The Robocop reboot/remake got me thinking of the last Die Hard movie, which I never saw because it looked terrible. I did, sadly, see Live Free or Die Hard, and avoided that mistake with the newer one. But it got me thinking and I looked up Bruce Willis' IMDB page, and there's nothing about a new Die Hard movie, and then I went to BOM to see budgets and grosses, and A Good Day to Die Hard didn't do well domestically, but I guess it did ok worldwide (for domestics, it's usually 2-2.5x its budget to be in the green; what's it for worldwide releases?).

Anyway, is this series finally done and over? Either way, what would you want in another entry? My bright idea was to have McClane finally old/retired, and he's basically a security guard in a financial building, and they basically remake the first movie with old Bruce Willis. Basically, a "keep it simple, stupid" sequel that avoids the ridiculous bloat of 3, 4, and, I assume, 5.

Viral marketing for Die Hard Dead?

 

[Dram]

Why not just do a remake with his son as the main character? Bruce Willis doesn't seem like he enjoys acting anymore.

What's 21 out of 42?

John McTiernan gets out of prison in April. Let him make one more and end it.

What's 21 out of 42?

CHESTER A ARTHUR!!!!

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Haven't seen the 5th, but I hope it's dead. Bruce wants to do another one though last I heard.

 

[Professor Lich]

I guess it died, hard.

doesn't seem to be the case we have one more coming in 2015.
God help us.

 

[Rodney McKay]

I hope so. I had a bit of dumb fun with 4, but 5 was complete garbage.

"I'm on vacation!"

 

[biosnake20]

Just like Bruce Willis' career.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Live Free or Die Hard is enjoyable, made money, and rated well (if you care about that kind of thing). Good Day to Die Hard seems to exist because the director wanted a long, drawn out car chase in Russia. Bruce gives NO FUCKS while acting it it. The man just doesn't care other than for getting a paycheck in this, another "Die Hard" movie. It put me to sleep because it was completely uninteresting and didn't even make the father/son angle worthy of even being a plot point.

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

You can only die hard so many times before it's game over and you have to start all over again. Die Hard Reborn starring Zac Efron and Shia Laboofs.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

What's 21 out of 42?

"21 again."

Is the correct answer.

Oh my god, this is a real thing....

The sixth and possibly the final film in the franchise, and confirmed to be the final film in the series that will have Bruce Willis portraying John McClane. So far, it has been revealed that John McClane will be traveling to Tokyo, courtesy of Nakatomi, to celebrate the thirty year anniversary of the Nakatomi Hostage Crisis in L.A., and there are hints that characters from other films in the series, including Holly Gennero and Al Powell, may make appearances.

 

[Laughing Banana]

Enjoyed 1, greatly enjoyed 2, very enjoyed 3, rather enjoyed 4, meh on 5.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Oh my god, this is a real thing....

mctiernan NEEDS to come back.

 

[Camp Lo]

CHESTER A ARTHUR!!!!

LOL

One is just "enjoyed"? ONE IS JUST "ENJOYED"???????

 

[speculawyer]

We can only hope.

 

[chubigans]

Oh my god, this is a real thing....

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[potam]

It died after #3. There were no more movies made after that. Ever.

 

[Shalashaska161]

5 was awful. Even Bruce Willis seemed bored. If no one involved isn't going to put any effort in, I hope it is dead.

 

[Jason Frost]

Did not Bruce Willis say that he will retire after Die Hard 6?

 

[ZeroGravity]

It was pretty much dead after the third one. After that it was just Bruce Willis playing Bruce Willis.

My thoughts exactly. Live Free at least had a Die Hard feel. Good Day was a Bad Two Hours.

 

[Sean]

I have no hopes for Die Hard ever being good again, Bruce Willis just doesn't seem to give a shit anymore.

After the drama with The Expendables 3 (turning down a $3 million salary for just four days of work cause he demanded $1m per day), I lost a lot of respect for him.

 

[BBboy20]

DICE making a Die Hard game would be a way of keeping the series going but it's quite apparent nobody at EA is going use the Frostbite engine for that or even make a Hong Kong Heroic Bloodshed one.

 

[raebodep]

Yeah, I don't know what other people are talking about.

 

[DrFunk]

Die Hard 4 & 5? What do you mean?

Only 3 Die Hard movies exist

 

[King Mystery]

I've always wanted to see a line-for-line remake of the first movie using the exact same actors at the ages they're at now.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

I'm guilty of having see the latest one, while McClane was "just on vacation."

Jesus christ, I wish I could deny it existing. And I was forced to watch it before watching Oblivion. I mean, talk about a huge transition from fucking awful to something good. One of the worst action movies I've ever seen.

 

[TheJLC]

That last one was horrible. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Can't Die Hard Enough was coming soon.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Apparently Mcclane will be solo for the sixth, but Sam Jackson will have a small role.

Yeah I still refuse to watch the newest one. Love Diehard so much (and 3 and 2 are pretty great too, 3 more so than 2) that I don't want 5 ruining the series at all. 4 was actually better than I expected, but I've just heard too many terrible things about 5.

Die Hard with Avengerance

 

[Massive Nights]

Why not just do a remake with his son as the main character? Bruce Willis doesn't seem like he enjoys acting anymore.

Because Jai Courtney has the on screen charisma of a sack of potatoes, I can't think of a more bland, generic actor. In fact, the only reason I know his name is because someone pointed out to me that he wasn't actually Sam Worthington, how those two actors get work is beyond me.

 

[Jason Frost]

On the 30th anniversary of the Nakotomi Hostage Crisis, retired New York City Police detective John McClane is invited to Tokyo by the Nakatomi Corporation to be commended for his bravery and efforts in saving 36 lives. Accompanied by Zeus Carver, the pair soon discover a vengeance from the past and that Nakatomi is not all that it appears to be.

Well, I'm ok with this.

Die Hard Walking

 

[120v]

they'll eke out at least one more (with bruce willis) i'm sure

the last one was god awful on so many levels. even as a 'turn your brain off' action movie it made no sense

 

[Bishop89]

John McTiernan gets out of prison in April. Let him make one more and end it.

Is this true?

I hope he gets the chance to make more action movies, he is probably the best in that regard.

 

[JimmyRustler]

For me it is. Die Hard 5 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I was just horrible in every way. I can't believe someone in Hollywood actually green lit that shit. So many people with great writing skills are trying to get into the movie and this is all they can get, really?

 

[Tesseract]

Die Hard Walking

i'd watch it.

 

[To Far Away Times]

The last Die Hard movie was terrible.

Bring back Alan Rickman as a zombie and I'll watch it.

Hopefully Bruce will make another drugged up appearance on the One Show before this one as well.
