‘CORRECTIVE MEASURES’
Willis plays the lead alongside Michael Rooker in Corrective Measures, a sci-fi action film based on Grant Chastain’s novel of the same name.
The movie is set in San Tiburon, the world’s most dangerous maximum-security penitentiary. It follows a host of monsters, cyborgs, and villains that all occupy the same prison.
In the film, Willis plays Julius “The Lobe” Loeb, a wealthy genius, while Rooker plays Devlin who is a corrupt warden after The Lobe’s riches.
Tom Cavanagh (The Flash), Kat Ruston (The 100), Kevin Zegers (Rebel) and Hayley Sales (Deadpool 2) also star in the film.
Sean Patrick O’Reilly of Howard Lovecraft and The Kingdom of Madness wrote, produced and directed the movie.
“Corrective Measures is a project I’ve been wanting to see come to life from the pages of Arcana’s graphic novel series for a long time. Overseeing this project from script to screen has been an incredible journey, and to have my live-action directing debut at this level with so many talented cast and crew is truly a dream come true,” O’Reilly told Variety.
