You'll Never Believe How DIE HARD 24/7 Got Its Name...
Merrick here...
Last night, Harry posted a piece indicating that the long gestating DIE HARD 5 might be called DIE HARD 24/7 (HERE).
This prompted a correspondence from an...established creative talent within the entertainment industry. Someone known to AICN, who could feasibly be known to you as well if you heard his/her name... someone who drops AICN a line from time to time to offer welcomed clarity on frustratingly vague newsbits.
This time, she/he wanted to let us know how DIE HARD 24/7 got the name none of us seem to like. Ironically, what a few Talkbackers were joking about beneath Harry's article (linked above) turns out to be true.
At one point, The Powers That Be at Fox mulled an idea - DIE HARD 5 and the TV show 24 were to cross over. The intent was for Kiefer Sutherland to appear as Jack Bauer in an adventure with Bruce Willis' John McClane. Hence...DIE HARD 24/7.
Our dude/lady didn't know how much development was actually put into this notion, but she/he believes the project didn't pan out because Kiefer was more interested in launching his own 24 movie franchise (still said to be in the works) than doing buddy shtick in Bruce's already established series. Which leaves some questions. Are we just now getting wind of an older title that has since been abandoned? Did they keep the title because they thought it was good, but are using it for some entirely different DH sequel conceit? Or, if DIE HARD 24/7 is actually still in play as a title, is there still a specific reason for using it?
I'll be the first to admit that, at face value, this notion sounds like the pitiful ranting of a wizzened fanboy. Again, though, this comes from a source we view as reasonably credible. Is there a margin for error? Absolutely, but not too likely in this case. Food for thought and fun to speculate about. So, let you imaginations run wild...
We'll let you know if we hear anything else about this...

...of an even bigger non-story. I get that it is just to shed light on the rumour but it still reeks of a painfully slow news day.

I think Die Hard 4 killed the franchise. I don't think someone will actually step up and make a kickass Die Hard movie. just leave it alone. Unless they go The Expendibles route, it's just not going to be good. We don't want the A-Team from Die Hard. We want Die Hard.

Bauer or McClane? We definitely need a movie to decide. Get this made, Fox.

So I believe.

Its 4 sequels were/will be shitty cash grabs! Just sayin' Try harder Hollywood.
-
Along with Indy 5 rumors (debunked by other sources), and new Mortal Kombat movie (short only a viral for a new game, not a movie). This place is as accurate as a tabloid rag.
-
And, I'm glad that cross pollination-synergetic bullshit isn't happening. The last one aside, I'm a Die Hard fan. I've never seen 24. I don't give 24 fucks about Jack Bauer. And, to see him crowbarred into the Die Hard universe just because they're both under the Fox banner would have been fucking stupid.
-
Reboot coming soon with a young McClane, played by someone from Twilight, as we see how McClane became the man we now know...or something. They could even call it Die Hard Begins.
-
should TOTALLY happen.
Fuck fuck fuck! Make it happen, Fox!!! -
Spring for a black box and tell us what the deal is here. You probably won't, though, because you only came here when you were bored and depressed in your bachelor pad between marriages.

. . . the 7 part still wouldn't make sense. Maybe Morgan Freeman's Detective Somerset could have been the crotchety old guy yelling at their loose cannon ways. FUCKING RETARDED . . .

But I'd pay CASH MONEY in a heartbeat to watch a Jack Bauer/John McClane movie.

Whatever it will eventually be called, it will still be shit.

The plot of Die Hard 5 will revolve around a third Gruber brothe
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
Will be set in outer space, and McClane will team up with Al, Zeus, the janitor from 2, the kid from 4, Jack Bauer, and Ellis' love child to stop Dieter Gruber (played by Christophe Waltz) from stealing kryptonite from the MIR space station. McClane will also wear a ginger toupee in this one, because people complained about his baldness last time out.
-
That could be super fun.. except 2 guys the both break the rules.. for the greater good. seems hard.
-
Black & white slapstick comedy, John MacClane & Stan Laurel team up to beat Stan's evil fat former comedy partner ah shit I dunno
-
why not? both sucked in their last story thing so maybe combining them saves them from sucking more. like a threesome
-
Those two together would be unstopable!

I'd rather watch a Jack Bauer/Vic Mackey team-up
by crispin_glovers_acid_flashback
Remember when we were all hoping for that TV crossover?
-
If Jack Bauer and John McClane teamed up, it would be then end of action movies forever as there would be no more henchmen or bad guys left. If you were to add Brock Samson to their team, you could bring back every bad guy who ever lived from the dead in zombie form, and have the three decimate them in a movie.
-
Say that Gruber's father is made at McClaine and wants to kill him. Somewhere, Jack is investigating murders and Gruber's father and John come up. Jack goes to investigate John.

Except on Indian holidays.

I honestly can't decide who would win. Depends on the time frame. Vic is a genius planner, Bauer is quick on the spot.

McClane/Bauer would be the best thing ever made and if you disagree I will fight you IRL.

What the Hell man! Another Die Hard film? Really, Fox? Really? The only new Die Hard film coming out will be direct to video.

The second movie was terrble.

thats it thats all it takes
-
It's nearly impossible to maintain the tone of the original (and best) Die Hard at a PG-13 level. Dark Knight, Batman Doesn't kill and doesn't need to be graphic with the on screen violence. Joker was unsettling and it created an air of viciousness but no more than any monthly comic book. The First Die Hard was tinged with a certain realism. remember cringing when he gets the glass embedded in his feet? or tensing up when he leaps from the building. Very real pain was inflicted on John McClane and he was a city detective in over his head dealing with highly trained ruthless people. There was no guarantee he wouldn't be grievously injured. Nakatomi's head being blown over the glass cemented the reality that these people would do ANYTHING to get what they wanted (R). You were stuck in Nakatomi plaza with him and felt like you could BE HIM. Flipping cars, driving them into helicopters, fighting Karate master super models etc is so far removed from an sort of reality it's laughable. He swears, he kills. I dont think it will ever recover. Let sleeping dogs lie.
-
Sometimes the best way to honor the original film and restore the franchise to its former glory is to stop making shitty sequels.
A fresh 2 disc blue ray edition with an in-depth doc reuniting the original cast would be a step in the right direction. Much better than Die Hard: 5 X 5 or whatever the marketing department shits out.
Because these things always start out with the best of intentions (McClane/Jack Bauer crossover - even though it negates both men's One Man Against The World with Tech Support premise)and ends with Brett Ratner's Die Hard at Hardee's: Home of the Angus Beef. With Chris Tucker as Argyle Junior, McClane's new, wise-cracking sidekick. -
Just let him smoke, grow hair, and not jump on planes/surf dump trucks and I'll be content. DH1 classic, DH2 stupid but entertaining, DH3 pretty good but a stupid ending, DH4 ok if not for the fact it was supposed to be a DH movie...
-
We're running out of time to join the party. Nah.
-
Obviously, not the only one with it. But I posted my Die Hard 24 idea in these talkbacks a few times...complete with synopsis. Search it! I dare you! Regardless, it's a potentially great idea - stupid Kiefer!

Maybe team up McClane with Ash while you're at it.
Jokey John McClane with icy Jack Bauer sounds like a poor match that will be lose-lose middleground. Not funny enough for DIE HARD, but too much levity for 24. -
Now, that I'd watch 24/7
-
Hollywood is truly learning. I have heard better ideas posting in TBs than in 50% of what is being churned out.
-
just wants to shoot him.
-
Suppose there could be a plot reason, but it seems pretty stupid, especially since it confuses things with another of the company's own properties.Then again, this is Fox...
-
The two franchises have completely different styles, as do the actors. In real life Bauer would just shoot McClane after 10 minutes to shut him up.
-
...is realy not bad at all. Just try and forget they went PG13 and the film is very enjoyable as a Die Hard movie with quite intende action and fight scenes to be fair, i actually like it better than 'Vengeance'
-
McClane gets wrapped up in a military mission, and begrudgingly has to team up with Casey Ryback to get the job done.I'm completely serious, I would LOVE to see this happen!!

For a liong time, i spoke meta+phorically how holywood was infested with fucking dumb ass morons. But now it seems that is just the honest truth, Holyuwood is indeed infested with dumb ass fucking braindead morons. The legacy of JJ Abrams, ladies and gentleman.

Yeah it's a far cry from the total outlandishness of the last two flicks in the series but anybody who says the first one is any kind of realistic is retarded as hell.

McClane is assigned the task of capturing Jack Bauer. Bauer was still an ooouuutttlllaaawww at the end of the series finale, right?

-
as with any action films, the realism is relative. The great thing about Die Hard wasn't that it exactly mimicked real life, but that compared to the overstuffed, cheesy action films of the eighties, Die Hard brought a sense of realism. McClane only kills a handful of guys, as opposed to the hundreds of men Schwarzenegger might go through in a single film. He also managed to look and act like he could get hurt at any moment.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love me some absurd eighties action films, but because of its relative realism, Die Hard makes an audience feel as if there is something at stake. Even if we know better, there is a part of us that thinks McClane could buy it at any time. They completely forgot this lesson for the last Die Hard and treated the character like a rubber doll. -
McClane being in an 27/7 Assisted Living Center.
-
I think Die With a Hard-On would be the best title. I've been waiting for that title ever since the first sequel was announced.
-
might as well throw Morgan Freeman & Brad Pitt into the mix too. Cameo from Slash (GNR) to play The Slash.
-
John McClane killing terminators.
-
This is what it should be called, it would be the perfect ending to the series
-
Years ago I read a PREMIERE article that used the above conceit as an example to talk about development. I've wanted to see it ever since then. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

In which STALLONE directs and WILLIS revives McClane one more time to star with SEAGAL (reviving his "Hard to Kill' character) against global French-Algerian terrorist VAN DAMME (played by you-know-who), with LUNDGREN and STALLONE in supporting good-guy roles, reviving their EXPENDABLE characters. Cameos by Eric ROBERTS as head of the Italian Mafia and SCHWARZENEGGER as head of the U.N. MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

that title is a double pun on both UNIVERSAL SOLDIER and FOX's war against UNIVERSAL Studios' BOURNE franchise -- because Damon would never agree to cameo in this shit!

Die Hard is sacred hardcore adult action(atleast it used to be)! 24 is watered down TV wannabe fare, McClane and Bauer do not live in the same fucking universe. Am I wrong?

Go back to being R rated, with Jacks kills becoming more hardcore on the big screen.
Have thee be a new president in office who wants to bring Jack to justice.
The president has made a backroom deal with Russia to allow Jack to be extradited to Moscow to stand trial for killing Russian diplomats.
The President of Russia is in the US to sign a new treaty to ally against Iran and to formally clear the Russian delegation of any wrongdoing in the death of President Slumdog.
In Jacks investigations overseas he learns that Russia is still bankrolling Iran through back channels and is even helping their nuclear program. The goal is to drop a nuke on Israel via flotilla. :)
Jack kidnaps the Russian president and holds him hostage. Demanding that he expose the Russian going ons with Iran.
And thats a job for John McClane.
Of course at the end John would realize that Jack is right and the Russians have to be stopped for the sake of the Jews. They control his movie career after all.

John McClane is called in when a terrorist named Dioxholster returns after it is thought he died, and holds the President hostage until more people watch Stargate Universe.His second-in-command is a soldier called Asimov who was also believed to be dead, but actually lives. Asimov has his own agenda, targetting several high profile movie directors.The scenes between Dioxholster and Asimov would consist of the two talking over one another about the only topics they're interested in (Stargate and bad JJ Abrams movies respectively), and never listening to anything that anyone else says.

-
damn it you beat me to the punch.
-
Like normal fucking people, instead of trying to be clever all the time. You've run out of phrases to put Die Hard into. Die Hard 2: Die Harder, while a great title, pretty much says it all. With A Vengeance was a coup. Live Free or Die Hard is an awful, forced title. DIe Hard 24/7 is even worse. Do they honestly think they'll sell more tickets with a kitschy title? Unless they go all out, and personally, I would enjoy Die Hard All Over Your Face, or something like that, but honestly. How about DIe Hard V? Or, even wilder, just fucking call it Die Hard again. Who cares.
-
Hey, prosecutors, drop the case. Give me one reason why proving John McTiernan is not above the law is more important than a chance to have another good Die Hard movie. See, you can't, because there is no good reason. You're not prosecuting people who lied us into war and tortured and spied on people, guilty and innocent alike, but you are prosecuting whistleblowers who tried to show how the U.S. government was breaking the law during this so-called war on terror. So don't tell me you need to prosecute John McTiernan. John McTiernan needs to be making Die Hard, and you need to be going after the people who are actually destroying civilization.

They should've saved this title for the seventh "Die Hard."
by triple_j_72
Which we all know is coming anyway. LOL ... Would've been a bit more catchy.
-
A prequel about Hans Gruber and some of his early work. It could be a suspenseful heist film, more in line with the first Die Hard, except Hans is the main character.Also, I agree with those of you that say Die Hard 24/7 should be saved for the 7th film.
-
50 Cent & Bruce Willis teamup to fight the Gruber clan & Murda Inc.
-
Willis and Chow Yun Fat team up to fight people who think Chow is a martial arts expert.
-
Bruce Willis & Rick Springfield team up to fight whatever destroyed Springfield's career.
-
I'm surprised at myself, but it could work as 24 has a certain grit I'd like to see returned to Die Hard...
-
And bring back Bonnie Bedelia and William Atherton.
-
in which Walter B stands confronting the camera for two hours, interrogating Tom Rothman and FOX Studios, and comparing their scatological and no doubt dissimilar opinions on the DIE HARD franchise. With a cameo by Les Grossman.
-
I Like Die Hard 24/7 as a Title, of course it would work better as the 7th sequel!!!!
-
Is that one taken yet?
-
in which John McClane meets Walter B meets Bruce's character from THE EXPENDABLES. Yeah, that's right, I want to see Bruce do something meta.
-
..No?
-
to get the furry-footed movie into production...
-
A loose remake of Hard Boiled, featuring Bruce as the cop and Chow Yun Fat as the undercover gangster. Second half of the movie features the duo stuck in a hospital packed with bad guys.
Domestically lacks the appeal of 24, but think about global impact. -
...actually, that's more like a Japanese title... in which McClane must team up with the FANTASTIC FOUR...that's one way to reboot a franchise!
-
How about -- DIE HARD: KING'S RANSOM, in which WOO digs out his old unproduced script and adapts it for McClane and Fat?
-
A globe-hopping Die Hard could be fun.
-
In the opening set piece John McClane, while meaning well, destroys so much city property whilst taking down some baddies that he is sentenced to do hard time. So basically we'd get Die Hard in a prison when the inmates riot and take over the joint, forcing McClane to team up with some other inmates and the prison guards to thwart the prisoner that is leading the riot.
-
John Mcclne becomes a rock star
-
John Mcclane goes to prison?
-
If you think about it, the first Die Hard was the best, being contained in the Nakatomi building. This would be a way to do something more like that again, where the other 3 sequels had McClane running all over the place like a mad man.

So many fans had this specific idea, it's in the zeigeist. Protecting a witness in an under siege facility. Fox should catch up.

I remember a billion years ago Bruce Willis talking about how he wanted the Die Hard movies to homage to 70's disaster movies.
Die Hard would be/was The Towering Inferno
Die Hard 2 would be/was The Airport movies
Die Hard 3 would be The Poseidon Adventure.
But then Under Siege beat them to the punch on the Poseidon Adventure thing and things just fell apart.

On the other hand we have McClane, who is a badass, who can shoot well, who can brawl a bit, who spends nearly half of his time in those movies bleeding to death. I can understand kiefer for turning that down. His character is so much better than the die hard series but his own name value would force him to play second fiddle to willis. Should not happen, as much as I would like to see a crossover, but Jack Bauer is too good a character to be wasted as a sidekick for the bruce.
-
Sometimes ya just can't say NO !!!!
-
If he play second fiddle to only Stallone. Everyone should play second fiddle to Stallone. Even Jack bauer.
-
Bruce Willis as Die Hard, Keifer Southland as 24 and Jeri Lynn Ryan as Seven?
-
I always get old chipmonk cheeks mixed up with East Clintwood.
-
so you know that the studio execs had to be seriously considering it at some point.Just let both vehicles bow out respectably, if not gracefully, please.
-
I actually posted that such a thing was going to happen on the Internet 12 years ago as a joke.......and some dumb twat out there actually believed me, LOL!
-
He sucks.
-
THE HARD KNIGHT *ZING*
-
- because Bauer, and the 24 series (although pretty crazy sometimes) are rooted in some sort of harsh reality world, whereas the Die Hard series has more of a humorous action apporoach. Just cant see those two characters meeting up. It would be a shame for both franchises.
-
5ieHard: The Jack is back. Or have a Die hard Kardashian sister crossover, and call it Die Hard retard.

McClain joins the Hawaii police force.
"Aloha, m***er f***er!" -
ughhhhh

Speaking of how lame Die Hard has become, what's up with this rumor that The Expendables may be released to theaters as a PG-13 flick? Boo.

Throw baseballs at him until you hit the target. Jesus this franchise should have died so long ago.
-
Was that it was a dumbed down kid-friendly version of Die Hard 3. You went from balls to the wall bad-ass chain smoking McClane to sarcastic to cool for school McClane, you went from Samuel L. fucking Jackson to Justing fucking Long (enough said) and you went from Jeremy Irons to that guy who starred in that Hitman movie...

While having his anus fingered by Tony Leung. And he loves every minute of it. True story.

Like DH4 wasn't over the top enough someone said, "Oh, I know! Let's put McClane and Bauer together! I'm sure we could come up with some zany adventure for the two of em!" These fuckers need a bullet to the head Takagi style.

Let's face it will most likely come out in 3D. So the sucky title will apply. Studio executives gotta eat!
-
Stay hard, play hard, die hard!
-
Just a Chinese rumor as of now. Laced with lethal doses of lead.
-
It happened in the Die Hard universe (it's referenced in Die Hard 4), but it apparently never happened in the 24 universe (because it was never referenced, anyway).
-
Let's just make it a menage-a-twat and throw Dirty Harry into the mix. Then Snake Plissken shows up in the last scene and smokes all three of 'em.
Hell, I'd rent it. -

is seriously an action movie masterpiece with pathos and one ridiculously fucking tight screenplay. It is a marvel of plot construction, direction, acting, casting, lighting, use of a location... it hits so hard on all cylinders that even 20+ years later it makes most of today's action movies look like they need a baby pacifier or should be shown on a double bill with an episode of Teletubbies. The sequels (even 4), to me, are above average action movies, but nowhere near the lightning in a bottle that was the original. Just leave it the fuck alone unless you're really going to try to come up with an airtight screenplay that somehow reinvigorates the genre (and I mean action movies, not just Die Hard) which I think could be done by going back to what made the original work. I think pure action movies that don't star comic book heros are not in a good spot right now and a lot of it has to do with the casting of namby pamby pretty boy actors, bad scripts, too much CG, crazy stunts rather than down-to-earth gritty action that HURTS. The casting is a result of an obsession with youth or, at the very least, actors that, while they're very talented, can never be more than a cipher for the audience (I'm thinking Jake Gyllenhal, even though I actually like him as an actor) rather than a whole person... an actor that give an iconic performance like Stallone, Willis, or Arnold.

I was even catching "The Blues Brothers" the other night and had forgotten how epic that climactic car chase was...ALL WITH REAL CARS. Even in a movie like that where it wasn't even serious...there was SERIOUS ACTION. I was just watching that in awe, going in my head, "GOD I'M SICK OF CG!" (...from most directors, at least)

Die Hard ala Terry Gilliam
-
McCLANE: I see dead people.MAC GUY: Yeah, you killed them.
-
Somehow, I think it could be interesting if they tied Die Hard into Wall Street. Not the Micheal Douglas film, but the real life Wall Street and New York's financial district. It would certainly be topical.
-
Cheech: So hey John, were they psychos?McClane: Psychos don't explode when sunlight hits them.
-
John McClane seems to be stuck in a loop.
-
Where John McClane is thrust backwards in time to the day JFK was assassinated.Extra points if they can also tie this idea with Die Hard Does Dallas.
-
John McClaine must team up with Michael Douglas and Zeus Carver when they get trapped in Wall Street during a hostage crisis.
-
Dubai might be an interesting location as well as a change of pace.Maybe instead of going to prison, McClane quits or is fired from the NYPD and goes to the Middle East to work as a bodyguard for executive VIPs. Then naturally he gets caught up in the middle of some big conspiracy and has to save the day once again.
-
for the 5th film.Then they can do Die Hard Route 66 for the 6th film (Die Hard as a road movie). Maybe instead just call part 6 Die Hard On The Road. Then use Die Hard 24/7 as the title for the seventh film.That's how you do it folks.20th Century Fox... I expect 3 checks in the mail by the end of the week. Or should I invoice you guys? In fact, let's have lunch and hit up a titty bar afterwards. Sound good?

And he licks the anus like eating ice cream.
