Bruce Willis Sued

Bruce Willis and Willis Brother Films are being sued for $4 million. A lawsuit has been filed against the actor claiming that Willis and his production company were in violation of a contract agreeing to produce 'Three Stories About Joan.'

The papers state that Willis quit as director on the project September 29, 2008 without notice, which allegedly puts him in breach of the contract.

The following statement is from Willis' attorney, Marty Singer: "The lawsuit filed against Bruce Willis by the production companies on the proposed motion picture 'Three Stories About Joan' is frivolous and has no merit. In over three decades of practice, I have rarely seen such an absurd lawsuit.

The production companies admitted they did not have the financing in place for the film, failed to pay members of the cast and crew, and failed to deposit Bruce Willis' compensation in escrow, which resulted in the film not going forward. After Mr. Willis threatened to sue the production companies for their breach of contract, they responded with this baseless lawsuit.

Mr. Willis and other individual producers will proceed with their multi-million-dollar affirmative claims against the production companies this week, and are confident that they will prevail".

The three companies filing the suit include Foresight Unlimited, Signature Entertainment Group and Three Stories Productions.
