"Die Hard 4" May Start Production This Fall

It's too early to write off John McClane. The hero of the "Die Hard" films will likely return for a fourth outing. "'Die Hard 4.0' is being written as we speak, and if all goes well, we'll be shooting it in Autumn on the east coast of the United States," Bruce Willis has told the BBC while promoting his upcoming thriller, "Hostage," in London. All that Willis will reveal about the storyline is that "John McClane has retired as a cop." "Hostage" will open in theaters March 11th.

I am very excited about this. I have been waiting for yet another installment of the die hard line. I think the movies and characters were and always will be great story builders. I can't wait.

John McClane is one of the few badasses still out there. He's witty and doesn't really throw too much outward emotion into whats going on. It seems like he's irritated that it keeps happening to him.

I loved the first three movies, but I really hope its not another Eastern European bad guy.

Looks like Willis is jumping on the Michael Douglas Bandwagon, and trying rejuvenate his carrer by bringing back this tired franchise. The big question is whether he'll go bald in this one, or wear a rug. I'm on pins and needles.
Oh, I wonder if the plot will have anything to do with his charater going up against terrorists. I'm sure the villain with have an accent.

I wouldn't mind another Die Hard at all. Yeah, he needs this to put him back on the A-list - although not as much as Michael Douglas, who's been busy pumping out babies instead of movies.

Spare us. Churning another one out at this point brings down the franchise much like the 3rd installment has already started to do. Don't mess with a classic. This is right there with Jordan coming back to the nba.

I'am looking foward to it. If there are terrorists in this movie they better not be Arabs. Theres already so much prejudice against them in the USA.

Yeah you'd think some Arabs had crashed a couple of planes into the World Trade Center or something.

I hope the arabs will be that "bad guys" but then at the end have a twist just to realize that the gourvernment is behind everything!

I think the twist should be that the John McClane character turns bad, and is the villain instead. He should also be required to have an accent so the audience wont be confused. The new hero could be a new young wise cracking cop, who plays by his own rules. Colin Farrell could play be up for the lead. Then the twist at the end, could be McClane is his father.
See, this gem is already writing itself. The brilliant title of Die Hard 4.0 needs to stay though, because there was obviously a lot of thought put into it.

Hey, I'm a fan of these movies, but four might be a little bit overkill. Regardless, if Bruce is up for kicking some ass, all is well.

As for Arabs being terrorists, if there is no point to them being Arabs besides the general "Bleh! We're Arab! Fear Us!" reaction that seems to evoked from the more dumbed-down viewers, than it is definitely not worth making them Arabs due to the public fiasco that will ensue. The nationality, unless it is a plot point, does not matter.

The title though, it sounds like Tron for crying out loud.

I don't care about nationalities either. Over the years we've been subjected to the same old time-period stuff. During the Cold War everything was Russian or Soviet Bad guys. Now its Arabs or Asian. How about some good old mixed bag terrorist goodness?

"Hey mahn, lets go blow sumting up!"
"Si, muy bien."
"I make yu fri rice bomb! Vewy good!"
"YesSs Comrade, that will do."

The villians should reflect the major real-life villian of the time. Gee, who could that be? If not Arabs, then fundamentalist Christian Republicans. And...release the torrent of flames!

He calls us the warmongering christian wackos when he's the one picking fights...

Besides, Bruce Willis can't star in a movie attacking right wing wackos. He'd have to shoot himself.

Then again, if Elessar had his way . . .

Its people like Elessar and craygyrulez that make up the uneducated, unworldly, "believe everything they hear on the news" people of the US...thankfully there are a lot of people in the US who aren't as dumb....did they ever stop to think why the arabs hate the the US government so much? maybe because they invade countries without the UNs permission and kill innocent people for oil and label it as "spreading democracy"....or maybe its because they blindly support Israel with tanks and helicopters and guns to kill the Palestinians who fight with rocks, just because the Jewish people give the politicians more money than the Palestinians in the U.S.....oh yeah, by the way, I'm looking forward to Die Hard 4 no matter what nationality the terrorists are......

Those rocks the Palestinians have sure do explode a lot like mortars, rockets, and car bombs...

I've never seen a single rock take out an entire bus load of innocent civilians before, but I guess it depends on the rocks in your parts.
