LONDON - A lawsuit has been filed against Hollywood actor Bruce Willis for walking off the set despite his commitment to direct the movie.

Foresight Unlimited claims it inked a deal with Willis to direct a movie called ‘Three Stories About Joan’, starring Owen Wilson and Camilla Belle, reported tmz.com.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claims: ‘Willis abruptly and without notice terminated his services as director for personal reasons and walked off the set’.

The suit seeks more than $4 million as damages.

Willis’ legal Spokesperson, Marty Singer said: ‘The suit is absurd. The movie collapsed because the producers didn’t have the money to pay anyone.’

‘The producers were required to salary money in an escrow account, but never did. Willis will sue the producers for the fee they promised.’
