Production
In 2021, Bruce Willis signed on to star in the action film Wrong Place, with filming commencing later that year.[5] In March 2022, the film's director Mike Burns, who previously directed another Bruce Willis film Out of Death, said, "before filming commenced on Wrong Place in 2021, I asked one of Willis's associates how the actor felt and was told he was much better than last year. I took the associates' word for it, but soon realized that Willis was worse. After I finished filming, I said, 'I'm done. I won't make another movie with Bruce Willis.' I'm relieved that he's on vacation."[5] Wrong Place is one of the last films to star Willis, who retired from acting because he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.[6][7][8]
