theres not much info on this except for the title and that production begins next month... Willis gets one more chance to Yippee Kai Yay some hackerz Reuters Link
I hope the bad guys are from a country other than an European one this time. Why can only Harrison Ford fight South American guys? We in Mexico have good h4x0rs, too! "Yippee Kaye, pinches!" - John Mclane
They should have a Die Hard where McClaine works with Jack Bauer to defeat the terrorist. That would be cool.
I love the Die Hard films...but how Die Hard-esque can this sequel be with a story centered around computer infrastructure. Instead of militants, mercernaries and terrorists Mclane's fighting cyber geeks. I can the blood bath now
Not sure where I read this but I think McLane's son plays a big part in the movie. He is a hacker that gets busted and the government enlists his help to defeat the cyber terrorists. That's how McLane senior gets involved.
That was the original story, but they actually changed that character from being his son to just some hacker w/ no relation. I liked that movie, especially considering I think Justin Timberlake was at one time being considered for the role of his son.
The director, Len Wiseman, is the one who's married to Kate Beckinsdale. My understanding is that he went to high school in Richardson, Texas, but I don't know if that is accurate.
there are two main reasons i can think of. the first is money. the second is money. and then there's the whole money angle you have to consider.
Yuck. I hate it when mainstream movies try the whole cyber terror angle in most cases. They usually dumb down the technology way too much OR they make things ultra unrealistic. Also, what the heck is the deal with every computer in every movie making little beeping or buzzing noises when something is happening on the computer screen? What real computer does that? While I'm typing this post, there aren't little bleeps everytime a letter appears on screen. If I close the window, a little swooshing noise won't sound. But those high end government computers will. I just want to see Bruce Willis shooting and beating up bad guys, while getting the snot kicked out of him too, until we have a final climactic one-liner from Willis before he makes the main bad guy blow up or fall or explode, or get sucked out of a plane or whatever.
This is excellent news!! I hope they don't mess this one up.. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure the cybergeeks will have militants, mercenaries and terrorists as their bosses/underlings/vengeful brothers etc. More than enough ass for McClane to kick
heres an interesting tidbit...(from what I remember) Die Hard With A Vengeance was originally written as an entirely different screenplay... It was called "Simon Says" and the producers adapted the story to fit around the Die Hard franchise... it focused on the villain, Simon, and they just wrote in John McLane as the hero and Zeus was originally written as a female character... they made "Simon" the brother of the Hans Gruber villain in the first Die Hard, and voila, you've got a trilogy!
