The two actors, who starred in the cult classic Pulp Fiction together back in 1994, will appear opposite each other in a new action-packed thriller titled Paradise City, which is currently filming on location in Hawaii.

Plot details for the film remain under waps for now, but it has been revealed that the film will see the American Crime Story actor and Die Hard star play bitter rivals. The IMDb synopsis for the film reads: "Ryan Swan (Bruce Willis) must carve his way through the Hawaiian crime world to wreak vengeance on the kingpin who murdered his father."

Last year, the Grease actor reunited with another one of his Pulp Fiction co-stars for an advert for Capital One. He and Samuel L Jackson, who played fellow hitman Jules Winnfield in the Quentin Tarantino film, teamed up for a fun holiday commercial that saw him play Santa Claus.

Fans of Pulp Fiction were delighted as they spotted many references to the film in the clip, including a bolo tie in Santa's online shopping basket, a nod to the one John's character famously wore in the movie. Samuel also wore a T-shirt, which read "Happy Holidays 'With Cheese,'" paying tribute to the film's famous "Royale with Cheese" scene.
