Bruce Willis’ History With Randall Emmett Through the Years: A Timeline

usmagazine.com:

Fifteen years of history. While Bruce Willis has taken a step back from acting after his aphasia diagnosis, he had worked on more than 100 films — including many with producer Randall Emmett.“I’ve been on 15 movies of Bruce and I never got nervous once,” Emmett recalled to ComingSoon.net in August 2021. “When he showed up for the first time [on Midnight in the Switchgrass, my directorial debut], for me to have to really give him a vision and direction, I [felt] butterflies.

He was great. He was fun. Everybody loved working with him. He’s Bruce Willis. It just doesn’t get any better.”Despite a seemingly amicable working relationship, the Die Hard actor’s bond with Emmett made headlines in June 2022 when Lala Kent alleged the movie producer told her that he knew about Willis’ health concerns before it became public knowledge.
