     Netflix said it will announce additions to the Netflix LIVE! On
 Location series in the coming weeks. The series will pair classic films
 with live musical performances by the films' featured stars in locations
 uniquely associated with the movies. Last summer, as part of a nationwide
 summer screening tour, Netflix brought Kevin Costner and his band to the
 cornfields of Dyersville, Iowa for an event attended by thousands at the
 shooting location of the 1989 classic, "Field of Dreams."
     Mr. Willis's concert and screening are scheduled for Thursday, August
 2nd, beginning at 7:30 p.m. local time. The star and his band are expected
 to perform a 60-minute set of original blues music. Returning to the space
 center for the first time since the filming of producer Jerry Bruckheimer's
 sci-fi hit "Armageddon" a decade ago, Mr. Willis is expected to be welcomed
 by about 5,000 fans in the center's spectacular Rocket Garden. "It is truly
 thrilling to return to The Kennedy Space Center to enjoy 'Armageddon' with
 my band on hand," said Mr. Willis. "Movies have been my career, but music
 has always been my love, so I am excited about merging the two worlds in
 such a unique way and being able to share it with so many people."
     "Netflix LIVE! On Location is a great way for us to share the Netflix
 experience with thousands of people around the country," said Leslie
 Kilgore, chief marketing officer for Netflix. "Bruce's popularity with
 movie fans is enduring, and we are delighted to be able bring him back to
 Kennedy Space Center for this one-of-a-kind event."
     Mr. Willis' acting career spans more than 50 films over the course of
 20 years. After a successful stint on television, he launched a landmark
 career on the silver screen and became America's #1 action-hero through the
 highly successful "Die Hard" films. His top 10 most popular films,
 including director M. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense" and director
 Terry Gilliam's "12 Monkeys," have been rented more than seven million
 times on Netflix. This summer, Mr. Willis will star in "Live Free, Die
 Hard," the much anticipated fourth installment of the "Die Hard" series,
 which will be in theaters on June 27th
