I was playing along.

But, seriously, do not see the appeal of the thigh gap.

Why So Blu?

It depends on the girl. Usually the tall ones look better with that, like the Uma Thurman types, but if they're regular sized, they usually cannot have them unless they lose a lot of weight. And then they look weird.

RocShemp

If it's her natural body type, I get it. Not something I look for but in that case it makes sense for a girl to have it. But if you have to literally starve to get it, yuck.

Why So Blu?

Agreed,

Back in development.

Len Wiseman and Lorenzo di Bonaventura are overseeing it. Looking for a new screenwriter.

Supposedly they want to make this a prequel with a young McClane and also keep Willis in the mix as well.

Mabuse

That sounds like the worst fucking idea I've ever heard. No thanks.

Hokeyboy

Len Wiseman

Prequel movie

NO WAY this could be any good whatsoever.

GoldenJCJ

I have absolutely ZERO faith in a Die Hard prequel. However, a French Connection/Serpico style 1970s film with John McClane could be cool.

Of course they'll have to re-edit part 2 so McClane says, "How can the same shit happen to the same guy three times!"

Mike86

Not sure how a prequel would work with Willis involved. Honestly it's best to just scrap the series at this point.

JumpCutz

If only Rob Cohen was somehow involved...

Brack

I would like to believe that while John McClane was always up for the task of the events in Die Hard, he hadn't been in any situation that was that intense, so a prequel seems kind of stupid. That's unless there's a cybernetic organism sent from the future to kill John McClane.

Mike86

Yeah agreed. In the original film it's likely that McClane was never in a situation like that before so making a prequel that would presumably put him in a similar situation would be dumb. Granted the sequels kind of ruined the everyday man in an extraordinary situation idea of the first film anyways so I guess in some ways it doesn't matter.

Drexl

Maybe they could do one about the FBI agents in fuckin' Saigon.

GoldenJCJ

I was in junior high, dickhead.


Maybe in the prequel we get to see Powell accidentally shoot the little kid.

John McClane in his younger days = Fail
Bruce Willis really not playing McClane in the next movie = Fail
Len Wiseman Directing = Fail

If they go along with this then its gonna be a mess. The last movie was truly one of the worst movies i have seen in the last decade. I was bored to tears by it, and thats something that should never happen with a Die Hard movie. They turned an everyman into an indestructible killing machine and in doing so took away everything that made the character great in the first movie.

I think the best thing for this is to try doing something a little similar to Die Hard with A Vengeance. There they tried placing the character into a different kind of situation (it still ended up being a heist), and it made it more interesting. Forget just plunking McClane in a different city and using that as the ploy to sell the movie. How about McClane goes after a serial killer (but not something like Striking Distance....please), anything that tries to inject some life into this series.

stingermck

I thought there was a script or idea floating around of an older, broken and tired McClane attending an anniversary of the Nakatomi incident and terrorist attack again. That is a movie I would like to see. Scale it down like the original and have 1 final film.

dex14

Yea... that was the rumor. And not a bad idea. Maybe they'll still use that and parallel the two... but that is doubtful.

rocket1312

I get that they're going to keep pumping these things out until they stop making money, but is anyone else like me sitting around and waiting for Bruce Willis to make something great? I always thought Willis was talented enough to do really good work, but he seems to be content just doing one half-assed action movie after another. I guess I just figured at some point he would get a chance in something a little bit meatier. I thought he was really good in Moonrise Kingdom, but that's about the only thing he's done outside of generic action crap in at least a decade. He's even slumming it with the likes of John Cusack in DTV stuff. Sorry for the digression, but am I just really overrating his acting ability? Is this as good as it gets for Willis these days?

dex14

When Willis wants to make quality stuff, he does. But more often than not lately it is all about the paycheck.

Why So Blu?

I thought Die Hard 1 was McClane in his younger days?

WTF?!?!

Brack

He seems to be able to deliver good performances even if the movies he stars in suck or are just mindless entertainment. I'd argue he did a great job with Looper, though it's not exactly award-worthy I suppose. He was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe for In Country, but that came out in 1989 (I've never seen and vaguely remember it existing). But he's fully capable of getting with the right writers, directors, etc. and do something great, but he just doesn't seem that interested in doing so. Same with Cusack for that matter.

Brack

Nah, this was:

HN

i like to think of Moonlighting as the prequel. Die Hard 1 was awesome because you had no idea bruce willis could pull off that kind of action at the time. regular detective mcclane becomes the badass throughout that movie and not anytime before.

motherfucker was even nervous about flying at the beginning!

Brack

Which reminds me...why didn't they ever bring back Businessman (Robert Lesser):



I know it was just indirectly his fault for McClane never having shoes on, but it would still be funny to see Willis repeat "Make fists with your shoes...Here's your fist!" *punch* during a stressful moment in a sequel. But that should've been done in Die Hard 2 when people still had that moment from the first movie fresh in their minds.
