Back in 1988, Die Hard was a big deal. It promised to be bigger, louder and generally all up in our faces more than any action movie ever created. It’s tag lined told us that it would “blow you through the back wall of the theater.” And blow it did. (There’s got to be a better way to say that). Until then, Bruce Willis was the loveable guy from 'Moonlighting,' not the hardened John McClane with marital problems. Of course, there have been several sub-par sequels and the latest Live Free or Die Hard is shaping out to be the weakest with a PG-13 rating.
Nevertheless, the money machine that is Hollywood only knows financial failure. So there’s no surprise that a fifth Die Hard is a possibility.
“I told them I'd only do it if Len [Wiseman] was involved and Maggie Q and Justin [Long], of course. It's been since '95, so 12 years, and 21 years is the span of all four of ‘em. So, you can see me when I'm 31 and you can see me when I'm 52. So you guys will decide,” Bruce Willis told IESB.net.
We aren’t quite sure what Willis is referring to with the numbers game. All we know is we want to see Die Hard not Die Not So Hard. Give us a film where McClane’s gets to kick ass, and we’ll give you the go ahead for a fifth. If not, you can title it Just Die Already.
