Michael Rooker and Bruce Willis to Star in the Sci-Fi Action Movie CORRECTIVE MEASURES
Tubi has announced that they are developing a sci-fi action film titled Corrective Measures, which is based on Grant Chastain’s graphic novel of the same name. The movie will be written and directed by Sean Patrick O’Reilly (Howard Lovecraft and The Kingdom of Madness), and Micheal Rooker and Bruce Willis are set to star.
When I saw the news my first thought was that we are going to get to see Rooker upstage Willis, who doesn’t seem to really be trying these days. He’s, like, sleepwalking through his performances.
The movie is set in San Tiburon, the world’s most dangerous maximum-security penitentiary. The story follows the “monsters, cyborgs, and supervillains incarcerated in the prison, including wealthy genius Julius ‘The Lobe’ Loeb (Willis) and corrupt warden Devlin (Rooker), who is after The Lobe’s riches.”
The movie also stars Dan Payne (Watchmen) and Brennan Mejia (Power Rangers) who appear as Payback and Diego Diaz, respectively, “who increase tension between inmates and staff until anarchy erupts.” Tom Cavanagh (The Flash), Kat Ruston (The 100), Kevin Zegers (Rebel), and Hayley Sales (Deadpool 2) also star.
Adam Lewinson, chief content officer at Tubi, said in a statement, “We’re excited to be harnessing the creative talent of Sean Patrick O’Reilly, Bruce Willis, Michael Rooker and Todd Masters to bring this celebrated comic book series to life. Corrective Measures is a powerfully authentic and captivating sci-fi action film that speaks to our unwavering commitment to provide the Tubi audience with a broad array of compelling original content.”
O’Reilly added, “Corrective Measures is a project I’ve been wanting to see come to life from the pages of Arcana’s graphic novel series for a long time. Overseeing this project from script to screen has been an incredible journey, and to have my live-action directing debut at this level with so many talented cast and crew is truly a dream come true. Directing, writing and producing ‘Corrective Measures’ was such an incredible experience and I cannot think of a better partner than Fox and Tubi for Arcana’s launch into live action productions.”
The movie will premiere on Tubi in spring 2022. Does this sound like a movie that you’d be interested in watching?
