Bruce Willis has dropped out of Woody Allen's latest movie, according to Deadline. And it may not have been his choice.
The film, which is untitled, stars an ensemble cast including Blake Lively, Kristen Stewart ("Twilight"), and Jesse Eisenberg ("The Social Network").
According to the Deadline story, Willis had to bow out because of a scheduling conflict. He has plans to star in a coming Broadway adaptation of Stephen King's classic novel "Misery."
But the same day that news broke, photos surfaced of Willis on the set of Allen's movie in Beverly Hills, California.
Now some have questioned whether Willis' exit really was due to a scheduling conflict. Actor availability is often worked out before cameras start rolling, and The Wrap's Jeff Sneider tweeted that Willis was actually fired.

Christopher Walken and Sam Shepard both were filmed playing the role of Peter in 'September' before ultimately being replaced by Sam Waterston. Michael Keaton was replaced by Jeff Daniels after ten days of shooting 'The Purple Rose Of Cairo.' Juliette Lewis replaced Emily Lloyd in 'Husbands and Wives' after some footage was shot.
