Willis Ponders "Die Hard 4" and "Another 16 Blocks"
ComingSoon.net has a piece of Bruce Willis quotage from an episode of Extra, and the always optimistic (yet aging) action star is still trying to breathe some life into Die Hard 4 -- plus he has some nifty new ideas on how to do a 16 Blocks 2.
"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"."

I'm a big Bruce Willis fan, but I think if the guy still wants to bang out a half-decent Die Hard installment, he better get his butt in gear now. Heck, if Stallone can resurrect Rocky at 60 years of age, then Willis can bring back a 52-year-old John McClane. Right?

on Apr 06 2006 12:12 PM I'll give Die Hard 4 a chance, but I don't know if 16 Blocks deserves a sequel. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 06 2006 12:56 PM yeah, wouldn't mind seeing either of those. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 06 2006 01:11 PM Well, at least Willis is aware of his old age and what he's doing, so perhaps it'll turn out ok, or at least funny. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 06 2006 02:53 PM 52 yrs. old is nothing...look at Harrison Ford! Bedelia and VelJohnson back? That's awesome if it happens...but no need for a 16 Blocks sequel. I liked the way it ended and a sequel would ruin that. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 06 2006 07:59 PM [b]GREAt 16 blocks!!![/b] I loved 16 blocks, one of my favorites of all-time...yes thats how much i actually like the movie. Mos def really stole the show there, i enjoyed him in the movie. But they only should make a sequel if it has a way in which it doesn't kill the first movie. Otherwise, im up for it because watching 16 blocks was just pure fun, the way movies should be(not over the top but just right). (Reply to this) |

on Apr 06 2006 08:01 PM 16 Blocks was great, can't wait for a second one to come out. Mos DEf was hillarious in the movie. Can't wait for Another 16 Blocks to come out. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 06 2006 08:05 PM In reply to this comment (#833328) [b]16 blocks[/b] Yes, 16 blocks does deserve a sequel, 16 blocks was a awsome movie. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 06 2006 08:07 PM Give a chance to both 16 blocks and die hard sequels. They're both great movies. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 06 2006 11:32 PM [b]16 Blocks 2[/b] I think there's about as much chance of seeing "Another 16 Blocks" as there is a "Basic Instinct 3." "16 Blocks" better sell a helluva lot of DVDs if they're going to make a sequel, because it sure as hell hasn't done that well during its theatrical release. In "Die Hard 4," they should bring back William Atherton as annoying reporter Dick Thornburg. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 08 2006 12:40 PM Please do Die Hard first, I've been waiting for a 4th one for way to long. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 30 2009 06:36 PM Please, Bruce, make 16 Blocks 2. 16 Blocks was great and is definatley in the upper half of your resume along with Tears of the Sun and Die Hard. Another Jack Mosley picture would be awesome. It truly does deserve a sequel, especially if Richard Donner is going to direct again. He did a great job with the first. (Reply to this) |
