The Hollywood Reporter brings us news which contain Bruce Willis – therefore I must write about it.

Mischa Barton and Rumer Willis have been cast opposite Bruce Willis, in the dark comedy “The Sophomore”.

In this teenage take on “Chinatown,” Barton plays the most popular girl in her Catholic high school. She persuades a sophomore reporter to investigate the theft of SAT exams, but after he reveals that the school’s president and top jock are responsible, a more sinister conspiracy emerges.

Rumer Willis plays the troublemaking sidekick of Barton’s character. Bruce Willis plays the school’s twisted principal, a Desert Storm veteran who can’t let go of his glory days in Kuwait.

The film (previously titled “Assassination of a High School President”) will be directed by Brett Simon and written by Tim Calpin and Kevin Jakubowski, who all are making their feature film debuts. That feels reassuring…
 
Barton, is of course best known for her role on “The O.C.,” and just recently starred in Luke Kasdan’s indie drama “Don’t Fade Away“. Rumer Willis made her screen debut at age 5 in “Now and Then,” which starred her mother, Demi Moore. She most recently appeared in the 2005 film “Hostage” with her father.

And while we’re on the subject…
…of Willis – check out these 10-minute high-definition clip from Die Hard 4 (Live Free or Die Hard). It has 2 scenes from the movie, showing the non-stop action from the film. Sweet stuff.
