Hollywood, CA (CNS) - "Die Hard" star Bruce Willis will be expanding his career by making his directorial debut in the independent film "Three Stories About Joan."

The actor recently launched his own production company called Willis Brothers Films with Stephen Eads and his brother, David Willis. Moshe Diamant, who produced "The Black Dahlia," and Mark Damon, who produced "Monster," will partner with the company to produce the film.

The film is about a young woman who is faced with tragedies at three different times in her life and the tragedies that cause her to lose her grip on reality. "10,000 BC" star Camilla Belle has been tapped to play the character. Kieran Culkin has also been cast for the film.

Along with directing the psychological drama, Willis will also make a cameo appearance as Belle's father in the movie.
