International DIE HARD 4.0 Poster Online!

Published at:  Feb 28, 2007 6:21:50 AM CST

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

I wish Fox would just call it DIE HARD 4.0 everywhere.

I must admit... I’m looking forward to this. That international trailer last week looked good to me, and I’m in the mood for a no-shit action movie with Bruce Willis as McClane. This poster gets the look and the attitude right. I’m praying for this one to work.



Hi! Here is international DIE HARD 4.0 poster (beyond US this is an
official title).

    Live Free Or Die Hard is a fucking atrocious, embarassing title. I don't know of a single person who has had anything but a 'What the FUCK?!' reaction to it. Horrendous.

    The first movie worked because it had the Hitchcockian element of a normal guy facing extraordinary circumstances. Everything since has been just an action hero in an action movie.

    I liked Live Free Or Die Hard

    by franklin t marmoset

    It was no more ridiculous than Die Hard With A Vengeance, and it has a kind of overblown American arrogance to it that I like and seems to fit the Die Hard series. I am disappointed by this change. Die Hard 4, which is basically what it's called, is just too generic.

    I'm probably the minority here, but isn't the whole "version release" numbering thing getting the least bit old now? It's not beaten to death, but it feels like it will be by the end of the decade. That would be "Century 20.10" I guess.

    by edward_nygma

    Live Free Or Die Hard is as cheesily awesome as all the other titles have been. Think about it, Die Hard is already a cheesy title, but then with Die Harder and Die Hard With a Vengence they were getting more and more cheesy each time. Hearing that the film was gonna be called Live Free Or Die Hard was the first thing that got me a little excited about it. Now every time I hear Die Hard 4.0 I think zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    I think it works even better outside America. I'm not American and it sounds audacious and refreshing. To an American it probably just makes them feel slightly embarrassed about New Hampshire. "DIE HARD 4.0" is terrible; the ".0" thing has been lame since the 80s.

    by torture pwn

    They're obviously trying to make a Die Hard movie that they THINK fans want(mindless,contrived,cartoonish action) instead of what fans really want(action with purpose,and relatable characters).When will Hollywood actually listen to real people instead of just guessing what people want.Of course that's a rhetorical question since the obvious answer is a resounding NEVER.They want to make money but they have NO idea how much they COULD make if they just took the time to check out websites (like this one),use common(well,not in Hollywood)sense to weed out the assholes,and figure out how to make a movie that appeals to everyone WITHOUT sinking to the lowest common denominator.Fucking idiots.

    Live Free or Die Hard is great, because this series has always had ridiculous titles. The original's told you everything you needed to know about the film, while most people thought the sequel was actually called "Die Harder". And "Die Hard With A Vengeance"? Aside from being uninspired, why put the title "Die Hard Forty" on your poster- especially when many will already consider it one sequel too many?

    I see whatcha mean, but as with a lot of action genre movies, I'll be willing to suspend my disbelief at the coincidence of it all, given that the first three were pretty good (yes, the first one being the best). If it helps, just remember that it's been almost 20 years since Nakatomi for McClane, 17 since Dulles, and 12 going on 13 since New York. Given that his line of work puts him in harm's way, it's really not too unlikely that McClane could end up knee deep in a big pile of shit again.

    Torture, studios DID try and listen to websites like AICN, and all they got was Snakes on a Plane and Serenity, both of which bombed big time. The thing TBers don't understand is that they are a very, very, very small minority in the big picture. Studios make money off of the demographics across the board. That's why studios making movies like Transformers, etc. will change things up from the source material to reach a wider audience. Believe it or not, a shot of a dog peeing on what seems like an inanimate (sp?) object (really a badass Transformer) WILL get some laughs. It would be a waste of time and money to try pleasing everyone, especially the people here at AICN. Why not just sit back and let the movie speak for itself? Many will love it, many won't. Anyway, that poster kicks ass in my book.

    have to cater to every fanboy whim.Although I believe it is ENTIRELY possible to satisfy a larger number of people by reaching the fanbase first then branching out from there.The Spider-Man movies are a good example.Minus the pointless addition of the organic web-shooters and other minor changes it remained remarkably true to what made the character and mythology great in the 1st place and still became a blockbuster franchise.Also,good will to the fans breeds good word-of-mouth.Dumbing things down,while on the surface may sound like a good idea to make more money,how would your average person know "a dog pees on an inanimate object"(your example) beforehand and if they did would that and other stupidities be a selling point?You CAN appeal to fans and non-fans.It's been done before.As long as it's done well it should be successful.

    by moto

    Good point. Well said. I think it's more about the director and writers attached though and what they envision it as, not them trying to please anyone. No studio and no filmmaker will make a creative decision to please a fan base, they make those decisions based on their own vision. The best genre projects of this nature are those that have passionate directors and writers that grew up with the source material. But think back to Spider-Man and what you said about the differences they made in the story. Raimi made HUGE changes... the web slingers issue was far away from the source material, but it made sense. My point is, sometimes those creative choices (veering away from the source material) work (Spider-Man, Battlestar Galactica), and sometimes they don't. People complaining about Trasnformers and the new designs and what not just don't get it. Those changes need to be made. If filmmakers were to stick with source material like fan bases would like, the results wouldn't be that great. Okay, people complain about the human story of the upcoming Transformers movie (even though they haven't seen it, and have only read a very dated script). The human story of the source material was even worse, but since it came from the source material it's perfect then right? See my point? Changes always need to be made. I'm swaying from Die Hard I know. I guess my point is that studios can't and won't and don't worry about catering to a certain fan base. It's all about the filmmakers attached. If we get someone that understands what made the source material so popular in the first place, then we'll all be happy. If not, we're screwed. Bay and Spielberg (I know you never brought up Transformers... sorry) I'm sure they understand that hey, what made that cartoon so popular was the kickass theme of transforming robots at war with each other. They are making that movie. Anyone who says Transformers was more than that back in the 80s is ridiculous. Hopefully the creative choices/updates work. I see your point though.

    die hard : stay dead already

    by rdsxfan8

    i was a lil excited about this movie. I mean every good summer deserves a slew of cool actions movies, but seriously,arent there any new ideas out there ( I know I know if i can think of some ill let ya know) Im just saying. every yr lately we get these additions or remakes of movies that were good in there time but the sequels/prequels/remakes just ruin or taint the original source material.
    unless a movie leaves it open at the end for a sequel or its relevant to the plot to make a 2nd or 3rd film they should just get some younger writers or directors in hollywood to push some new ideas to the forefront.
    as for DIE HARD I kinda like the 2nd one ( the 1st one is still the best cuz it was fresh) but the 2nd one , with william sadler, and john amos in there, yeah it was pretty badass. I might have contradicted myself here, but I can admit that. im just saying no more die hards.... thats all

    "Die Harder" was not an official part of the sequel's title. Check the actual film and the final posters: it's just "Die Hard 2." The "Die Harder" thing was taken out a few months prior to release, though it was still used as a tagline.

    And I think some people are misunderstanding this post: the film is still called "Live Free or Die Hard" in the US.

    One thing I have always loved about Die Hard was that Bruce would always get the shit beaten through him then with a stoke of luck would spit out a one liner and kill the mother f*cker who was tearing into his ass. It doesn't look like we will get that kind of action in this new film so it won't feel like a Die Hard (it already does not) and will inevitably be rated PG-13.

    Yeah, but there's no basis for what you just said. How do we know that we won't get that kind of action in this new film? How do we know the rating will be PG-13?

    We've seen a trailer... a teaser... and that's it. There's not enough info to say otherwise. I don't understand where this whole TBer PG-13 Die Hard came from. BUT, I DO miss the original concept of Die Hard... McClane confined somewhere against a terrorist unit (i.e. he's on his own). The first one nailed that. The second one was DH in an airport to a certain extent, albeit with some help. The third one threw EVERYTHING out the window, concept and all and gave him some partner in Sam Jackson. Terrible. But I'll still hope to enjoy having McClaine back on the bigscreen... hopefully in the R Rated fashion. Thanks for the paragraph tip. See if it works...

    I've actually kind of gotten over Bruce's (lack of) hair issue for this movie. (Don't get me wrong, I still maintain he should have at least 16 Blocks level of hair to play the character) But the movie poster looks awesome. As much as the teaser trailer doesnt fit the series, this poster most certainly does. Incredible and definately fits any college dorm room wall.
    But they had BETTER not make this PG-13! How many jr. high students do they think are going to be crowding for this?? It's gonna be all of us college-aged or older going, and we want it rated R!!

    the number system spawning in the 70s and EXCESSIVELY USED in the 80s, i'm sorry but i like sequels to have their own original titles without it being in the title to remind us of. Star Wars, the Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi is what i call em, not IV,V,VI, SW:episode crap, Raiders of the Lost Ark sounds so awesome, now add on: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, talk about genericness. how many THIN MAN comedies were released in the 30s always had the words in some clever play-on title.
