TV tip Bruce Willis: Willis Festival on April 1st

The sudden career end of Bruce Willis (67) due to the speech disorder disease aphasia caused great sympathy not only in the Hollywood film scene. “He loved acting and singing and the loss of those skills must have been devastating for him. I feel like an asshole for ranting so hard about 2010,” wrote director Kevin Smith, with whom Willis worked closely on the action-comedy Cop Out, on Twitter.

Now the German TV stations Pro Sieben and Kabel Eins are also reacting. This Friday, the program structure will be completely changed in the evening. The previously planned formats are no longer available. From 8:15 p.m. there is a big Bruce Willis film festival until late at night.

At the start of prime time, Willis plays ex-CIA top agent Frank Moses, who wants to do it again in the comic film adaptation “RED – Older, Harder, Better” (2010). Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 masterpiece “Pulp Fiction” follows from around 10:30 p.m., in which Bruce Willis enters the ring alongside John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman as boxer Buth Coolridge.

“Pulp Fiction” is long, and so the superhero thriller “Unbreakable” (2000) only follows from 1:35 a.m., in which Samuel L Jackson as Elijah Price suffers from the rare brittle bone disease and Willis a prevented superhero gives. A rediscovery with cult character. The conclusion for all insomniacs at 03:40 is the gangster saga from the US Prohibition era “Last Man Standing” by Walter Hill (1996). A long night from three decades of the edge-with-heart character.

However, there is no trace of his successful saga “Die Hard” – “Die Hard”, and “The Sixth Sense” is also not on offer. The TV licenses for this may now be somewhere else.

Kabel Eins, in turn, is moving its Willis tribute to next Monday. From 8:15 p.m. on April 4, the channel will show the action flick “16 Blocks” (2006), followed by the documentary “The Bruce Willis Story”. The finale at 11:15 p.m. is the thriller novel adaptation “Hostage” from 2005.
