Bad news for the Bruce Willis-Ben Kingsley thriller WAKE, which we last told you about in WAKE tells the story of Red Forrester (Willis), a sociopath with no fear, who returns to his childhood home on a remote island for his brother’s wake. When the island comes under siege, Red must save the very family that banished him from his ancestral home years ago. Kingsley was to play Kole, this film’s powerful antagonist. Ellen Burstyn and Piper Perabo were also recently cast, but none are expected to return if the flick gets put back together again. Director John Pogue (THE QUIET ONES) is also gone. Deadline says the best case scenario sees the project being revived in a year’s time, presumably with a new team.
