The action-packed movie “Paradise City” is the first movie to reunite Bruce Willis and John Travolta in 27 years. Corey has been looking to reteam the pair since 2006.

In “Detective Knight Rogue” Bruce Willis stars as veteran Detective James Knight, dedicated to navigating the demanding streets of Los Angeles, in this thrilling first of a trilogy of films. As the city prepares for Halloween, mask-wearing armed robbers critically wound Knight’s partner in a shootout following a heist. With Knight in hot pursuit, the bandits flee L.A. for New York, where the detective’s dark past collides with his present case and threatens to tear his world apart… unless redemption can claim Knight first. “Detective Knight Rogue” was shot in Vancouver with Canadian actors Corey Large, Lochlyn Munro (Riverdale, Peacemaker), Michael Eklund (Wynonna Earp, The Call), and Cody Kearsley (Riverdale, River Road) joining Willis.
