to work on.

"To suggest that Bruce Willis is phoning in his performance in Cosmic Sin would be an insult to telephone communication, which can be an effective means of conveying important information and genuine emotion."

He got old and lazy. At this point he should just stick to doing nothing but Die Hard sequels.

I was wondering this as well, but...

And even if he's the star, he probably doesn't have to be there for more than a week of shooting at most. But I would assume he already has mutli-millions, so maybe he owes people money or something?

Damn you guys are right. I just looked it up. He worked two days on this movie and made $1 to 2 mil a day. They used his likeness for his speaking roles and the poster. all the action scenes and whatever scenes that didn't have his face featured were doubles. I didnt know this movie was that half assed lmao

Yeah, sometimes it doesn't matter how famous you are. An easy paycheck is an easy paycheck.

To quote Michael Caine: "I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."

I dont think Bruce has actually cared that much about acting in a while.

Plus hes probably still getting an abnormally large payday for something of that caliber.

After doing so many big studio blockbusters its probably a breeze to just show up and phone in something crappy for some easy money.

Still seems like kind of a blight on his credits. Could have pulled a Benicio Del Toro and snagged a 7 figure pay day for a 45 minute work day for a beer commercial lol

Most of his recent credits are straight to video movies. I think Glass was his last major movie and his last good movie was probably Looper. And he had like 6 back to back direct to video movies from 2019-2021.

He was really good in Sin City.

I have heard rumors that he's a difficult actor to work with, that explains part of it.

I would suck 500 dicks on camera for $500k. But if I had a $250 mil networth I would not be in a direct to video movie for $500k lol

There are some celebrities that just can't seem to get cast in good movies. I really feel like Steve Martin suffered from this; the man is hilarious and witty, a lot of the movies he's in are TERRIBLE.

Even if you have a 250 mil net worth, you still got bills to pay and houses to buy and swimming pools to give gold trimming to and stuff

It's worth noting that to keep your SAG benefits you have to appear in like one thing a year or some shit. This is why you see old and famous actors in like shitty B movies.

There are plenty of actors that don't have to resort to making 3% RT movies though. I wonder where it all went wrong.

Also not a gold guy. Platinum trimmed pool with a lazy river and a waterfall is all I need.

But Bruce Willis was never a GOOD actor, you know? He was an action star and a bad comedy action star. He cant really rely on his dramatic acting like other actors cN

I mean a guy of that caliber can just do what he wants. Maybe he's at a stage where he is giving back to up and coming directors/actors, he knows being in movies like this will give them some exposure and he's just trying to help.

Look up RalphTheMovieMaker on YT, and check out the couple of more recent (last 1-2 years) movies Willis has done. Ralph completely decimates the films, making you realize just how bad its actually gotten, and is pretty hilarious.

I think he's one of those actors who just doesn't stop working so he'll show up to anything if they pay him enough.

Liam Neeson seems to be like this as well.

I remember his name meant the exact opposite of what it does today. His name would get brought up when talking about movie stars you'd watch a movie just cause they were in it. Now if he's in something, I tend to avoid it. Has he been a major role in anything really good in the last 10 years?
