Epic Reine Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztfShRH5YYw I remember when they mentioned a Die Hard 4 movie back in 2003 and I was thinking no way, then they shelved it, then they apparently brought it back and it's coming out July 4th. It honestly doesn't look too bad but still, uneccessary. Most likley will be rated PG-13 as well which kills off any hardcore DH fans. I'm also upset that they didn't wind up calling it "Die Hardest".
The Amazing Rando Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Well, there's the big competition for Transformers. Gotta love the huge wreck where the two cars "catch" the third flying one to save the people just below it. That's like, the Canadian Destroyer of Movie Stunts.
Lord of The Curry Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 It should've been called Die Hard 4: Deadest
Lil' Bitch Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 What's up with all these actors making sequels to movies they should have done like 10 or 20 years ago? First Arnold with Terminator 3, Sharon Stone with Basic Instinct 2, then Stallone with Rocky 6, now Bruce Willis with Die Hard 4 and coming soon Harrison Ford with the fourth Indiana Jones movie?!! Edit: I love Bruce Willis, but IMO he's going to get his ass kicked by robots that weekend.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Next is Henry Thomas with ET 2.
2GOLD Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Last I heard, Indy 4 was basically dead in the water thanks to Lucas. And wow, that looks eh at best.
cabbageboy Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 Why would there be a PG-13 rated Die Hard? It's not like the previous 3 had such a problem drawing money.
Big McLargeHuge Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 I agree, it doesn't look too bad. Looks more like a generic action movie with the Die Hard name slapped on it, but so did With a Vengeance, and I liked that one. And there's only so many times I can believe John McClane is "going to be in the wrong place, at the right time" or is right place/wrong time, I forget. I can forgive that. I'll be there, but yes, Transformers takes priority.
NoCalMike Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 It's only a teaser, so technically I can't get too annoyed, but honestly, if you hadn't told me it was a trailer for Die Hard 4, I would have figured this was another generic action flick that happened to star Bruce Willis. Die Hard set a standard. The two sequels weren't as good but at least they kept the Die Hard forumla, the reluctant hero, thrown into situations he would not have chosen to be in. Throw in some comedic relief, usually of the sarcastic nature and BLAM-O.....you have the Die Hard series.
muzz Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 I liked Vengeance just as much as the first, but a lot of that has to do with Jeremy Irons. As long as there's a decent villain, I'll give it a go.
In Credible Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 Yippee Kayay Motherfucker! I love the Die Hard movies (DH, DH:WAV, DH2 in order of favorites). I even liked the Die Hard Arcade game and Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza game that came out from Sierra (that nobody really knew about).
Ravenbomb Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 I don't like the title. It seems more like a (lame) tagline than the title for a movie
Boon Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 As long as it's set in my home state, I'll go.

Throw in some comedic relief, usually of the sarcastic nature and BLAM-O.....you have the Die Hard series. Yeah, I agree. It could just as well be a sequel to any of Willis' movies. I still can't wait to see it though.
AndrewTS Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 Let's forget for one moment that it's a sequel well-past its sell-by date, and take a look at the sparkling resume of the new director. Director - filmography (In Production) (2000s) Untitled Underworld Prequel (2009) (announced) Live Free or Die Hard (2007) (filming) Underworld: Evolution (2006) Underworld (2003) ... aka Underworld (Germany) Filmography as: Director, Art Department, Writer, Producer, Self Art Department - filmography Godzilla (1998) (props) Men in Black (1997) (props assistant) (uncredited) ... aka MIB (USA: promotional abbreviation) Independence Day (1996) (assistant props) ... aka ID4 (USA: promotional abbreviation) Stargate (1994) (property assistant) ... aka Stargate, la porte des étoiles (France)
Wyld Cannon Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 Wasn't Tears of the Sun originally a Die Hard movie but got changed into whatever that was? I would have preferred Get Rich or Die Hard Trying as a title. Or It's a Die Hard Knock Life. and I don't even like rap music.
Black Lushus Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 they were going to call Die Hard 3 "Tears of the Sun" but changed their minds...Bruce Willis liked the title and thought that's what they should name his untitled military action movie...a fine movie, by the way.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 I agree, it doesn't look too bad. Looks more like a generic action movie with the Die Hard name slapped on it, but so did With a Vengeance, and I liked that one. Yep, and Vengeance was a generic action movie that was then rewritten to have the protagonist be John McClane and the villain be connected to the Die Hard story. All this chatter reminds me that it's almost Christmas, and about time to watch the original for the 20th or so time.
Sideburnious Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 Don't forget to mark out for that great scene where Alan Rickman slides out of the office, shooting wildly into the air.
bobobrazil1984 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 i think the action movie elements need some sort of gimmick to be a real Die Hard movie. Trapped in a building, an airport, the trick-scavenger-hunt thing around the city. the other thing is needs is John McClaine's white undershirt/tanktop that gets dirtier and bloodier as the movie goes on.
luke-o Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 Why cant Hollywood just leave some franchises to rest. Knock it off already.
The Niggardly King Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 This essentially looks like Mercury Rising 2, but Justin Long is the now not so autistic sidekick to Bruno.
Betty Houle Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 OK, I finally saw the trailer and I will see this flick but... Little disappointed by the lack of any one-liners in the trailer!
Ripper Posted April 13, 2007 Report Posted April 13, 2007 Let's forget for one moment that it's a sequel well-past its sell-by date, and take a look at the sparkling resume of the new director.

Seriously...fuck those movies. But yeah, I will definately see this because...well... Bruce Willis does great action flicks. There is just no denying it.
Failed Bridge Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 they were going to call Die Hard 3 "Tears of the Sun" but changed their minds...Bruce Willis liked the title and thought that's what they should name his untitled military action movie...a fine movie, by the way. You're close on that, and the only reason I know the full reasoning behind this is because I recentely watched Tears of the Sun on FX with their DVD on TV thing. This new Die Hard was suppose to be called Die Hard: Tears of the Son, but in order to get Bruce to sign off on doing the film they had to let him take that title and use it for the movie BL just mentioned, with of course Son being changed to Sun.
In Credible Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 That trailer looks awesome. The main difference between regular Bruce Willis action hero and John McClane is the trash talking.
In Credible Posted April 27, 2007 Report Posted April 27, 2007 Does anyone know where I can download the script for this movie?
Black Lushus Posted April 27, 2007 Report Posted April 27, 2007 But yeah, I will definately see this because...well... Bruce Willis does great action flicks. There is just no denying it. oh no doubt, Rip...I think I own more of his movies than any other single star in my DVD collection. Unfortunantly, it comes out the same day as Transformers, which gets the ace over Die Hard.
DrVenkman PhD Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 When I was in NYC I noticed some viral marketing (I guess that's the term now that I understand it's not about computer videos with viri in them) for the movie that was pretty amusing. They were speech balloon stickers that said "Yippie Ki Yay M" and then half of an "o". These were stuck all over the garbage can and Subway poster ads for other movies and things, I thought it was funny. It's also listed as being quote "John 6:27".
