Demi Moore is going indie

Washington (ANI): Demi Moore has her hands full at the moment, signing on for back-to-back two independent films - one a family drama, the other a martial arts movie. Along with indie queen Parker Posey, the 45-year-old stunner will topline 'Happy Tears' from filmmaker Mitchell Lichtenstein. She will then hook up with Woody Harrelson for 'Bunraku' from Snoot Entertainment.

"Tears," which Lichtenstein wrote and is directing, follows a woman, prone to self-aggrandizement, who returns to her Wisconsin home and must deal with her bitter sister and her father, who suffers from a rare form of dementia. Moore plays the sister, fed up with dealing with the hateful father, reports Hollywood Reporter.

Joyce Pierpoline is producing via Pierpoline Productions. Shooting commences in April in Philadelphia. 'Bunraku', written and directed by Guy Moshe, follows a man (Josh Hartnett) on a revenge quest who finds himself in an even bigger fight than he bargained for. Moore plays the enslaved concubine of a warlord who is forced to marry her captor. Harrelson plays a bartender.
