Stars: Nicky Whelan, Bruce Willis, Texas Battle, Tito Ortiz, Steve Guttenberg | Written by Paul Da Silva | Directed by Matt Eskandari

In his latest direct-to-dvd effort, Trauma Centre, Bruce Willis plays Lt. Wakes, a vengeful police detective determined to solve the murders of his partner and an informant. Wakes joins forces with Madison (Nicky Whelan), a witness injured during the shootings. After the killers pursue Madison across the abandoned floor of a hospital, she confirms Wakes’s worst fears: the two men are actually corrupt vice cops covering up a crime.

Yet another Emmett/Furla production starring Willis, who might give Nic Cage a run for his money in terms of his appearances in Dtv movies, Trauma Centre is – at its core – another in the long line of Die Hard clones, only this time they got the original Die Hard star to appear in the film… Oh and did I mention we also get Steve Guttenberg?...

Everyone knows that when his back is up against the wall, Bruce Willis is capable of transforming into a one-man wrecking machine. We've seen him clean house as John McClane for the classic action series Die Hard, and now he's about to put some bad guys in the hospital for Trauma Center. Directed by 12 Feet Deep and Victim helmer Matt Eskandari from a script penned by Paul Da Silva…...

MoviePass Films has just signed Bruce Willis up for a three-picture deal. I’m actually pretty surprised that MoviePass is still around, but they’ve just landed one of the greatest action stars of all-time to help continue to build their brand and business.

It’s not surprising that Willis has signed on to do this, after all he has a long relationship with MoviePass Films CEOs and Co-founders Randall Emmett, George Furla, and Ted Farnsworth. Willis has made 14 films with these guys over the years before they jumped onto MoviePass Films.

Willis recently finished shooting the film 10 Minutes Gone for MoviePass Films, which is currently in post-production. However, the first film under this new deal will be called Trauma Center. There are no details on the film, but it was written by Paul da Silva and it will start shooting in February in Miami.
