Die Hard 4
20th Century Fox has hired Mark Bomback to write Die Hard 4, which centers on the continuing adventures of rogue hero John McClane. Pending approval of the script, Bruce Willis would return in the role and produce through his Cheyenne Productions.
Bomback wrote the upcoming Godsend, starring Robert De Niro, for Lions Gate Films. The scribe also worked with Cheyenne on Reunion, The Tourist and Me Again.
Fox envisions the film as a tentpole that could resume the franchise.
Die Hard 4
Hey everyone! It's going to happen, finally! YEAH, BRUCE IS BACK! I love the first 3, the 3rd one being my absolute favourite!
The only downside of this, is that it is rumoured that Britney Spears will play his daughter! GAWD, I really hope not!
As I was going to St-Yves, I met a man with seven wives.
Every wife had seven sacks;
Every sack had seven cats;
Every cat had seven kittens;
Kittens, cats, sacks & wives...
How many were going to St-Yves?
They're makin another Die hard?
Yep, knew that! Bruce Willis has wanted to do it for some time now!
I think all three were good, the 3rd being my favourite!

More From Bruce on Die Hard 4.0

Empire Online caught up with Bruce Willis and tried to get more out of him regarding the Die Hard 4.0 script. "Doug Richardson, who wrote Hostage, took a shot at Die Hard 4.0 and it's a good idea. The script will be done by summer and they want to shoot it in the fall. McClane's retired, he's not a cop anymore," said Willis.
But we knew all that already, so the magazine asked for more. "It's completely different from the other three films. The only one of the other three films that I thought had any merit to it was the first one. Actually, in the third one I think Sam Jackson's work was really strong."
They asked what the significance was of the 'point-oh' in the title. "Well, it has something to do with computers..."
The original Die Hard a generic action movie...? Sure it might seem generic now,
Because of the copycats....! -one of the more notiable copycats BEING 'Speed'.... (All be it one of the better ones.) The only true Die-hard predecessor of note(Taking into account the factors of The 'trapped' element, the 'bodycount' element the 'not perfect but well, identifiable-with central character' and various other factors )has to be
'First Blood' or 'Lethal Weapon' IMHO (The latter sharing a lot in production admittedly including Micheal Kamen's soundtrack.....)
Surely you wouldn't say that Star wars for example was that generic when everything copied Star wars in the late 70s ('Battlestar Galactica' and 'Buck Rodgers' and 'Battle beyond the stars' etc).....?
And yes im aware of its 30's Buck Rodgers/Flash Gordon irony of it all.... But I would hope you know what I mean..... 😉
Oh well, I just hope that whatever they do that they make it soes at least not to murder the original sprit of the original Die Hard which for me was the great thing there....... By the way. Any serious fans should check out the original Walter Wager book of it as then you'll see a nastier grittier end and plot events and flow throughout that'll keep you gripped and give you extra and sometimes controvening views of who McClane was meant to be...... It's interesting stuff.....
This is bull crap! this is another classic example of Hollywood's greed. The truth behind this is that Willis really didn't want to make another Die Hard film he was content with it just being a trilogy and a good trilogy at that one of the few good trilogies out there IMO and one that really finished strong with the third installment but I read awhile back that what happened was that the FOX execs basically blackmailed him in to doing this.
A while back I remember reading there was a film he was trying to get made and nobody really wanted to touch it. He couldn't get any backing at all for it, I'm pretty sure it was 'Tears of the Sun'. So the studio execs finally found a way of blackmailing him into doing it.
The title of this movie was the subtitle for a Die Hard 4 project the studio was making. The project needed work and 'Bruce Willis' told the studio he would commit to Die Hard 4 if he could use the title for this movie.
So you see, he was really forced into it, what a bunch of crap, they're gonna ruin a perfectly good trilogy, dammit man, will they ever stop!....arggggg...😠

No, he really didn't want to do it.
I enjoyed the trilogy as well, it's one of my favorites and the 3rd one was my favorite as well. I don't understand how a few people think part 3 sucked, how can you go wrong with a cast like that, Jeremy Irons, Sam Jackson and Bruce Willis and they all gave strong performances, I mean c'mon.
Oh and for those that haven't figured that little riddle out by now the answer is
Spoiler:. 😛

Sam Jackson: No wait...I forgot about the man.
Bruce Willis: What man? f**k the man we got 10 seconds left!
hehe.... 😄
