This'll be cool.

Bruce Willis, interviewed on the set of his new movie Perfect Stranger with Halle Berry, said he can't tell you what will come first: A sequel to 16 Blocks or a new Die Hard.

"They're both being written. We've to throw a few more 'old man' jokes in the Die Hard script, while we do that...we might bring Jack Mosley back".

He was asked whether it's true that Jessica Simpson auditioned for the role of his daughter in the Die Hard film. He laughed, saying, "Man, I don't know even know if that character is even in this version of the script anymore. I can honestly tell you that Bonnie Bedelia and Reginald VelJohnson, from the first films, are the only guys we've talked about bringing back. There has to be enough room in the scene for my walking cane". -comingsoon.net

Bruce is the man. I can't wait for another Die Hard... this sounds like it will be good. as long as jessica simpson isnt in it....

Hollywood actor Bruce Willis on Friday announced filmmakers are ready to start shooting a fourth Die Hard movie, and they hope to have it in cinemas next year. Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival in France, Willis - who stars as policeman John McClane in the Die Hard films - revealed the highly-anticipated sequel is expected to start filming soon.

He said, "We're as close as we've ever got to getting Die Hard 4 started. It won't be called Die Hard 4 but that will be the story. Hopefully it will be out next summer."

The movie's plot had to be rewritten after last year's Hurricane Katrina tragedy - the original screenplay involved an oil tanker explosion that sends huge waves flooding into New Orleans, Louisiana. -imdb.com

I really hope it doesn't flop. I'm sure it won't. I have much faith knowing that Bruce had previously read many other Die Hard 4 scripts and turned them away. He obviously didn't want to rush into another Die Hard film just to make big money from it. Come on!! I want to see critics everywhere saying: John McClane Back!! Not John McClame is Back!! (See what I did there...? McClane - McClame... it's been done before hasn't it? Oh well...

That must suck to have been one of those writers that toiled on a screenplay for the fourth installment of the Die Hard Series, just to have Bruce tell you "No."  I guess on the bright side it's Bruce Willis telling you no, instead of some production company's secretary.  

Same thing with the Indiana Jones 4 script.  M. Night Shaymalan's script was rejected for Christ's sake!  

Whoa! M Night Shyamalan did a script for Indiana Jones 4!!! And it was rejected!!! Huh? Where have I been? Has someone already started an Indiana Jones 4 thread?

Quoted from Parker Has someone already started an Indiana Jones 4 thread?

Yup and you can check it out here

Last time I heard, Doug Richardson was penning this one, Along side the actual screenwriter Mark Bomback. I love these films, the trilogy is great.

I am still left in the dark over who will pick up the directors credit for this one though. I know Bruce Willis is producing it along with John McTiernan and Arnold Rifkin.

I also read there was problems with the script, What does that mean? LOL!! Going into pre-production with script problems, wow that must have been a setback for them.

But still I am looking forward to this, my excite o meter is tilted already. And I'm dying to see who will play John McClane's daughter. At least we won't be seeing the peachy behind of Jessica Simpson. BLAH!!

I hope they get a good director for this, I don't think it wil be McTiernan cause he may be going to jail.

I heard Natalie Portman was going to be McClane's daughter.  Doesn't get much better than that.  

Natalie Portman, Niiiiiice....

I also heard that believe it or not JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE might be playing his son. I don't know if he got the part but Bruce was impressed with Justin's other films. Edison and another I believe.

Quoted from The boy who could fly I hope they get a good director for this, I don't think it wil be McTiernan cause he may be going to jail.

"Len Wiseman (Underworld: Evolution, Underworld) is in talks to direct Die Hard 4 for 20th Century Fox.

The trade says the fourth installment of the franchise finds hero John McClane coming out of retirement to battle an Internet terrorist organization. Bruce Willis will reprise his role as the fearless cop." -The Hollywood Reporter

I just read that over at http://www.latinoreview.com. The site has also reviewed an early draft of the script, which was penned by Mark Bomback and Doug Richardson. They gave it a 'B', which is good enough in my books!
