  • Story Text: Actor Tracy Morgan turns heads for his all-red tracksuit at the New York City premiere of his latest film, "Cop Out".
    Veteran actor Bruce Willis has predicted life is about to change for his latest film co-star Tracy Morgan, of television's "30 Rock" fame.
    "(He's) mad like a fox," said Willis, at the New York premiere of "Cop Out" on Monday (February 22) at AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13.
    "He is just really smart. He is a smart, funny, young guy whose life is about to change."
    In "Cop Out", two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster.
    Jimmy (Willis) is the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, and Paul (Morgan) is his "partner-against-crime" whose preoccupation with his wife's alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball.
    Morgan wore a head-turning all-red Adidas tracksuit to the film's premiere, in homage to musical group Run DMC.
    "Cop Out" also stars Seann William Scott, of "American Pie" notoriety, who walked the red carpet with his mother, although later - and jokingly - argued with her after she granted a television crew an interview.
    The comedy opens in theatres across the United States on February 26.
