I wonder if this is the movie where McClane finally dies with a boner. Been waiting for that to happen since the first movie.

Me too, I really wish they would bring him back somehow. Die Hard 3 is by far my favorite.

It wasn't great just because of Sam Jackson though. Jeremy Irons and the director made it awesome too.

If they brought back Zeus this would still be shit.

Did Joel Silver produce that last one? Because that one was a piece of shit.

I watched it with my brother and we were entertained by how fucking stupid it was, but I was shocked by how bad of a movie it turned out to be. Nothing in it was even mildly believable or practical.

It's like they went out of their way to do a terrible job of writing it.

They filmed a good portion of the chopper shots around the corner from my office. Needless to say, watching that was far more entertaining than the actually movie the shots produced.

Director John Moore Says Not to Expect Corny Jokes in DIE HARD 5; Reveals A Car Chase Scene Took Them 78 Days to Shoot


John McClane will once again be having a very bad day when the fifth entry in the Die Hard franchise, A Good Day to Die Hard, hits theaters next March. The action moves to Moscow this time around, with Bruce Willis teaming up with his estranged son (played by Jai Courtney) to take on the baddies. 20th Century Fox CEO Tom Rothman previously talked a bit about the film’s story, revealing that the McClanes become “basically the most wanted men in the entire Soviet Union.”

Director John Moore has now talked a bit more about what to expect from his take on the series, adding that this iteration won’t have many corny jokes and revealing that they spent 78 days shooting an ambitious car chase sequence. Hit the jump for more.

The folks over at Empire asked Moore if we could expect a light-hearted tone from A Good Day to Die Hard, with McClane spouting lines like, “How can the same shit happen to the same guy five times?” Moore was quick to shoot this down:

“No, because that’s preposterous! I don’t know whether it’s post-financial crash or whatever, but I don’t think people are in the mood for that bollocks anymore. People are well savvy to the cynical reheating of any product, any franchise. Any shit won’t do. The bar’s a bit higher… There are a couple of great gags and a couple of great McClanisms. It’s not like he’s this idiot, bumbling around Moscow making ‘America won the Cold War’ jokes. It’s not Carry On Die Hard, I can assure you…”

Moore went on to reveal that Die Hard 5 has an international scope that’s highly ambitious, adding “There’s a car chase through Moscow that’s taking us 78 days to shoot.” So even though this is the fifth go-around with the character, it appears we’re in for the same hardened action we’ve come to expect from the Die Hard franchise. Hopefully we’ll see a trailer fairly soon, given that the film is set to open on February 14th, 2013.

Read the EMPIRE article today once I got the new mag.

Yeah. Fuck you, Moore. Good luck with SUPER SERIOUS PG 13/12A DIE HARD anyhow.

That picture is really weird, like if she has a very thin neck and a dislocated shoulder or something, looks wrong, but she is pretty so it gets a pass.

As fot the movie itself, Director of Max Payne? Im out.

The car chase takes 78 days to film because Moore is such a fuckup that he can't get any of it right. It's a toss up between Moore and Joe Johnston for the title of biggest hack in Hollywood.

Exec: Bruce, can you come in for an afternoon for promo shots?
Bruce: Fuck yourselves *hangs up*
Exec: Well, I guess we can just reuse some old promo shots, no one will notice, right?
Yes men: Right!

I hate it when movies introduce the main cast's successors. So stupid, I still hate Indiana Jones for that. Expecting the same for Die Hard 5: The Son of Die Hard.

C'mon man, I think Brett Ratner has this shit on LOCK

Bret Ratner at least made two somewhat enjoyable Rush Hour movies. I'm also a fan of After the Sunset, thanks mainly to the cast. I think if Ratner had gone nowhere near X-Men The Last stand, he wouldn't get near the hate he does now. And let's not act as if the direction was that movie's issues. It was the script and the boneheaded plot choice by Fox.

Compare that to Joe Johnston who single-handedly ruined Jurassic Park with his god awful sequel, somehow managed to fuck up the most basic monster story The Wolf Man, ruined what could have been a great story in Hidalgo with some of the most boring direction this side of Jon Favreau and half-assed an entire second half of Captain America. The only decent film he has ever made in his entire career was The Rockteer, and I'm convinced someone ghost directed that.

Then compare him to John Moore with masterpiece classics like Behind Enemy Lines, Flight of the Phoenix (which should have got him expelled from ever directing again) and Max Payne. The dude has a knack for making energetic action films that are the most boring things I've seen on film. And we're going to have Moore direct the next movie THE quintessential American action series? Bring back Len Wiseman!

Hopefully the villain will be as good as the Gruber family villains

There's no way anyone can follow the one-two punch of Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons. Both men are some of the best in their craft. At the very least you could make a serviceable villain with a decent actor and a competent director, of which this movie has neither.
