'Moonrise Kingdom' Poster: Meet Bruce Willis' Character, Captain Sharp

Posted: 04/17/2012 12:59 pm Updated: 04/17/2012 1:36 pm

In the 1988 action flick, "Die Hard," Bruce Willis famously opined: "Nine million terrorists in the world and I gotta kill one with feet smaller than my sister."

Although similarities between that movie and Bruce's next film, "Moonrise Kingdom," are likely few and far between, Willis will at least be keeping one aspect of John McClane's personality intact: his wit.

In this exclusive new "Moonrise" poster, viewers get a closer look at Bruce's character, Captain Sharp. The six different panels in the image feature shots of Sharp, one of which has him face-to-face with the film's protagonist, Sam, while the officer says "I can't argue against anything you're saying -- but then again, I don't have to, because you're 12 years old."

Take that, Sam! (Just a tad more subtle than "Yippee ki-yay, motherf----r," right?)

Set in 1960s New England, director Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" tells the story of Sam (Jared Gilman), a young boy who runs away from home with childhood crush Suzy (Kara Hayward). The film also stars Ed Norton, Frances McDormand and Bill Murray. It hits theaters on May 25.

You can check out the Captain Sharp profile below, along with six other character posters from the film, debuting on other movie sites.

So it's basically every Wes Anderson movie ever? A little stylistic variety on his part might be appreciated.

I'll check it out based on the cast choices alone: Willis, Norton and Murray is a KILLER combo
