UPDATED!! Pics From The Set Of LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hey folks...
Heard from anonamouse, who was working on this film. He says these images are, indeed, from LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD. This is a TRUE LIES-esque sequence in which a jet fighter tries to take out McClane on a bridge. This scene wasn't in the script I read a while back (review here).
Thanks a ton to the folks who wrote in.
Merrick here...
I'm curious about these images. They were sent in by Alan Scott, and show a massive set erected (yep...I said "erected") Pomona Fair Grounds in Southern California.
Alan said he saw the title "Reset" associated with the filming; the closest match I can think of is LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD -- which was, at one point, called DIE HARD: RESET. At first, I was tempted to say TRANSFORMERS -- but it's been wrapped from some time & is doing no shooting at the moment.
If anyone knows anything else about these, please E-MAIL ME, as we've several readers who are kinda curious as to what these demolished up bridges, fighter jets, and giganto blue screens are about.
I'll "UPDATE" this article as we learn more, so be sure to check back.



Thanks to Alan Scott for sending these in!

Whatever it is
-
and this movie better not be, altough die hard with a vengeance looks weak and dated now
-
..."Action Movie" (the next in line after Epic Movie and Date Movie).
-
it's for Iron Eagle 5. Chappy got to eat.
-
Wow, pictures of planes against blue screen. Very interszzzzzzzzzz....
-
seems to be that way, although the first pic seems like it could be from a hoover dam shot that i think is in the transformers. who knows/cares
-
or even nipples on Batman, for that matter. Oh, and "Eighth".
-
Its pics from the set of CAPTAIN PANAKA: The Quickening. In this prequel to the prequels, we learn of Panaka's days as a bush pilot which made him a cynical mofo. We also learn who spewed in his eye which made him always wear an eye patch.
-
Meh.
-
Ahhh...just what I need at the end of a long day.
-
Just so you shitsticks have to come running back here to tell us all that you knew it all along. MAN CATS!
-
because the pictures will be pulled.
-
that sometimes i really love you guys.
-
in your own back yard!
-
Shit yourself?
-
i think these are from the darjeeling limited
-
it was close to the time I first started posting here, you almost never forget the first time.
-
Now that I've seen the trailer for this rom-com "Catch & Release", I can't help but wonder if Smith's inclusion in DH4 was helped at all by him being Timothy Olphant's costar in C&R, and given that Olphant plays the head baddie in DH4 (right?), well... Just sayin.
-
He says the blue screen is his.
-
I'm thinking Hard Boiled meets ID4 trailers meets the last 20 minutes of Children of Men, with elements of Serenity's space battle and Akira if it weren't animated.
-
As he straps into the F-35 prototype and throttles up the most ridiculous action movie to hit theaters in decades.
-
What the hell is with the 'old geezer' action movies lately? This is a worse idea than Indy 4 (and that is saying something!)
-
i remember i used to come here and find really cool news, now its aint it meh news
-
It's da troof.
-
DUH!!!
-
Damn you, Barbaro!! Dammit!! Damn you!! God damn you!! Dammit, Barbaro!! Damn you!! And this is obviously the set for TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION.
-
This was for a Green Lantern movie starring Jack Black, but the thing got canned. These scenes were when Hal Jordan was flying a jet plane and his plane, along with half the city, almost got destroyed when Abin Sur's spaceship crashed from outer space. After this scene Jordan got the ring. By the way I got a great script for a Green Lantern movie. A script that can't be beaten. Interested? Let me know. I'm listening.

They're pics from THIS YEAR'S LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE!!
by powereduppacman
I just couldn't help myself...
-
The scene where the HULK falls off the jet and lands on the road. Hulk 2 is a remake of Hulk 1 right? Jet plane + busted road = HULK 2

This is the most non-news "news" Aint It Cool News has posted in my time. Thanks for nothing.

by the_shogun_gunslinger
BSB, plz go back in time to prevent this from being posted
-
Damn you Michael Bay
-
for the opening scene of Real Genius 2.
-
Hmmm.....???
-
Is this what qualifies as news these days? Posting a bunch of uninteresting photographs and ask us what film they might be from? Please.
-
I thought Capt. Typho in Star Wars 2 and 3 was the one with the eyepatch.
-
He said the movie is Hot Shots 3
-
Well somone had to say it
-
can't spell
-
...it says we just got pwned

It's obviously Paul W. S. Anderson's "Alien vs. Aliens"
by jackpumpkinhead
Come on, the second guy in the third picture has a Space Marine belt.
-
...from Die Hard 4: McClane on a Plane. "I've had it with these Mister Falcon terrorists on this Mister Falcon plane!"
-
Been there seen it done that on North by North-West, Catch-22, The English Patient, True Lies, Mission Impossible 3 and more.
When will Hollywood come up with some new set-pieces? -
The most boring month I've witnessed here at taintitcoolnoose. Is it always like this during the sundancing?
-
had to stunt my grammar there, to get that idea to fit.
-
makes sense to me. Damn, theres too much CGI in this movie - its Die Hard for fucks sake! Do you think Len Wiseman can ruin a good script? I can....
-
Does anyone know the rating for this movie?
A RATED R-Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker. or a RATED PG-13 Yippee-ki-yay, motherfraker.

Sorry for the double post
-
...in that last picture? It's the one this movie is jumping over...in a jet.
-
Pictures Removed at the Studio's Request?
-
so its only fair that part 4 rip off True Lies.
-
... he said he's glad he fell off that building so he didn't have to be in "Live Free or Die Hard."
-
There, I said it.
-
Team America 2:Fuck Yeah!!
-
Let's do this HAIR-FREE! Dye-ing makes my scalp itch!
-
It's the set of MISS CONGENIALITY 3: SNAKES ON A JET. Starring Sandra Bullock and Jan-Michael Vincent as Stringfellow Hawke
-
(bang!)
-
They could call this movie "12 Monkeys 2: Monkey Harder" and I'd be just as confused as I was the first time I saw the trailer for this movie. When I watched the trailer I got the impression that John Mclane got cancer & decided to fight spam on the internet during his last days. I don't know why, but that's what I got from it. Quite a departure from machine guns & Hans Gruber.
-
Tard Harder.' How hard is your tard?
-
Don't tell me you weren't thinking about it.
-
Looks like the guy from 12 Monkeys has decided to fight crime. Bollocks. Makes this look like one of Bruce's lamer recent movies, Hostage etc. Such a shame.
I love the Die Hard trilogy: the first one is the best action movie ever IMO. Len Wiseman better not fuck up Die Hard!!!
-
More importantly, will he fit in the cockpit?
-
now, that's some fuckin DIE HARD shit, there.
-
Simpsons movie = 65 year-old Indiana Jones trying to be 36 again
-
Die Hard In Name Only!!
-
hells yeah!
-
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
-
Set pics are pics of the sets - not photo shpped Airforce recruitment pamphlets! Whatever. Can't wait to see the real movie though!
-
can't wait, such a huge fan
-
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
Saints preserve us!
-
More limo-smashing action than you can shake a crime stick at!
-
No hair on McClane is total FUCKING BULLSHIT.
-
....DEMI MOORE!

He said he was never funny to begin with and to let him rest in piece.
-
"You go in pieces."
-
what does Die Hard 4 have to do with Die Hard?
-
Hokay. First picture is of dumpster. Bald One and I stood up on pile of crap and flicked cigarette butts over tarpaulin at photographer. For Kapitalist Pig, Bald One was damngood shot with cigarette butt (he got one down photographer's pants!). This was right before our big Ninja-fu fight when we needed nicotene. Second picture was of boat show at your local convention center. See very exciting crane. Last shot is real deal of fighter plane I try to fly up Bald One's ass. Mood: Dripping with sarcasm about exclusive photos here. Music: Samm Phillips "When Johnny Comes Marching Home."
-
If he did actually stuff his chubby ass into the cockpit, the cockpit canopy wouldn't fit over his huge head. Then, there'd be an entire extra disc in the dvd set with Smith explaining how difficult it was to get the cockpit canopy to close over his huge head as a zombified Jason Mewes stands near by attempting to gain his balance enough to stay in the shot.
-
it wants it's action movie back.
-
which is leaps and bounds better than what this movie will be. I guarantee.
-
and ruin BOTH franchises with one film? But no, theyhad to press ahead with a 4th Die Hard. And as if people wouldn't be doubting whether an aging Willis can still play the rough n' tumble action lead (I geuss he can. Better than Ford now anyway), they give the film a fuck subtitle that sounds like a Viagra ad. They'd have almost been better calling it "Die Harder on the Internet".
-
Don't know what the excuse is for the kid who looks like that other annoying guy from Saturday Night Live. No, not Adam Sandler, the other guy, newer than Sandler. Not fuckin Horatio Sanz, newer! Did that Red Sox movie with Drew Butterface. Ah, fuck it...
-
Replace Bruce Willis and Justin Long with Shawnee Smith (Abom's got me on a kick now) and Jessica Alba. Then rearrange the plot so that most of it takes place in a shower where the two leads have to fight their way out....but only after some sweet, sweet lovin'
-
Reboot the franchise with a "new" John McClane and call it "Die Hard Royale"
-
In his final quest to save the USA, John McClane's mission is to guide his son, who has recently acquired a mythical Ring of Power, to Mt Everest where it will be destroyed by Optimus Prime who's been silently narrating to himself for years, waiting for this moment. Oh, and FU MICHAEL BAY!
-
Cast Bobcat Goldthwaite as JOhn McClane. At leats the film will have some novelty comedic potential, instead of inducing the same effect as Nyquil.
-
Give the lead role in the story to Reginald Vel Johnson!! He can overcome his weight issues and a nagging wife and SAVE THE WORLD! Ok, maybe that one's not so much "better".
-
...they totally missed the opportunity to reunite Bruce Willis with HALEY JOEL OSMENT!!! He needs something positive in his life right about now.
-
seems they'll probably have given all the other A-listers their cameo roles by then. Maybe there's a spot for him? Or perhaps in Crash 2? It's mostly just a crash, but he'll be familiar with it. They'll re-cast his Saturn as an Escalade though. Hope he brings a foot stool
-
So it seems...
-
but the government doesn't want you to know about it!
-
Film at 11!
-
Dontcha know?
-
it's meant as mockery- both of the catchphrase AND the movie.
-
John McClane starts to go crazy thinking that he is a magnet for disaster or that he possibly just imagines all these scenarios where he saves the world from terrorists. He quits his job as a police man and starts accepting money from corporations to just go and hang out at their competitors buildings and attract disaster. He eventually ends up the CIA's bad luck charm and is sent to India where he causes the Tsunami that kills him.
-
She says her breasts are still large and pendulous enough to distract me during a climatic action sequence of film, but she's lost the perm.
-
(you know, the original movie. Bruce had hair, great script & director...oh, is it on dvd?)
And Kevin Smith needs to put his fat ankles on a diet! -
Bullshit! His job's three thousand miles away. Without him, we still have a chance of getting out of here.
-
...he said that Kevin Smith got run over by 12 trucks and was being stomped by Optimus Prime after that. He feels relieved, he told me.
-
I'd use the replign machine just to go back in time and give it to myself to use yesterday.
-
this TB is still on the Top Ten
-
Bonnie Bedillia's breasts are the topic of conversation in a talkback.
-
just 'cause that ad up on the right is disturbing and the trailer's annoying. Give me Golden Child 2 anyday...I think
-
b/c something bad sure has happened to her bod in the last decade.
-
...he said it annoys him to scratch the remains of K-Smith from his metal foot.
-
I Worked on the new DH4 and I gotta tell you all...About 90% of the spoilers and speculation are crap. I use to be one of you, buying into "inside info." After working in the movie biz for three years, I realize how full of crap some of spoilers really are. You had one guy who said that he caught spoilers from Patrick Tatopoulos's sketchpad. HE WAS WAY OFF on what he said he saw. After the movie comes out, check back at these spoilers and see how ridiculously made up they are. The only correct spoilers are the ones these hacks pull off of imdb.com. Hey, here's a spoiler...The guys at Fox are planning a John McClane vs. Transformers. Buy that and you're the reason hacks make up spoilers.
