Action movie icon Bruce Willis is finally making his triumphant return to the science fiction genre in the sci-fi actionerCosmic Sin, and we have now been given our first look at the upcoming movie. The image features Bruce Willis in a chunky, metallic space suit and, despite his absence from sci-fi and space-related antics, the suit clearly still fits the 65-year-oldDie Hardstar just fine.
Cosmic Sinis set in a futuristic human society and starsBruce Willisas James Ford, one of the members of a group of rogue soldiers tasked with saving the earth from an invading alien force. The band of warriors and scientists must fight to protect humanity from this hostile alien species, who possess the power to infect and take over human hosts and have now set their sights on humanity’s destruction.
Cosmic Sinis set to be directed by Edward Drake, from a script written by both Drake and Corey Large. Large’s previous credits include the likes ofIt Follows,The November Man, and the Nicolas Cage thrillerThe Frozen Ground, whilst Edward Drake’s previous credits include the dramaAnimalsandTrue Detective. Drake and Large have also co-written the upcoming action sci-fi flickAnti-life, which is also set to star Bruce Willis.Cosmic Sinhas Johnny Messner and Stephen Eads serving as executive producers alongside Benjamin Krause and BondIt Media Capital’s Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor.
Alongside Willis and hisfancy, clunky spacesuit,Cosmis Sinalso features the likes ofCaptain America: The Winter SoldierandThe Purge: Anarchystar Frank Grillo,Teen WolfandThis Is Usstar Adelaide Kane, as well asOld SchoolandThe Royal Tenenbaumsstar Luke Wilson.

Throughout his career, Bruce Willis has starred inseveral classic science fiction movies, both of the exploding and mind-bending kind. These include such big action blockbusters as Michael Bay’sArmageddon, wherein Willis space-suited up to save the world from a giant asteroid alongside Ben Affleck, and Luc Besson’s 1997 movieThe Fifth Element, wherein Willis saved the world from Gary Oldman’s weird haircut, alongside Milla Jovovich. He blew our minds in the likes of Terry Gilliam’s 1995 time-travel masterpiece12 Monkeys, starring alongside Brad Pitt, and again more recently in Rian Johnson’sLooper, which also involved Willis traveling through time in order to stop the young version of himself, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and avenge his future wife.
Despite this first look atCosmic Sinnot showing much, other than Willis' confident smolder and bulky spacesuit, of course, it is exciting to have theaction movie superstarreturn to the sci-fi genre. He clearly looks more than ready to kick some alien’s teeth (or whatever they have) in. This comes to us courtesy ofThe Hollywood Reporter.
