I think it's time we had a thread for this as it's pretty much inevitable that it will happen.

Fox dredges the UNDERWORLD for their director on DIE HARD 4.0!
Hey folks, Harry here... Fox, in an attempt to always find a better director than the last time out, has gone from John McTiernan to Len Wiseman, director of the UNDERWORLD films for their next installment of DIE HARD... which is apparently being called DIE HARD 4.0, where John McClane comes out of retirement to fight a gang of viscious Internet Terrorists! I'm sure they're not talking about John McClane fighting a group of geeks that have been doing person-2-person dvd burning or downloading of films currently in theaters... or... maybe they are. After all, Fox has ALIENS VS PREDATORS in a fucking Walmart... don't they? I remember reading that somewhere... oh yeah, Moriarty wrote that. Hmmmm...

Im already pissed off

I reckon McTiernan should have come back for one more, Die hard with a Vengence was a fantastic film. With the wrong director onboard this could be bad.

by **papalazeru** on Wed May 31, 2006 5:13 am

Wiseman wouldnt be a bad choice.

Story wise(man), Underworld wasnt that bad, it was just a little bit poo on Direction, at least the sequel was worse.

Bring in the Whedon.

I'll go with bringing Tiernon back for another round. Good job on 1 & 3 so a last fourth could be very good.

by **doglips** on Wed May 31, 2006 5:15 am

They should just leave it at 3 IMO.

by **RogueScribner** on Wed May 31, 2006 5:18 am

There was no need for sequels to Die Hard, but at least the third one tried something new and was fun overall. Do we really need a #4?

by **Proinsias** on Wed May 31, 2006 5:33 am

Hmmmm. I can only see this panning out badly.. 1, 2 and 3 were fantastic...dont really want anymore... Maybe Len will cast Bill Nighy as the villain, that would be exciting.

by **papalazeru** on Wed May 31, 2006 5:36 am

So long as Kate gets to wear leather then Im sure Bill with star alongside Bruce as arch enemies.

by **Flumm** on Wed May 31, 2006 5:42 am

This just ain't natural I tells ya.

Sigh, I miss MITB and Angent Alonzo at times like these. I guess sometimes things just need a little helping hand to get them in the going in their rightfull directions.

I guess I'll start you off...

Die Hard 4: Still Dying

by **RogueScribner** on Wed May 31, 2006 5:43 am

I will only watch another sequel if Alan Rickman is in it. I don't care if it makes sense that he's in it, but if he is, I'm there!

by **TonyWilson** on Wed May 31, 2006 5:45 am

When you think about it, isn't Die Hard a really crappy title, I meand Die, hard??? It means nothing. And McClane never dies.

Ah well.
And I always thought they should set the 4th one in a huge labyrinthine shopping mall. That would be cool.

Its not a crappy title, its powerful, everytime i say it for some reason I have to grit me teeth really hard.

And a shopping mall would be quite a cool idea, or a luxury cruise liner.

It apparently "revolves around computers" according to most reports. How wonderful.

Die Hard: Please just let me be
Die Hard: I've done my bit.

If its to do with computers....

Die Hard: Tron

Maybe if the film has to do with clowns using computers.....

Die hard: Die Har-dy-har-der

Maybe all the bad guys are dressed as Shakespere, Marlowe, Johnson and Chaucer....

Die Bard with a vengeance

FFFFFFAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually the story to this film sounds crappy. This film is sounding bad already. Remember when it was gonna be about McClane battling bad guy drug smugglers in the Amazon Jungle? Then it got turned into Tears of the Sun.

by **ThisIsTheGirl** on Wed May 31, 2006 8:14 am

I'd love it if they'd gone with McTiernan too - but I guess he's kinda busy right now with Crash Bandits (which sounds pretty cool, IMO)

Anyhoo:

Proinsias wrote:1, 2 and 3 were fantastic...

Something should be missing from that statement, not quite sure what.

Oh, I know - it's the number 2 (Die Hard 2 was a "number two" in more ways than one!)

by **Cpt Kirks 2pay** on Wed May 31, 2006 8:17 am

Die Hard 2 was the best 'action' picture of the lot, and one of the best 'action' films of it's era. It had the most outrageous and imaginitve action scenes and it even took on a slight sci-fi feel to it. However without a doubt it was the worst actual film of the lot. Crappy dialogue, cheesy acting, lack of real involvement or suspense. I still dig it though.

Ummm....but Wiseman WAS the Director...so if you thought the direction was lacking....ummm....

I'm a fan of Whedon....but the "secret language of Joss" (as Marti Noxon calls it) has no place in this film.

"What's up Mclane.....are you angry?"

"Meh.....not so much....."

or

"Or you going to kill me John?"

"I really, really am..."

by **Doc Holliday** on Wed May 31, 2006 8:22 am

POSSIBLE SPOILER (look away look away)

not so long ago, I read on the AICN main board a report that said Willis would only agree to do a 4th if Mclane dies at the end. If he stands by this then the fourth one has the potential to be the best of the bunch....and I mean that for all the right reasons, not in a "Kill him I think he's shit" kinda way....

I think it should be set in CHUD's HQ if its going to be computer based. IMPORTANT: Nobody survives. Nobody.... :wink:

that was kinda the joke there Doc, Cruise Control was the name of Speed 2, way to go "Mr Ruin The Joke"

I go with that, but the choice of director doesn't exactly thrill me.
If not McTiernan, why not Milius?
Die Hard is nothing if not a testosterone fest, and Miluis certainly is a meat eater.

No but seriously, Die Hard 4 will be proper sweet. The first one is part of the Holy Trinity of 80's action films (with Robocop and Aliens), the other two weren't half bad films either.

Cant't wait.

My thanks Vicar. I can see it now, Mclaine is a one man show, deep in shit somewhere causing who knows what kind of trouble trying to foil international criminals he's stumbled across. His literally explosive antics incur investigation by none other than Riggs and Murtaugh. But, who's the terrorist amongst all this carnage? You see, they are on the same side but pitted against each other. And, get this, they never meet, except in a brief encounter at the start of the tale where they all buy their Christmas t.v guide from the same shop. Now if only I could fit Keanu into all this...

Hmmm...

"Speed. Lethal Weapon? Die Hard!" Hmmm, sounds like a sex comedy...

Screw the sex comedy - I think folding Die Hard into Lethal Weapon could be a monster. Seriously. Talk about some voltage up the ass for two franchises.... McClane, Riggs & Murtaugh in the same flick?
Hell yes I'd pay to see that!

Gotta say, I'd even plump for a geriatric road movie with those three guys taking a road trip together and reminiscing about the good old days, replete with flashbacks. Just think of the banter Riggs and McClane would have about their differing hair styles alone. And, I'm sure "trouble would find them"(tm).
