A Film by Bruce Willis. Trade Roughage 09/24/08

Here’s something I thought I’d never see, though I guess it is inevitable that all major actors will direct at least one film in their lives: the words “A Film by Bruce Willis” shall feature in the credits for the indie Three Stories About Joan, which will star Camilla Belle. In addition to making his directorial debut, Willis will also co-star as Belle’s father.
Initially, I also was surprised to read that American Psycho is getting the Broadway musical treatment. Then, I realized it’s basically just Sweeney Todd with ’80s music. Still, I have to wonder about all the sex and vulgarities. Also: will it be as much a laugh riot as “Oh Africa, Brave Africa”?
This I find not shocking at all: Billy Crystal is making his first live-action appearance in seven years to play opposite The Rock in the lamest of lame comedies, Tooth Fairy.
A producer in India is ignoring the rules of the Foreign Language Oscar and independently submitting his film, Tingya, to the Academy, separate of his country’s official entry. The film may not be good enough to receive a nomination even if it were eligible, but at least the guy is protesting the unfair process. Meanwhile, THR’s Risky Biz Blog is excited about the foreign film race following Israel’s submission this week of Waltz With Bashir.
