Action movie icon Bruce Willis is making his triumphant return to the science fiction genre in the sci-fi actionerBreach, also known asAnti-Life, and Saban Films have now released the first trailer. Despite his absence from sci-fi and space-related antics, the 65-year-oldDie Hardstar slides easily back into the genre, with the trailer finding Willis on typically endearingly arrogant form as he battles a shape-shifting alien while aboard an isolated space station.
After fleeing from a devastating plague on Earth,BreachfindsBruce Willisand crew on an interstellar ark that comes under attack from a new threat; a shape-shifting alien force intent on slaughtering what is left of humanity. Looking like a less bone-chilling take onThe Thing-in-space, the trailer finds Willis and the crew banding together for survival and gives the actor ample opportunities to look sternly down the barrel of a gun.
Directed by John Suits from a screenplay co-written by Edward Drake and Corey Large,Breachstars Cody Kearsley as Noah, Callan Mulvey as Teek, Kassandra Clementi as Hayley, Rachel Nichols as Chambers, Timothy V. Murphy as Commander Stanley, and Thomas Jane as Admiral alongside Bruce Willis as Clay Young.
Throughout his career, Bruce Willis has starred in several science fiction movies that have gone on to be considered classics of the genre. Willis first journeyed into the cosmos in Michael Bay’sArmageddon, wherein Willisspace-suited up to save the worldfrom a giant asteroid alongside Ben Affleck, and Luc Besson’s 1997 movieThe Fifth Element, which finds Willis saving the world from Gary Oldman’s nefarious plans and weird haircut, alongside Milla Jovovich.
The Hollywood icon 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 Willistraveling through time to stop the young version of himself, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and avenge his future wife.
Willis' dalliances with sci-fi vary between both the mind-bending and action-packed kind, withBreachlooking very much like the latter, with the action superstar consistently being given bigger and bigger guns throughout the trailer.
It’s great to see Willis return to a genre that has served him so well over the years, withBreachjust one of his future forays with science fiction. The other isCosmic Sin, which finds Willis teaming up again withBreachwriters Edward Drake, Corey Large. Willis stars as James Ford, one of the members of a group of rogue soldiers tasked with saving the earth from an invading alien force in a futuristic human society. The band of warriors and scientists must fight to protect humanity from thishostile alien species, who possess the power to infect and take over human hosts and have now set their sights on humanity’s destruction. Also starring Frank Grillo and Luke Wilson,Cosmic SinandBreachsound rather similar, but does that really matter when they’re just excuses for Willis to kick some alien teeth (or whatever they have) in?
Breachis due to be released in theaters and on VOD and digital platforms on July 11, 2025. This comes to us fromSaban Films.
