Rumer Willis dreams of teaming up with her mother Demi Moore in an action-packed movie.
The 36-year-old actress daughter of Bruce Willis is currently promoting her latest film ‘Trail of Vengeance’ – a Civil War-era Western in which she stars as a gun-slinging widow on a quest for retribution.
She has now told People about her future movie dreams: “I would love to do an action movie with (my mother.) That would be so fun.”
Rumer’s new film, directed by Johnny Remo and co-written by Daniel Backman, was released in select US theatres and on VOD on 23 May.
Set in 1875, the film features the actress alongside Gbenga Akinnagbe, Jeff Fahey, Eric Nelson and Graham Greene.
Rumer said her passion for action roles was reignited during filming.
She added: “I felt like a little kid when I found out I got it.”
Describing shoot-’em-up Westerns as her “dream job,” she also said: “I'm such a huge fan of ‘Yellowstone’, ‘1883’.”
The actress – who is the eldest daughter of Demi Moore, 62, and 69-year-old Bruce Willis, who has been battling dementia for years – said her desire to work with her mum is rooted in admiration both personal and professional.
“As a daughter and then also as an actor, as a peer, it’s been such an exciting time to see her finally receive awareness and accolades,” she said, referring to Demi’s recent Oscar nomination for her performance in ‘The Substance’.
She added: “I feel excited as a daughter, but also excited to just watch what she does next.”
Rumer also credited her father’s Hollywood legacy in the action genre as another motivating factor.
“My dad is such an action man,” she said, referencing Bruce Willis’s roles in franchises such as ‘Die Hard’ and ‘Red’.
Rumer added: “My mom’s done her fair share (of action) as well.
“Man, I have such a kooky Hollywood legacy.”
Rumer also said her two-year-old daughter, Louetta – whom she co-parents with her ex-boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas – was unbothered by the sight of her mother covered in blood on set.
She added: “It didn’t scare her. I was like, ‘Man, I really know that you’re a Willis girl'.”
