Sylvester Stallone said Willis was "greedy and lazy".
Now new, details have surfaced regarding what the name calling meant.
A source for THR says the fallout occurred over salary demands. Willis was only required to be on set for four days of consecutive work on location in Bulgaria.
He was offered him $3 million. Willis told them that he'd drop out unless he got $4 million (ie. a million dollars a day). Stallone and everybody else involved then said "No."
Their source also says: "I think [Willis] was pretty surprised he was replaced in 72 hours by Harrison Ford — a better actor, a much nicer person and a more interesting direction for the film."
Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, Kellan Lutz Milla Jovovich Mixed Martial Arts fighter Ronda Rousey and welterweight boxer Victor Ortiz are all set to join the film. Thankfully Nicolas Cage ended speculation that he might show up and ruin the movie.
Also on producer Avi Lerner's initial wish-list was Clint Eastwood.
Stallone and most of his pals from the last two flicks in the series will be back in the line up.
The movie will be directed by Patrick Hughes (Red Hill) from a script by Richard Wenk. It's scheduled to start production in August.
The movie is slated to open August 15th 2014.
There's also an all-female riff on the premise in the works as well Katee Sackhoff ("Battlestar Galactica") and former MMA fighter-turned-actress Gina Carano ("Haywire") are set
