Bruce Willis Says Fifth 'Die Hard' Won't Be The Last
There was a time when 20th Century Fox doubted their ability to make even one sequel to their 1988 smash hit 'Die Hard.' That's a hard notion to contemplate as we're about to see the release of the fifth film in the franchise, 'A Good Day to Die Hard.' Surely however, with the advancing age of its star Bruce Willis and the limited elasticity of its core concept, 'A Good Day to Die Hard' would be the last of the series, right? According to Willis himself, however, John McClane has not seen his last unlucky day. When asked during a recent interview whether audiences would see a 'Die Hard 6,' Willis replied simply and assuredly, "yes." As of this posting, the studio has neither confirmed nor denied Willis' claim.
This is a frustrating situation. On the one hand, I'm a huge fan of 'Die Hard' and 'Die Hard with a Vengeance,' and I even harbor a certain affinity for 'Die Hard 2.' I thoroughly loathed 'Live Free or Die Hard' because it felt like a generic action film that just happened to have McClane in it rather than an actual 'Die Hard' movie. The villain was basically a cyber bully from the Best Buy Geek Squad, and John was suddenly a superhero completely distant from the from the average Joe he once was; the character to whom we were once able to relate. The advertisements for 'A Good Day to Die Hard' are not instilling much confidence that it will be a step back in the right direction. So why jump the gun, as well as potentially the shark, and put another one in the works? They've already brought in his daughter, and now his son. What's next? Bringing Holly back? Is that really enough of a hook to justify hashing out another tired sequel? Do we want McClane to continue to be parody of himself? I guess what I'm saying is that it is long past time for this franchise to die.
What do you guys think? Would you be interested in a sixth 'Die Hard?' What do you envision it would be about?

It should have stopped after the thrid. You explained exactly why in the second paragraph. I agree with everything you've said. Who would have thought that the 10s was the "comeback" of the 80s stars: Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Willis.

JPain, while I find Live Free is overly maligned, whatever is off about it that isn't it.
Die Hard was written as an adaption of a novel called "Nothing Lasts Forever" and a sequel to the film "The Detective" starring Frank Sinatra. It was also considered as a Commando sequel.
Die Hard 2 was based on a book totally unrelated to "Nothing Lasts Forever" called "58 Minutes" and was reworked again.
Die Hard 3 was a totally unrelated action movie called "Simon Says" and was considered for a Lethal Weapon sequel.
And, yes, Live Free was written, again, as an original action movie and reworked.

The reason Live Free or Die Hard felt so off was the original script was not a Die Hard movie at all. It was a script soley about a fire sale centering arround the Justin Long character, and was getting passed around Hollywood as an interesting idea that just wasn't marketable. When they got Bruce Willis on board for the fourth Die Hard, Fox picked up that script on the cheap, and did a re-write to insert John McLane. Whoever did that re-write clearly didn't understand that character. We all saw the results....

Live Free or Die Hard was pretty awesome. I don't know why so many people hate it so much. I like the idea of an old-fashioned cop going against a cyber terrorist. A Good Day To Die Hard looks pretty fun, but the father-son concept isn't too appealing to me.
People need to accept that Hollywood milks titties until there is no more milk to get. For the last decade, we've seen hundreds of remakes, fourth installments, and 3D Re-releases. Some of them suck extremely bad, while others are just good ol' popcorn fun. Die Hard is just popcorn fun. It's a good time seeing Die Hard with a group of friends and seeing Bruce Willis scream Yippy Kay Kay. Just live with it.

Why can't Hollywood just leave old 80's and 90's movies alone?

I quite liked the last die hard movie. I've always seen the movies as 'ahhh shit I'm off duty now I have to deal with this asshole'. I'll admit the cyber bully was a little too much but there were some great scenes and I remember when it came out I was a teenager and everyone was talking about how fucking cool it was. Also it was a push to remind people that Johns old school. Technology did baffle a lot of 45+ year old people, especially when the film came out.
People say he's in no real danger because he's John Mclane but the same can be said for Bond, Mission Impossible, Taken, Rambo, Any superhero film.... Even in TDKR I knew he was alive because they made it fucking obvious that the autopilot wasn't working and whilst sat in the film I just kept thinking, why even point that out unless it's a plot changer where Batmans supposed to die? Maybe it's just helping the slow minded keep up and respond 'Oh hell no he did-in-t'.You can also pick on Bruces age, but for an old guy he's probably in better shape than most Spillios and I wouldn't want to fuck with him.
You're just supposed to throw out what's logical and enjoy the film.

Dear spill crew, if you thought Life Free or Die Hard was a generic action film only with Bruce Willis in it, you will not be impressed by 'A Good Day to Die Hard'. John Moore has officially ruined Die Hard.

I dont think anyone thought that this would be the last Die Hard.
They already raped the franchise, why not keep going?
