Bruce Willis has been chatting to MTV at Comic-Con (he has both The Expendables and Red there) and he claims that production on Die Hard 5 is “imminent”. Oh dear.
Surely I’m not alone in thinking it’s time to put this franchise to bed? Live Free or Die Hard was for me, a tired-looking action film, which bore little resemblance to the previous films in the series and didn’t do anything to really distinguish itself as a fun, stand-alone flick (I mean, they introduced this supposed iconic character by having him hiding in the back seat of his daughter’s boyfriend’s car, for god sake!)
Willis does mention, however, that he would be up for doing an Unbreakable sequel. This seems to me like the logical choice over another Die Hard. His character in Unbreakable has at least a potentially interesting arc for the audience to follow. What could you with McClane again except have him shot the bad guys and deliver to same old quips.
What are your thoughts?
