For
most people, the prospect of earning a staggering $3million for just
four days work would sound like a pretty sweet deal.
But
not Bruce Willis, who was reportedly ditched from upcoming movie The
Expendables 3 - penned by Sylvester Stallone - after demanding an
astronomical $4million fee.
Despite
already commanding a rather generous pay packet for the role, which
required four days of consecutive work on location in Bulgaria, the
58-year-old actor is said to have wanted an eye-popping million
dollars a day.
Stallone
and everybody else involved in the project said no.'
Willis was subsequently replaced with fellow A-list actor Harrison
Ford within just 72 hours.
Stallone was so upset by Willis demand, he lashed out on the actor and friend on Twitter.
Stallone's
announcement on Twitter initially seemed upbeat,as he said: 'WILLIS
OUT... HARRISON FORD IN !!!! GREAT NEWS !!!!! Been waiting years for
this!!!!'
However
it seemed there was more to the casting change than initially met the
eye, as moments later he wrote: 'GREEDY AND LAZY ...... A SURE
FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE.'
Harrison Ford will indeed bring a new flavour to this franchise.
