Bruce Willis has signed on for Chinese second world war epic The Bombing, according to Variety.
Directed by Xiao Feng and set in 1943, the film explores the plight of the people of Chongqing as they are bombed by the Japanese. Willis plays a US fighter pilot who volunteers to help the locals learn how to fly in order to put up a defense.
Willis will reportedly shoot for eight days on the project, which has an estimated budget of $90 million, making the film one of the most expensive Chinese productions to date.
