Fox dredges the UNDERWORLD for their director on DIE HARD 4.0!
Hey folks, Harry here... Fox, in an attempt to always find a better director than the last time out, has gone from John McTiernan to Len Wiseman, director of the UNDERWORLD films for their next installment of DIE HARD... which is apparently being called DIE HARD 4.0, where John McClane comes out of retirement to fight a gang of vicious Internet Terrorists! I'm sure they're not talking about John McClane fighting a group of geeks that have been doing person-2-person dvd burning or downloading of films currently in theaters... or... maybe they are. After all, Fox has ALIENS VS PREDATORS in a fucking Walmart... don't they? I remember reading that somewhere... oh yeah, Moriarty wrote that. Hmmmm...
P.S. Bari (talkbacker) - I never said X-MEN 3 wouldn't have a gigantic opening weekend. Only that I didn't like the film.

am I
-
DON'T FUCKING BLOW IT.
-
Now I am officially a fan boy.
-
They can't get McTiernan because he might be going to prison and can't necessarily rewrite the script to take place entirely in prison. Although that might be cool.
-
Any hopes I had for this film just crashed and burned. Bruce Willis had been making some good films over the past few years. But Len Wiseman!? Jesus! Why?
-
you clearly are getting desperate. Do yourself a favor:zip the gums and ditch the smarmy tough guy act. This jumped the shark about 20 years ago.
-
...for FOX. We all know whose brilliant choice this was...
-
look what they did with xmen. oh i thought so

Oh, a McTiernan Die Hard film wouldn've been good...
by scarranhalfbreed
...but he was naughty, naughty man, and its now going to someone I've never heard of. I officially have no hope for this.
-
Yeah, I would have loved to see a MCtiernan Die Hard as well....oh wait...he made the good two already.
-
I'm going to file this in the "movies that no one is asking for" file, right next to Indy 4, Road House 2, Iron Eagle 12, and Terminator 4. What did I miss? Ginger Snaps 3? Jeepers Creepers 3? John should just STAY in retirement Bruce, don't bring him out. No one wants to see you in this film. NO ONE. And Len Wiseman should be making new films, not sequels to films that were released when was what 5 years old? Die Hard was 1988 yes? And if McTeirnan doesn't do to jail we have "Crash Bandits" and "Deadly Exchange" to look forward to him making. Don't those sound craptastic?
-
but there's no way they are worse than Rollerball.
-
You missed "I'll always know what you did last summer". I don't care that it's DTV, it still should have been taken out the back and had a coathanger jammed into logn ago. Yeah, I know that doesn't make sense, but I don't care. Also, what did McTiernan do? And finally, I think Len Wiseman needs to do more thinkin' and len wiseman...
-
Maybe that means we'll see her in DH4. If so I might be slightly interested. And John McTiernan's going to prison? What for, Last Action Hero? Must have been a long trial.
-
If the plot for this movie has something to do with computers, I can see the 4 being written as "4.0" making a somewhat intriguing teaser poster, but titling your movie that? That ranks right up there with '2 Fast 2 Furious' as one of the worst "clever" sequel titles in recent history. Not that I'd be all that interested in seeing this movie anyway. Maybe they can retitle it 'Die Hard vs. Computers' and play it slightly tongue-in-cheek in order to grab that 'Snakes on a Plane' audience.
-
He was born to direct Die Hard IV.
-
That's funny, I remember turning to my friend after seeing UNDERWORLD 2 and saying that it was practically DIE HARD with Vampires and Werewolves. I'm not entirely against having Len Wiseman take a crack at this, I actually enjoyed the hell out of EVOLUTION. His films so far have been deeply flawed and barely above mediocre, but they were entertaining and you can tell that the guy has an ambitious vision. I think he can handle the action with no problem, it's the story I'm worried about. Internet terrorists? It's not Snakes On A Plane, that's for sure.
-
No, Tyrese doesn't count. This better be a hard R with cussing and blood, and 'sploding baddies.
-
casts Kate Beckinsale in this, I'll tear my own eyeballs out. She is the death knell for any movie she plays the central female role in, the talentless git.
-
You have zero credibility now Knowles. None. X3 made $120 million opening weekend you hated every minute of it thought it would tank didn't think there was enough production time and so on. Go make Ghost Town with your buddy Todd Garner. However I will agree with you or whoever reviewed that piece of shit AVP2 script. That's craptacular. But X3 is a home run.
-
Seriously, leave the trilogy as the well-made, classic (the first one - best action film EVER), daftly entertaining (the second one) and cranked up rollercoaster(the third)s that they are. Another one now with saggy old McClane more than a decade on - fighting cyber terrorists???? Puh-leaze - would be shit. Don't spoil the legacy. And without McTiernan??? Heresy.
-
underworld blows like my ass. why not ask mctiernan to do the fourth?
-
But ANOTHER one I mean. Jesus.
-
that sequels to Die Hard and Indiana Jones are unwanted. That's bullshit. At least Indy Jones will be a huge hit, and people are yearning to see it.
-
oh thats right, he made that Vikings film. And DH3. Jesus, they're throwing him away just for that??
-
I think Mr. Mctiernan has a more pressing concern, like staying out of jail, due to his involvement with the whole phone tapping debacle with Pelicano. Btw Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman are married.
-
was fucking awful. Stupid boring bullshit, which is a shame because Beckinsale is quite a good actress, she's just in a lot of crap. Len Wiseman is shit and what could have been a fun movie will now suck.
-
How many more franchises can they fuck up?
They've alreay torpedoed the ALIEN and X-MEN franchises, why not DIE HARD too?!!!!!!! -
Once again, you demonstrate your extraordinary editing skills.... and the contempt in which you hold your readers.
-
...the worst "horror" of the last 40 years (well, maybe a little bit better than the remake of Texas Chainsaw, but what isn't better than that?)
Let me guess, Willis will have a rebelious teen goth daughter in this one? And I can't wait to see those terrorists doing their 1337 h4x0ring with their floating Matrix fonts and schizoid flashing 3D graphical GUIs on giant monitors, with nu metal in background.
-
Don't get me wrong, as John McClane is my favorite individual movie character of all time, it severely depresses me that Fox is taking this long gestating project "so seriously" that they've put their top guy aka Wasserman on it, but.... do we all remember the couple different times when we read things like Britney Spears was attached to play all grown up Lucy McClane, and/or Justin Timberlake was attached to play the all grown up boy McClane (forget the son's name). So, yea, it's bad enough that this douchebag is gonna direct, but if it turned out either one of those was still involved, I swear I'd firebomb the entire FOX lot.
-
My God, man, check your spelling before you post to the world. Spelling errors like this make you seem dumb.
-
To be honest I don't need another John McClain movie. It won't be Die Hard, it won't even be Die Harder or With A Vengance. It'll be Desperate Attempt to Make Money With Name Recognition and Little Effort Part MXXVVII. So long as they are doing that, they might as well give us something with some balls. Not just one but TWO guys who keep having bad days.
-
as he kicks mutha fuckin web troll ass.
watch out for the lolz. they are really a nasty bunch. so are the stfu-ers and the gtfo-ers. then theres the roflmao-ers. i think this movie might get overstuffed with too many troll cameos. -
Apparently, it's some really complicated and rather scary stuff about a PI, a wiretap, and lying under oath. Very scary, very federal. This could get serious for the guy. Shame. He made some good movies in his day.
-
Rollerball "reimagining" anybody? God, after that atrocity alone the man shouldn't be allowed within 100 yards of a movie set...
-
He did a fantastic job on the Dawn Of The Dead remake. The guy knows action!
-
would also be a great choice!
-
Or does he just not give a fuck anymore?
-
I'm not too sure about this but I do know I'll be there to see it. I'm really missing the "manly" action of the 80s and if they can bring that back with this film.. I'm there... -_-
-
McClane's wife is framed for murder and put in a maximum secrity prison. Meanwhile McClane is kidnapped by a group of SAS types and wakes up in a Bangkok prison, with nothing but a vest and a home-made shank on the floor beside him. Basically he as to break out of one naximum security prison and INTO another. The body count is in the high hundreds. The guns are enormous, McClane is back and Mctiernan can direct it from behind bars! I rule!
-
Can't wait to not see this movie.
-
It would just be better everybody. Hopefully in this one, John McLane actually dies. Hard. If that's in it, I might see it. That, and if the lead terrorist is a large, rdheaded geek named Harry, who throws exploding DVDs. That would be worth seeing.
-
a good movie for once...FOX!
-
So Mctiernan should move on. Why did they think that film needed Sam Jackson to make it a "buddy" film?
-
Huge Opening Weekend does not equal a good movie.

Oh come on..DH3 was pretty good, apart from Jezza Irons
by big_bubbaloola
and his terrible German accent!! Apart from that, it was a nice change from the first 2 films. "Are you aiming for these people McClane!!" "No of course not!....well maybe that mime" Love it.
-
They just make this shit up as they go along don't they? Lenny boy is a fucking hack. The Underworld movies should've went straight to video. They're n o better that those low budget hood flicks you see in Blockbuster. I was so sure that part 3 of that bullshit series would be his last movie (after which he would've slipped sweetly away into that good night) and I wouldn't have had to hear about his metrosexual, lucky to be fucking Beckinsale, no original style or talent ass taking over one of my favorite franchises. FUCK!
-
Every movie in which "The Net" is evil and the enemy uses it to somehow directly affect the real world, must feature Sandra Bullock. This sounds lame as hell. Oh and the definition of an internet terrorist is anyone who criticizes the executive branch, meaning sixty-one percent of the population.
-
The plot almost writes itself. John McLane is serving time for a crime he didn't commit, but then the prison is taken over by terrorists, Half Past Dead-style. McLane is the only prisoner who isn't still stuck in his cell because he was talking with the warden when the terrorists attacked. And through the whole movie, the terrorists think it's a crazy prison guard that's picking off their men. If they want to keep the "internet terrorist" theme, then they can have it be some kind of high-tech prison with lasers and shit, and the terrorists could be holding the internet for ransom with their high-tech prison computers. This project could make history by being the first blockbuster action film ever shot by a director who was serving a prison sentence at the time. Ideally, they would ignore the existance of Die Hard With A Vengeance and just call this one Die Hardest.
-
C'mon...it's a natural fit.
-
I love the first two Die Hard movies, and even found things to like about the third. This fourth installment seems like it will be terrible.
-
yes, Chloe from 24, not John McClane. You are telling me a 50-year old ex-cop is going to stop the MySpace terrorists? Why not put CTU's finest in charge?
-
People actually enjoyed "X-Men:3"? I know people went to go see it, but I had no idea people actually liked it. The audience I watched it with laughed at it most of the way through. Hmm. Especially that scene where Beast wants to close the school and then Storm's all like, "No... The school will stay open." YAY! It's like they had three days to write that entire script. "I have an idea!" "What?" "You know how the first two movies have really good prologues?" "Yeah." "Well... why don't we have TWO prologues, but make them both shitty?" "Sounds GREAT!" YAY!
-
I personally think that Die Hard I & 2 are pretty awesome, though 2 was cheesy, it had the same general feeling as I. Now Die Hard 3 was just plain STOOPID. I say please just give it to a GOOD director who KNOWS what do to with it. Hell I would even say Ratner, he is the best damn copycat in the directors market today. If they cant get Singer, or someone GOOD. Give it to him, say "Make it like the first one" and BOOM its gonna be good. Now it wont be GREAT, but we just wanna go OOOOOO and AAAAAAAHHHH.... anyone else agree?

That would be a great solution. Although I thought that if you are a Hollywood person they let you out to make films? See R Downey Jnr on numerous occasions. I like him, he's batshit crazy...
-
DH3 was just 11 years ago, way too fresh in my mind. Hath Fox no tact?!?
-
Not even on DVD. What a fucking joke.
-
that director is lame. Get McTiernan
-
May 31, 2006 10:16:26 AM CDT
I don't want McClane sat at a computer for 2 hours!
by performingmonkey
This sounds like it would be a better idea for a 24 movie, but who knows.
-
Since he's directing your main man, Bruce Willis (well, maybe second main man to Mr. Seagal), I guess you best get to reviewing UNDERWORLD 1 & 2 like I asked you nicely to do months ago on a talkback for an unrelated movie that I forgot the name of. You did post back to me that you'd have to watch the first movie to review the second properly, you may not remember. Thank you for your time, sir.
-
You will hate me for saying that, but I am sorry.
Oh well. -
I saw a lots of bad films in my life, but there were only three which were so bad, that I couldn't see them till the end. One of them was Underworld. Yes, I got the DVD of House Of The Dead at home and I watched it twice, but Underworld sucked too hard for me. I thought Florent Emilio Siri was the McTiernan substitute? Yes, Hostage didn't made well at the B.O., but Siri is a much better director than Wiseman! Fuck Fox!
-
Do you know the difference between a scripwriter and a director?
-
a rotund 6,4 englishmen known for his caustic wit and his portrayal of 'oscar wilde' - he could be a new alan rickman type
-
Underworld. I mean Kate, in full leather, skin tight, with guns, and bad ass attitude? It had potential, but it just never really connected. Maybe it needed to take it self a BIT less serious... Dunno, but I watch it over without the sound. Anyone else agree?

and it still seems split between comic book fans. if you can get past what they changed from the comics, its a great movie. people who don't know the comics- aka: 90% of America- will have loads of fun with this movie and THAT'S why its gonna be so amazingly successful. Superman? havent we seen that movie, like, 5 times? we get it, he's strong. grar. almost as over done as king kong. didn't Harry like that movie too? ...how can a movie reviewer have SUCH bad taste in movies? Does he like Jackson's Bad Taste? because THAT was bad ass. Derek's never give up, you know.
-
Well, at least it's not Renny Harlin. But he probably wasn't returning their calls. I ought to go hang out in front of the studio, cause I swear at this point they're just pulling guys in off the street to direct shit. Inbreeding. It's the only explanation I've got. People in LA need to stop getting their sisters pregnant.
-
TOO LATE!!!!
-
What are they thinking, he sucks so much arse it's not even funny. Bad Bad move FOX - you idiots.
-
Makes Brett Ratner look like Cassavetes.
-
May 31, 2006 11:23:14 AM CDT
Harry... you kinda did say that X Men wouldnt be big.
by cotton mcknight
Not any time lately but one of the hallmark moments in the history of this website was when you claimed that your trashing of Batman Forever (or whatever it was) led to its failure at the box office. By that measure that you created for yourself, Aintitcool.com has lost all relevancy.
-
It's been well over a decade since With a Vengance. Can't FOX just take whatever script they are calling Die Hard 4.0, rewrite it a little, and use it for something new? Leave John McLane alone.
-
First off I know many people who are really not nerdy who hated X3, and I mean really hated it more than me. Also every day X3 drops a huge percent and except for Bret Ratner and a handfull of fucking retards who will see it twice. Anyway Wiseman will have Bruce fighting warewolves or vamps in DH4 because that's all he can do. He sucks the underworld movies were popcorn fair bs, which I guess many people in the site believe those films are beautiful if you stand to defend FF and X3 so proudly as most of you do. If Wiseman directs I will never see this film, period.
-
Too Old! Come on, Bruce (and Harrison) are too old for this shit, but need these milk cows to get some of their lost cred back with the big audiences. Okay, Harrison more than Bruce, but damn it - Willis hasn't been doing too good lately. Die Hard 4 is a bad idea and has been kicked around too much to be really interesting, although I remember a treatment that was mentioned in the late 1990s about Die Hard in a underwater city - which would be cool, I guess.
-
If the Underworld series is any indication, he knows how to shoot action scenbes better than most of the worshipped directors on this site. Yes Harry, that includes your Mexican director (DelTorro?) that did Blade 2 and Hellboy (I would take Underworld 2 over those turde ANY day of the week).
-
What's with all these sequals that should have been made in the 90's? And I agree with the poster above. They don't need John McClaine, they need Chloe.
-
I went with 3 friends and we walked out thinking how that movie delivered on every level. Bad ass action scenes, lots of guns, massive gore, gothic settings, no dull stretches. If you didn't like Underworld Evolution, you need to go back to geek school.
-
First - As much as I love the Die Hard Trilogy, another one is very unnecessary. (Goddamn the end of part three was so fucking anti-climatic) Second - It would've been nice to throw McTiernan a gig seeing how he did some cool shit back in the day but his legal problems probably took away from that. Third - As far as Wiseman and Underworld - it could go either way. I thought the first Underworld was largely forgettable but the second one I thought was pretty cool. Not a classic by any means but a lot of cool actions scenes and gore. It was fun and entertaining. Fourth - Beckinsale is a goddess. Lastly - Harrys Fox vendetta is getting old and will probably not be over until he has Rothmans job. (Yes we know AVP sucks as, can we move past the obvious now?)
-
Actually, he seemed to suggest seeing a matinee show, which still didn't make sense, as you are still giving money to the filmmakers to encourage them to make more shit movies. But I did the right thing, unlike most of you, and didn't pay to see it. I will catch it down the line via the newsgroups.
-
Answer: no. God I hope the answer is no...
-
(that also features Kate Bekinsale in a skin tight rubber outfit) Into one of the most mundane, boring pieces of shit to hit the silver screen in years. Then whats going to happen when he has Baldy Bruce Willis and a story about the internet?
-
He was just ripping off the whole Matrix-stuff with slow motion fights and so on. And this in the most boring way.
-
What the hell does this piece of news have to do with X-Men? Do you just like to flip Harry off anytime you see him write an article now? Sweet Christmas, people. Weren't those nasty Browncoats reviled for hijacking other threads last fall? I guess when the series is popular, you're allowed to get away with obnoxious behavior.
-
they shouldn't make this. The kids today can't direct action. They're too in love with Wire-fu, quick cuts, techno, CGI explosions, and skaky cam. We should at least wait until that movie "Shoot 'Em Up" with Clive Owen comes out, to see if at least one person can unplug themselves from the Matrix for five minutes. (I hope). Then we'll talk about Die Hard 4.
-
While I'm sure this news has AB King creaming in his jeans, it really just makes me sad. Not only has the character of John McClane been plumbed just about as deep as he can possibly go, but this premise has been fucked six-ways-to-Sunday by everyone in Hollywood for the last 18 years. Seriously. It's been done and redone so many times that the following phrase graduated from actually Hollywood pitch-speak to the official movie-mocking lexicon before the turn of the century: "It's Die Hard on a [INSERT NEW AND UNIQUE LOCATION HERE]. Since the original, we've had Die Hards on a plane (too numerous to name), Die Hard on a boat (Under Seige & Speed 2), Die Hard on a bus (Speed), Die Hard in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and even Die Hard in a mansion starring Bruce Willis as someone other than but uncannily similar to John McClane (Hostage, anyone?). There is even less need for Bruce to go back to this well than there is for Stallone to revisit either the Rocky or Rambo franchises (unless those two didn't have the same creative exit strategy from Planet Hollywood that the Governator clearly had). Someon needs to enlist Dr. Kevorkian to help this premise and this franchise to die...hard...with a vengeance.
-
Len Wiseman wasn't some "gun for hire" for the Underworld series. He created it. So that alone puts him heads above a lot of directors out there who just show up and shoot someone else's story. Ok, he "borrowed" some Matrix stuff for the first film, so did every other action movie since the Matrix. Underworld Evolution was fucking fantastic. Disagree all you want. Everyone I know liked or loved that film. I cannot wait until the dvd release. I thought it was as close to perfect as you can get for the genre, but I also like Harmony Korine, Werner Herzog and Terrence Malick movies, so my taste is not mainstream.
-
...since you seem to know the Underworld: Is there any truth to the rumnor that Wiseman "borrowed" quite a bit of the basis for his stories from a role playing game and didn't credit that source? I heard that from a gamer who refused to see the movies on these grounds (can't recall the name of the game as I've never played it myself). If so, the fact that he borrowed from the Matrix as well has a certain karmic symmetry to it, as the Wachowskis pretty much ripped off another story for the meat of their trilogy.
-
You are absolutely right, I already realized that before you pointed it out, too. You are ahead of your time. I will pay more attention to your future requests too. You know what you're doing. (by the way though, didn't they already announce it was gonna be the Hostage guy at one point? I guess we'll know when it starts shooting.)
-
Bitch all you want, whiney haters. John McClane is coming back no matter how much you cry about it.

"Any cracks or keygens for DI3 H4RD 4.0.1 beta yet"?
by salvatoregravano
Oh, Lord. Will they ever learn? Internet "threats" do not constitute good film material. Unless they're named Shimomura and Markoff, in which case they're a comedy goldmine.
-
The way they have to always get to a terminal or lug a laptop around with them. Since the last one weve had Jack Bauer and jack Bristow so John Mclains going to have crank it up a notch
-
Lets see, there is how they treated Singer, and X3, and then there is Arrested Development, and then there is the loss of Firefly.
Dont think it can get much worse.

I mean, think about it. One man against big odds and lots of baddies, a definite "countdown" structuring the plots, moving more or less in real time, much running / gunning / cliffhanger situations occurring more or less in real time. Sure it took a while to filter down to TV in a workable series format, but I do think the DH films planted the general idea. Well, they and certain videogames.
-
count me out.
-
the villian is Hans Gruber's sister. Nah, nevermind.
-
Just 2 sequels? Perhaps, but the endless clones throughout the 90s make me feel like I've seen 20 Die Hards. And most of them weren't worthy of the 1988 film that inspired them. A handful were good, but the sub-genre doesn't need resurrecting.
-
Die Hard 4skin!

The internet terrorist (chuckle) should be an overweight 30something, redhead guy, with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, pre diabetic, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, bad back, and bad knees who creates a doomsday program that will replace all porn with movies by Paul W.S. Anderson... and he'll have a hot 19 year old girlfriend...
GFY -
Start shelling out your hard earned dollars for this highly polished turd.
-
You know the one with the charisma and the perfect comic delivery? Id even take a twelve monnkeys Bruce. But what we dont need is another Hostage, or Tears of the Sun Bruce. And i fear Die Hard 4 will give us more of the latter
-
Personally I say BRING IT ON! If anyone can make this into a good movie, I trust Len Wiseman to do it - the only thing I hold against him is his wife is fucking hot!! You bastard! I understand if people are all vampired out and didn't really give the Underworlds a chance - I know a coupla people like that - and maybe my taste is not your taste? I loved the Underworld movies while I never got into the Blade movies... I thought the first two Xmen movies were ok, but number 3 was actually kinda great. Same with Mission Impossible. And Die Hard 3 shat all over 2. Anyhow taste is a matter of opinion. And yours is wrong.
-
I heard it also. I don't play RPG's but that rumor may be true. George Lucas "borrowed" 90% of the ideas in Star Wars from westerns, war films and sci-fi movies he grew up with. I don't worship Wiseman, but I think he has a great eye for action and visuals. For a smaller budget film, Underworld 2 pulled off some effects shots that were much better than anything in Van Helsing (which had more than twice the budget). I will defend the Underworld series to a point. They delivered on the whole "Vampires Vs Werewolves" bit. Citizen Kane they were not.
-
I like Wiseman and McTiernam, I loved Die Hard, hated Die Hard 2 (Renny Harlin is a plague on filmmaking second only to Tony Scott) and thought Die Hard 3 was pointless. You can fool me twice, but not a third time. I don't give a shit who's directing it and how much money they throw into it, Die Hard is over as a franchise. They should have left it at one movie and stayed legendary.
-
...Doom II. I actually enjoyed the first Underworld for what it was and plan to rent the second to see how it compares. And I do agree that the visual style of the first borrowed heavily from the Matrix (just saw some irony in that). As for Lucas' borrowing for Star Wars, I see that more as wearing one's influences on one's sleeve. He truly did some patchwork to create those original trilogy tapestries (I think the only scenes he pretty much lifted whole hog from anything else were the TIE/X-Wing battles in "A New Hope," which were modeled on WWII movie dogfight footage). He wasn't like a Tarantino, who will essentially paraphrase another work in its entirety (albeit quite well in Resrvoir Dogs) and I wouldn't equate it to what I understand of this Wiseman/RPG rumor. Essentially, the guy who relayed it to me characterized Underworld as an unlicensed fan fic. set in the game's universe...complete with clan names, characters and locations. If true, that's a bit different than what George and even QT did. If anyone else has more info, I'd be curious...particularly to know if anyone got sued or settled.
-
Nobody remembers it and you get the rough-shaven, Sarcastic, hung-over Bruce from Die Hard 3. Re-dub some of the lines and digitaly graft Samual L Jackson's head on top of Damon Wayans and you got yourself a new Die Hard flick. But with HAIR! It would cost about twelve dollars. Seriously!
-
It begins in a courtroom where John McClane & the Mrs's have finally decided to call it quits via divorce court. In a courtroom down the hall, a high profile criminal trial is being conducted, when all of a sudden, some bad-ass highly motivated gansta rappers with guns bust in to spring P. Diddy or Lil' Kim, (take your pick). All mayhem ensues and before John & the Mrs's can sign the (it's over) papers, John springs into action saves the day by thwarting 50 cents & G Units' insideous plans of subjecting the music world with more of P. Diddy's/Lil' Kims' shitty music and falls back in love with the Mrses while walking hand in hand to the nearest Motel 6 to re-consumate their relationship while the thumping Dr. Dres' re-mixed version of Muskrat Love is caressing the viewing audience ears and hearts with a newfound sense of luv'. Yo! I don't know about y'all, but this has Oscar written all over it.
-
Was it a perfect film? No, far from it. But I thought it was a quite enjoyable, adventurous ride of a summer action movie. ANYTHING was far better than that Renny Harlin-"directed" (ahem) debacle of DH2, that was just bad bad stuff.
-
and not bashing Lucas, but he does admit to using things that influenced him as a kid in the series. Underworld 2 in the theater was wicked. Much better than the first (which I liked, but don't put in the dvd player too much). There are about five of those "Oh shit!" moments in Underworld 2. The final battle with an out of control helicopter, the head werewolf with several soldier werewolves and just Selene and Michael (in creature form) in an old castle was about 15 minutes of straight coolness.
-
Actually, McClane busting heads of movie downloaders (or at least an off-the-cuff reference to the terrorists downloading) sounds like a masturbatory thing that Hollywood would love. They fuckin made that Paparazi movie, didn't they?

bruce can still sell it,(hostage was almost great but decided to turn into the crow at some point) and itll be great to see a macho film with balls again-no unconvincing girls in catsuits please hollywood. (unless theyre villains)
Internet terrorists>gold diggers in the jungle-thank fuck that script didnt get made, although I really dont see how they can do a die hard that isnt about terrorism or without explosions....(wonder howll theyll replace the new orleans flooding scene?) -
AVP and AVP2-"The Battle for Wal-Mart" and F4. But yeah, I don't think it can get much worse over there at FUX.
-
Well that's that mattress man. Fox has fucked up Die Hard. It will be impossible to fuck with Bruce Willis who will remain awesome regardless, but fucking christ guys get your head out of your asses and make some fucking GOOD movies!!!!!!!!!
-
died right near the date the Die Hard franchise died too YAY!!! FUCK!!!!
-
because that would be worth... downloading
-
for some reason i dont see john mclain as being that computer savy. they should steal a scene from star trek 4 when scotty goes up to the mac, picks up the mouse and speaks into it "hello computer"
-
And Die Hard 2 is one of the best (and most misunderstood) sequels of all time. With A Vengeance was a mess.
-
McTiernan is one of my all time favorite directors. His die hards, and Predator are some of the best movies made. Fuck anybody that doesnt allow him to direct.
-
Give this handful of shit to Ratner. Y'know, make sure.
-
tight black leather, holds two guns, kills a thousand people by herself, vampire, werewolves, etc...
What a good way to send the Die Hard series into mediocrity -
or Die Hard With A Vengeance, squared.
-
It was a good stand alone movie, but it wasn't Die Hard. Die Hard is its own genre. Die Hard is John McClane (or whoever) against the bad guys. DH3 made it into this whole Simon Sez (the original spec script that they used) thing which was a cool idea, but not a Die Hard movie. This 4.0 thing doesn't sound that great. Sounds dated. I'd prefer McClane on a cruise liner on vacation with the wife and kids and all hell breaks loose. And no, Speed 2 was not really Die Hard on a boat. I'll give you Seagal's movie, which was actually awesome, but it still could be a great sequel staying true to the original concept, just on a cruiseliner. Generic? Sure. What action movie that has grown into a classic isn't generic?
-
But who knows? If they have a killer script, this flick might surprise us all. This director does seem to have an eye for the camera, so I'll give'm that much credit. {Good luck. I love the "DIE HARD" trilogy.}

" So basically World War 3.com is the basis for Die Hard 4.0
So what's John McClane up to these days?
He no longer is a cop for the NYPD, he's divorced, he's much older, in and out of Alcoholic's Anonymous and he is now a cop who is out of place working for the Department of Homeland Security. His old boss BOWMAN and him go back to the NYPD and Bowman hooked him up with the gig. McClane catches hackers now for a living as demonstrated in the opening scene as he catches a hacker named MATT FOWLER at Pennsylvania University and brings him back in his 65' mustang to Washington. The diehard series is all about McClane being at the wrong place at the wrong time and in the way of some bad guys plans like in the 1st two films. They stick to that formula here. Who are our bad guys? You guessed it -- HACKERS..."
"
My only gripe is that for a die-hard script there is no yippee kay yee mofo (I know, it sounds corny) and there are no personal stakes for McClane in here like in the 1st two movies. This setup aint personal for McClane, it feels like he is just along for the ride. What -
Die Hard 2 is much better than DH3. I loved how DH2 had the same vibe as the original. But DH3? I remember sitting in the theater thinking, "THIS is a Die Hard movie? WTF?!" It wasn't a 'rollercoaster', it was a car wreck.

the should make Die Hard 12: Die Hungry..Scnell schnell
by ashesofdonnie
best Ben Stiller skit ever!!!!
-
Technology, why is he involved in an internet threat? He didn't even know how a phone worked on a plane in DH2.
-
The underworld movies have NO PLOT. NONE. Its a bunch of running around. Worthless action movies. Pieces of shit. Die Hard is the best action movie ever made. And its because JOHN MCTIERNAN DIREDTED IT. No other reason. I just hired an assassin to off this new director.

These guys still don't get it! DH1 is a classic, 2 is a hard actioner, 3 is a fun buddy movie with some great action set peices that's where it should stay. Boy these guys are going to screw up big time if they make this film. I think 3 was a pure indication that the steam is running out so they should leave well enough alone. What saved 3 was the action and Sam Jackson and Bruce Willis's chemistry, it certainly wasn't the weak plotline about a madbomber with robbery on his mind. So since 3 went out on a nice note that's how it should stay. There's really no story for a 4th movie because McClane is a normal guy who's stuck in crazy situations, nothing like Martin Rigg's multidimensional (in 1 and 2) hero from the lethal franchise, even Lethal 4 had a story but the production was so rushed the movie was a mess with paperthin plot, if they're smart they won't do the same to Die Hard.

underwor;d was so bad, it was all style over substance, which is always a bad idea, and the style was just stolen anyhow from matrix and stuff, it took a great concept of vampires vs wearwolves and blew it by giving them trench coats and guns and bad lighting, i think one of the howlings did it better anyways. god i hate this irector and i know he'll f-up dh4. i'm sad. and if its about computers its gonna be stupid. i quit. iread the artical the other day and it said one script was about a flood in louisinna, that sounded awesome, die hard in a flood with john mcclane saving the day for all america too see, that might be cool, but who knows. i still love all 3 die hards, thats all 3.
LCG out! -
Jack Bauer himself? Kiefer Sutherland would be a complete bad-ass in this one, though I am opposed to a fourth Die Hard movie. Still, hire a talented director (the less said about Wiseman the better) and one helluva bad guy and you're halfway there.
-
one because he gets to bone Kate Beckinsale and two because he will ruin a damn good action trilogy. You know you liked Die Hard with a Vengence and you also know Wiseman will someone fuck up this one.
-
Are they still going with McClane and his son trapped in a super high security computer blah blah blah?
That would be to set up McClane junior for the series.
Die Hard 5: Teen Die Hard.
You just know it's coming -- and this time it's personal.
Hollywood is crap. -
Internet terrorists really do exist. What they do is break or hack into your machine, gather up your files and demand you type in a password. the sting in the tail is that they demand money and if you dont pay, you can kiss goodbys to files. In a much more sinister turn they can deposit child pornography on your computer, demand money and if you dont give in to them, they will call the authorities and say you have kiddie porn on your machine. they simply disappear and your fucked. They are a huge menace because they cannot be traced. They are very real.

Underworld Evolution KICKED ASS! And for you haters - It's a f**king vampire flick - not a documentary! It can follow its' own rules.
My advice: stop masturbating and get a girlfriend, stop spellchecking responses to prove your intelect while missing the meat of the post - and most inportant, move out of your mommy's house a get a life!
As for Harry, remember that he's the guy that gave the "Godzilla" remake a good review.
