Must be great to be a new feature director and end up with a cast like this: first-timer Aaron Harvey is directing Catch .44, and he's got Bruce Willis, Forest Whitaker and Malin Akerman on board to star.

The film is about three women, led by Akerman, who get tied into a weird scenario involving "a psychopathic hitman, played by Whitaker, a grizzled trucker and a delusional line cook. Willis will play the head crime boss, the mastermind behind everything that happens." The name is a little cutesy, and the plot sounds like it could go either way…but Willis and Whitaker? Yeah, that's good enough to start with. [Variety]

After the break, Jeff Fahey gets a new role, and a horror thriller with delusions of Hitchcock casts up.Read the rest of this post on SlashFilm.com…
