Emmett/Furla Films, a wholly owned subsidiary of Family Room Entertainment Corporation, in conjunction with Millennium Films and Equity Pictures, announced on March 8th that Bruce Willis has signed on to star in 16 Blocks for director Richard Donner (Leathal Weapon, Maverick). The picture is scheduled to begin filming in Toronto and New York in late summer. Based on a screenplay written by Richard Wenk, 16 Blocks follows Jack Mosley (Bruce Willis), an aging cop assigned the mundane task of escorting a fast-talking, wise-cracking young witness to the courthouse sixteen city blocks away, and the action-packed thrill-ride that takes place in those "sixteen blocks."
