Casting Net: Bruce Willis is 'The Prince'; Ellen Page, more

• With a title like The Prince, die-hard Bruce Willis fans might worry that he’s decided to go from blue collar to blue blood. Thankfully, it’s a little misleading. Armenian director Sarik Andreasyan (American Heist) will tell the story of a retired Las Vegas mobster who must return to the city when he discovers that his teenage daughter is missing. Willis will play the man who has been cautiously awaiting the return of the mob enforcer. Filming will begin in New Orleans in October. Willis’s next scheduled release is Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, which hits theaters Aug. 22, 2014. [Deadline]

• Ellen Page (Juno) is in talks to star as British Intelligence Agent Tara Chase in the adaptation of Greg Rucka’s comic series Queen & Country for Fox. John Rogers, who wrote Transformers and Catwoman, is penning the script. The movie, and potential franchise, has been in development for quite some time — Nicole Kidman was up for the part a few years ago. Betty Thomas (28 Days, John Tucker Must Die), had also been lined up to direct years ago. No director is currently attached to the project. Page’s latest, the Lynn Shelton indie Touchy Feely, is currently available on VOD. [Variety]
