Special effects guru Alec Gillies (Superman Returns) recently spoke with Moviehole and apparently gushed about a film called Alpha Dog that he has been doing some work on.
“It’s based on a true story that happened right in our area, where our studio is and where I live, about some kids that kidnap another kid and murder him”, Gillies said. “[It’s] A true story – it’s one of the most gut wrenching scripts that I’ve read. Got a great cast – Sharon Stone is in it, Bruce Willis, Justin Timberlake and a bunch of people that my daughter recognizes but I don’t. But we’re doing some make-up effects for that, and having a good time with it”, he says, adding that Timberlake’s as fine-as-silver in the film.
Co-star Bruce Willis apparently thinks dancing-man Timberlake ‘has got it’ because he’s pushing for him to join in for the next Die Hard
An insider says that Willis and Timberlake apparently got along incredibly well on the set of the film, and now Willis is trying to convince him to play his on-screen son in Die Hard 4.0
John Jr, John McClane’s son, was featured in the original Die Hard. In the next film, he’ll be older, and with sister Lucy (the part that Jessica Simpson auditioned for last year) gets entangled in Dad’s latest adventure.
“The Edge of The City script that featured the amazon jungle contained John Jr., with McClane searching for him”, says our scooper. “This ‘Worldwar3.com. plot has supposed computer warfare and apparently contains both John Jr. and Lucy McClane”, he adds, noting that Timberlake is under consideration, but not a lock.
Ben Affleck was rumored to be in the running to play McClane’s son, but the studio is looking for someone with a bit more ‘pull’ at the moment.
On a side note concerning Willis, Sin City made a nice amount of money this weekend. Money enough so that they’re already talking about bringing Frank Miller’s A Dame to Kill For and Family Values to the screen, serving as sequels.
