A Good Day To Die Hard....

[Minker17]

Like an ordinary man who finds himself in unthinkable situation again and again and again and then again with Justin Long for some reason, half the fun of a new Die Hard is seeing how the words “Die Hard” will be awkwardly thrust into each successive title of the action franchise, where it will once more be forced to battle an all-new threat of evil, meaningless modifiers for coherence. And apparently, February 14, 2013 will be A Good Day To Die Hard—and not only because it’s Valentine’s Day, and instead of canoodling with someone who loves you, you’re going to see a superannuated Bruce Willis cheat death in his fourth straight decade. It’s also because, as recently revealed by Fox CEO Tom Rothman, that’s the title of the John Moore-directed sequel, which finds Willis’ John McClane traveling to Russia to rescue his son, John McClane Jr., then getting entangled in yet another high-octane adventure in a place where “nothing is as it seems.” Rothman didn’t offer any further details, but most likely he’s referring to how Russia seems like a big country, but really, it’s no match for one sarcastic New York cop who’s feeling kinda grumpy today.

I'll see it!

I'll see it!

The last Die Hard was just so horrible. Number 3 was over the top yet still good yet the last one went too far over the top. Really soured the "Die Hard" franchise for me in some senses. Will probably wait for the reviews.

[EK20]

I'll give it a shot, but not in the theater, unless it looks better then it sounds.

At least it had some eye candy with Maggie Q

Yeah. I confess that I actually own the Live Free or Die Hard DVD. I have watched it once.

RED was actually pretty good. If it's done properly, an ancient Bruce Willis can still do a watchable movie.

The impression I got from Red from watching trailers is that they want you to know it's over the top and if they do that then it's ok in my mind. Like putting Saleen rims on a GT. As long as you don't put on the badges it's ok.

I disagree with them all around. I liked Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 2: Die Harder is the worst, imo), and I like the goofy way the titles try to merge Die Hard with tired expressions. The movies are certainly doing better than the last of the Dirty Harry films.

Deff will check this out.

I believe that "Die Harder" was only used in some Asian markets.

I'd like to see cameo's of Reginald Veljohnson & Samuel Jackson in this one.

[Code-7]

Part 3 is my favorite. The chemistry between Willis and Jackson was perfect.

As much as I liked Die Hard With A Vengeance, it still doesn't beat out the original Die Hard!

All the other installments suck but I still watch them when they come on TV.

That would be really cool, especially Reggie.

You'd better! There are no better Christmas movies then Die Hard and Die Hard 2.

I remember watching the first one in the theatre and when Argyle popped in that RUN-DMC tape and "Christmas In Hollis" started playing all of us teens were shocked in amazement to hear hip-hop in that movie!

[EK20]

I could imagine!

[beng]

My Rankings are:

Die Hard
Die Hard with a Vengeance
Live Free or Die Harder
Die Hard 2: Die Harder

Im sooooo in for this. Action cheese at its best.

[DSG-TDI]

The only movie in the series I didn't like was Die Hard 2, otherwise, I really like this franchise! Hans Gruber's cousin or something should be in this movie.

[Red92Gti]

I just hope they don't make this a PG-13 movie like the last one. I hated seeing it in the theatres and not hearing John McLean dropping f-bombs every other word. Then when the "unrated" DVD came out they dubbed the f-bombs in. Most of them take place when you can't see his lips and what he is saying. they need to make it like anyother Die Hard.

I liked Die Hard 2 more than the most recent one.

[actng 1.8T]

most of the diehard movies are 3 out of 5 in my opinion
i would still make an effort to go see. i just don't think it's that well made/written/filmed

[Minker17]

Teaser:

[Sizzla]

How are they going to work in the "yippy kye yay!"

Maybe in Russian this time?

[Biff Beltsander]

If there's no "funny" comments while somehow figuring out how to shoot a motorcycle into a hovering helicopter then maybe I'll watch, the trailer that is.

[RacingManiac]

New Die Hard movie....do not disappoint me...

[EK20]

Still super excited for this one.

You shut your mouth!

[EK20]

Yeah! Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie of all time!

[epbrown]

February 14? Way to show confidence, movie studio! What's next - early online rental?

Shows you what I know, I didn't even know they made four of these already and this is number five I can't disconnect from reality enough to watch these things anymore, so it's a no go for me. I've seen 1 & 2, but I couldn't tell you a thing about them either it was so long ago............

1: Tall Building
2: Airport
3: NYC
4: NYC/DC/Virginia

Screw all you guys...this will be an absolute riot.

This trailer made my day yesterday.

As is typical with sequels, Hollywood either remakes the same film over and over or forgets what made the original great. The first DH was great because it was McLane alone against seemingly insurmountable odds in a restricted environment and it had a great villain in Hans Gruber. They haven't hit on that formula since, especially in terms of charismatic bad guys. In the 2nd film, they essentially remade the first in an airport. The last two were essentially buddy movie scripts re-written using the characters.

That's not to say they aren't somewhat entertaining - I liked Die Hard 3 a lot and 4 had its moments.

Not to sound like a purist but the only one that I truly regard as a classic is Die Hard (1988). It had everything necessary to make it a classic: great villain, a single location, simple setup, a badass hero, Christmas jingles, Reginald VelJohnson, original script, yippee kai yay...

Absolutely. I'd say they just do a shot for shot remake.

Or, do a sequel to the original and bring Hans back. Don't acknowledge the fact that he died in the first one, just bring him back as if nothing happened.
