JackFetch Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan will star in Warner Bros.' detective comedy "A Couple of Cops," with Kevin Smith directing his first major studio pic. Marc Platt's producing the project, formerly titled "A Couple of Dicks." The scripting team of Robb and Marc Cullen penned the screenplay, centered on a pair of cops who track down a stolen baseball card, rescue a Mexican beauty and must deal with gangsters and laundered drug money. Warner picked up the project in turnaround last year from Gold Circle, where it had been in development with Robin Williams and James Gandolfini in the lead roles. Willis will next be seen in Disney sci-fi thriller "The Surrogates," directed by Jonathan Mostow. "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" star Morgan has been set for a remake of "Death at a Funeral" for Screen Gems and Sidney Kimmel. Smith directed "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" last year for the Weinstein Co. http://www.variety.com/article/VR111800080...yid=13&cs=1 Smith directing a movie he didn't write is going to be strange. I'm a huge Bruce Willis fan, and Tracy Morgan is batshit crazy. In my head it sounds like Rush Hour, but with people I actually like.

Stavros Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I hope they work this into 30 Rock as a project for Morgan's character Tracy Jordan. They can add it to his film back-catalogue including "Who dat ninja" and " A Blaffair to Rememblack". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 " A Blaffair to Rememblack". That along with the Thomas Jefferson thing are tow of my favorite moments: Tracy: "I want you to write me a movie about the life of Thomas Jefferson where I play all of the roles." Writer: "That could actually be really funny." Tracy: "It's a drama." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Where's yo feet, Mr. Blue Man! You ain't got no feet!" Seriously, the best that could come of this is Bruce Willis on 30 Rock as himself or Jack's brother or something.

SuaveStar Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Didn't Smith claim after reaper he never wanted to direct someone elses script again. Ah backtracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George W. Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Didn't Smith claim after reaper he never wanted to direct someone elses script again. Ah backtracking. He's also stated how much of a man-crush he has on Bruce Willis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 In A Threesome With Kevin Smith he talks about working with Bruce Willis on the last Die Hard and Willis asked him to write a movie for him. He couldn't come up with anything, so I guess this was the only way he could work with him again. btw, that Bruce Willis story is the best thing about that Threesome dvd.
