Bruce Willis and Shia LaBeouf join musical movie ‘Rock the Kasbah’

LOS ANGELES, Feb 1 — The two actors will share the screen with Bill Murray in this feature directed by Barry Levinson, Deadline.com indicates.

“Rock the Kasbah” has added five new faces to its cast, including Bruce Willis (“Red 2”) and Shia Labeouf (“Nymphomaniac”). Kate Hudson (“Glee”), Danny McBride (“Eastbound & Down”) and Zooey Deschanel (“New Girl”) have also joined the feature.

Directed by Barry Levinson, the movie will focus on a music manager who, while accompanying a client on a USO tour in Afghanistan, comes across a young singer with an extraordinary voice and urges her to try out for the local version of “America’s Got Talent.” Attached to the project since September, Bill Murray will star in the title role.

The screenplay for “Rock the Kasbah” was penned by Mitch Glazer, who worked with Murray in the past as a writer on the 1988 film “Scrooged.”
