Bruce Willis is Talking Back - So Here's A TalkBack To TalkBack With Him about DIE HARD 4

word up by JeanLuc Dickhard	May 9th, 2007 06:48:30 PM
yeah
Third! by Rogue Planet	May 9th, 2007 06:49:49 PM
Okay, not third...but I tried!
hey how come john doesnt have hair ? by JeanLuc Dickhard	May 9th, 2007 06:49:58 PM
that kinda got to me
Whoa, I just watched the NO EXIT episode of Miami Vice by odysseus	May 9th, 2007 06:50:42 PM
Hey Bruce.... You were great in that episode. A classic! Anyway, I hear you think the new DIE HARD is the best of the bunch. True, or hype?
Villian? by ethalwasatree	May 9th, 2007 06:54:44 PM
Ok, so the Die Hard Trilogy has a good run of some of the most badass villians in movie history (except the guy in the second one, he was kind of a tool). How does the villian in this one add up?
Bruce Willis...Da Man, or, DA MAN?! by Rogue Planet	May 9th, 2007 06:56:09 PM
I'm leaning towards, DA MAN!!! Loved the first Die Hard films (the first one is, in both my own humble opinion and the opinion of many on these boards, the very best in American action films. It's the gold standard of blowin' stuff up in style. Loving it. Got it on DVD, and it was the first disc I bought when I got my very first DVD player. You bring real heart to the character of John McClane, and I hope he hasn't hardened too much by this film. It was McClane's sense of humor that made him a real standard amongst the Stallone and Ah-nold characters in action cinema at the time. He's a good guy, we like to see him win. Oh, yes, the question: how do you keep John McClane fresh and interesting in this film? Obviously, he's an old favorite, and folks have gotten pretty used to him...what did you do to keep him new? Seal him in plastic? Add Oregano? Lighten him up? Harden him down? All that. Also, when are you going to do more comedy, man? Any plans for the return of Bruno? Take care, be well, pet the kitty. - T
DIE HARD 2 by Leafy McPlantsalot	May 9th, 2007 06:57:09 PM
Die Hard 1 is basically considered on of the best in not the best action film ever made. i think 2/3 of Die hard 3 are very good as well. Can't stand Die hard 2, though it was the standard action crap. That being said, Why is John Mctiernen not directing Die hard 4? did Roller Ball rip out his movie making soul?
Your Summer Reco? by xreticent	May 9th, 2007 06:57:09 PM
Aside of "live free or die hard" (by the way, do you prefer die hard 4.0?) what summer blockbuster are you looking forward to the most?
Bruce your the Man!!!!!/Die Hard 4 by BrightEyes	May 9th, 2007 06:57:25 PM
fuck pg-13 man
Bruce...about you and Stallone in INGLORIOUS BASTARDS? by ABking	May 9th, 2007 06:57:35 PM
Mr. Willis, you kick all sorts of ass and I can't wait for DIE HARD 4.0 even if I hate the new PG-13 rating! Anyway, me question(s)to you are a)will you team with Stallone to do TARANTINO'S Inglorious Bastards... b) do you think Arnold will come back to films once his second term is up? True Lies 2 could be his Die Hard like franchise...and c)are all three of you (Sly and Arnold) partners in that new PLANET HOLLYWOOD CASINO?
I Hope, I Pray by Mr. Winston	May 9th, 2007 06:58:41 PM
I realize these Talkbacks are going to be generally about LFODH, but my respect level for Willis will blow through the roof if he's willing to address an entire series of questions on MOONLIGHTING or THE RETURN OF BRUNO. Specifically - and, I might add, selfishly - I'd like to know just what inspired the dance moves from the music videos from the latter. If he's even half as self-deprecating and forthright as Stallone this is going to be a ball. "It's alright...s'ok...I need a pep talk."
Harry, you stirred a lot of shit by taking this long by Bob C. Cock	May 9th, 2007 06:59:18 PM
there were some very strongly worded posts aimed at BW for a while before he took it upon himself to link up and video chat with someone. and WalterB, do you really think the rating will stay where it's at, or that the studio might get all nice out of nowhere and give it the R that everyone wants (blood, kicks to the head, lacerations and filthy wife-beaters)?
We'll always have 32511 by BitterMan23	May 9th, 2007 07:00:20 PM
Bruce has answered several of my ?s so I shall take a break. But I say again: GREATEST DAY ON THE INTERNET.

Live Free or Die Hard is the summer movie of 2007 by IndyCollector	May 9th, 2007 07:03:07 PM
For me anyway. I'm looking forward to this more than Spider-Man 3, Harry Potter, Pirates, Rush Hour 3, etc. The trailer has me sold and I love the first three and can't wait for this to come out. I absolutely love the title and think it's a perfect fit for the franchise. Thanks for giving us another one Walter B.
Now I have a machine gun....Ho Ho Ho by Jubba	May 9th, 2007 07:03:31 PM
Please let there be this kind of elevator-scene coolness in Die Hard 4. Bruce, you rock.
My question. by epitone	May 9th, 2007 07:04:46 PM
You're Bruce Willis. You've proven yourself as a highly popular and bankable star in both popcorn fare and more dramatic films. In the process you must have made about enough money to put roughly all of L.A. county through college and grad school. The point being, financially and creatively, you've earned the right to do only the films you really want to. So why do yet another Die Hard? More to the point, why do yet another Die Hard without John McTiernan? A fourth film following a successful trilogy is always a dicey proposition, but adding in a mostly untested director (only responsible, so far, for a couple of poorly received genre flicks) seems like asking for trouble. If it was just for the money, then I'm sure you'll find a diplomatic way of saying so, but if there was another strong reason for making this film happen I'd be interested to hear it.
yeah bitterman23 by RedEyeDistrict	May 9th, 2007 07:04:49 PM
it was cool having that kinda exclusivity for a while. Its gonna be insane now though. 32511 = GREATEST TB OF ALL TIME
You know what film of Walter B's is really underrated? by filmicdrummer17	May 9th, 2007 07:06:19 PM
Bandits. I adore that movie. Also The Fifth Element, in its own cheesy/psychotic way.
Please tell me Die Hard 4 isn't going to suck! by anchorite	May 9th, 2007 07:06:50 PM
The first Die Hard movie was one of the best movie-going experiences of my life. Easily in the top three. The second Die Hard? Not so much. It suffered from the dreaded sequel-itis so many other films succumb to. The third Die Hard was a lot of damn fun. Not perfect, but still a enough great action, characterization, dialogue and attitude to keep it in the same echelon as the first. The stuff I have heard regarding this fourth installment has me very skittish. There are hundreds of action movies that have come along since Die Hard. But few have even come close to approaching its perfect combination of character, setting, story and feel. Please reassure me that Live Free, Die Hard is going to be up to the Die Hard standard. I want you to have a huge hit on your hands so that you can return to your rightful place of Badass American Action Star. You deserve it!
Bruce, I thought your segment of FOUR ROOMS rocked. by Hercules	May 9th, 2007 07:07:06 PM
I want to know if you share my ardor.
Burning question bruce Kevin Smith/Jersey Girl/dh4 by BrightEyes	May 9th, 2007 07:07:56 PM
Kevin Smith has talked about how he tried to get you to be in Jersey Girl but you never got back to him or ben affleck,I was kind of suprissed to see you guys work together since I thought there could be some Drama since you worked with Kevin Smith this time, did you guys talk about it? and what was the deal with why you never got back to Kevin Smith about Jersey Girl? Thanks Sir
My girlfriend's mom said I couldn't date her cause... by dead youngling	May 9th, 2007 07:09:20 PM
...I reminded her of Bruce! True story! Mom didn't like the "vibe" that Bruce gave off and said I had the same sorta mojo. 15 years ago, but still totally funny. Props to Bruce...and we dated secretly. And totally unrelated, I my wife's nickname is Rumor. You the man, David Addison! Concerned about PG-13, but I'll be there. Good luck!
That is awesome... Bruce, you're the best. by modlight	May 9th, 2007 07:10:07 PM
God I hope he read that. If I met you in person, how long could I hug you before it got weird?
Damn...Bruce is here! by Rich Malone	May 9th, 2007 07:11:04 PM
What's going on Bruce? That's too cool that you actually get on the computer and chat with the rest of us instead of making a Geffrey-type butler do it...Anyway, looking forward to the next installment of Die Hard...Me and my boy used to watch all three religiously, nothing like seeing Mr. Big Bad John McClaine fuck some baddies up while cracking jokes about em' at the same time...Anyway. congrads on still being recognizable in today's action movie world, many of your piers failed to make the leap....let us knwo the things that you hate that talkbackers and normal audiences percieve about you Hollywood types (Joking), some of the things that make you think "if only these fucks knew what I have to go through on a day-to-day"....I know you got tons of those.....Is McClaine your favorite character? Or is it someone we might never have guessed? I graduated from college with a actor's minor, hoping to make the leap to the profession...what was your road like? Also, props for producing that film with Queen Latifah about Hip Hop, it shows that people can actually determine that there is good and bad within the genre (will we get to see you spit a couple bars in it too?) Hope I haven't asked too much, but it was cool to get the chance to rap' with you for a minute. Be cool.....

We finally got these pics as proof earlier cuz it took a while to get confirmation from the higher ups. Understandably so considering Harry's got the wedding thing and Mori is suspicious of posts that aren't black boxed. Once these posted though, man, it blew the fuckin roof OFF of the other TB!!!
Skipping Stones by SoylentMean	May 9th, 2007 07:12:44 PM
Hola. I remember reading an interview you did in some magazine about how, if you wanted to, you could just sit and skip stones for the rest of your life. Do you ever just feel like saying "Screw this, I don't need to do this anymore"? Csse in point-if Live Free or Die Hard gets the pussy goat-13 it will be like one helluva kick to the scrote for Die Hard fans. Die Hard was one of the most important "movies I wasn't supposed to watch" as a child (partly for its restricted rating) and now the rumor (that bastard child or truth) is going around about the kiddy friendly rating for the fourth Die Hard film. Does all this tip-toeing about the MPAA make you want to just go get a big bag of rocks and find a nice quiet pond to let loose upon? I mean how do you put up with all of this studio bullshit?
last question by BrightEyes	May 9th, 2007 07:12:48 PM
what do you think of the David O Russel/Lilly Tomlin video???
Sin City 2 by Tarantinoholic	May 9th, 2007 07:12:50 PM
Bruce, I've heard that Frank Miller wrote a new segment regarding the character of Nancy in Sin City 2. Has RR contacted you about coming in and filming any flashback scenes or anything?

Mr. Willis! HARD DYING by AdamJMcClane	May 9th, 2007 07:15:56 PM
Mr. Willis, I know there will be a thousand messages on this page by the time you read it, but I wanted to talk about this: I have been a HUGE fan of the Die Hard movies for a while and I love old-school action heroes like yourself. I wrote a script and got my friends together and made a movie called "Hard Dying" It was based off of a quote I read from you saying that people were pitching you movie ideas saying "It's like Die Hard in a..." I came up with the most obscure possible place, a playground. Im shaking right now just thinking you might possibly even read this post(I know, what a dork). Of course I played McClane Anyway, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =TkMBLL2zPpg My take on "Yippe-Ki-Yay Mother Fucker" "Yippe-Skippey-Jerk Face" I cannot wait for LFODH! I will probably see it multiple times on opening day. Thanks for your time! Adam

Sequel to 'The Last Boy Scout'? by jimmythesnake5	May 9th, 2007 07:18:34 PM
The Die Hard trilogy is fantastic (every one of them), but I'm sure everyone here will talk it to death. What I want to know is, although it didn't do great financially, was there early talk of doing a sequel? Were you happy with how it turned out and disappointed that it wasn't the success Die Hard was?
And please, no more Striking Distances, Color of Nights by anchorite	May 9th, 2007 07:18:48 PM
or Hostages. Let's stick with the good stuff from now on, okay? And if you have any choice in the matter, please fire the architect and interior designer(s) of the Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas. They completely missed the mark in pretty much every way imaginable. Hollywood glamour? I sure as hell don't see it. I hope to god (maybe even with a G) that you won't lose money on this deal.
Whoops.. by Tarantinoholic	May 9th, 2007 07:18:53 PM
I didn't realize this thread was for LFoDH specifically. Anyway, what was it like working with Tim Olyphant, Bruce? I think he's one of the most talented, but underused, actors working in the biz today.
A question by rhcp2sweet	May 9th, 2007 07:18:58 PM
Bruce I think it's great that your talking back to your fans and that more movie stars should do it. My question is what is the full story behind you getting the John McClane role, because I know at first the studio was very cautious to cast you in the role.

Who would you beat with an honorary Oscar? by SoylentMean	May 9th, 2007 07:20:29 PM
I'm thinking once my generation gets old enough (and powerful enough) that you and Sam Jackson will one day end up with an honorary Oscar (barring an actual win, who knows maybe the Academy will stop sucking). I hear that naked golden statue has some actual heft to it (and therefore could be a perfect and unexpected bludgeon). Are there any smarmy, hoighty-toighty Hollywood types you'd like to wail on with that oh so meaningful trophy? I'd nominate that dick from New Line who won't let Peter Jackson make The Hobbit. Welcome to the randomness of AICN.
Bruce Motherfucking Willis? Let's Address An Issue... by The Ender Smites Foes	May 9th, 2007 07:21:01 PM
Die Hard 4. We've all seen the trailer. In fact whenever it comes on my friends and I scream "FUCK EM UP BRUCE! FUCK EM UP!" Right in the theater, usually a theater full of pussies, but regardless, the trailer is a digitally projected boner for anyone who enjoys movies that kick ass. But how much ass can it kick if it's PG-13? PG-13? I can't deal with it.You can not let them Pussify this movie. Look at 300, it's rated R, and it made tons of money for the studios. Is Fox missing a screw? Rated R Die HArd is a no brainer. It's like a rated G James Bond. You've got Yippie Ki Ay's to Motherfuck! Don't let them do it!
MY QUESTION FOR YOU BRUCE WILLIS by Gwai Lo	May 9th, 2007 07:21:18 PM
I haven't bothered to read the talkbacks yet, I'd rather get this in there early. Here is my question. If you never became an actor, do you think there is a slight chance you would have been a cop?
Would you ever do a Hudson Hawk sequel? by kikuchiyoboy	May 9th, 2007 07:23:30 PM
I really dug that film. It's like your Indy Jones/Night Thief film. But nobody beats James Coburn. "At the time, I was bald with a beard, no moustache, and I had a different nose, so if you don't recognize me. I won't be offended" Oh. And nobody beats Butterfingers. Hee hee. I'd love to see a movie with just those two characters.

Unbreakable by gimba2323	May 9th, 2007 07:25:54 PM
BWub - Unbreakable is one of my top ten movies of all time. (You must feel an extreme amount of pride to have reached that pinnacle in your career) - I have read, not recently, that there was talk that M Night wanted to do a sequel - any truth to this? What did you think of the film? Would you want to do a sequel? David Addison rocks.

DH is easily in my Top 5 all-time favorite films and hope DH4 lives up to the hype -- I psyched myself up too much for DH3 and was underwhelmed, except for the elevator scene when you blow everyone apart... Can you list your top 5 DH moments out of the first three films -(obviously, don't include DH4 since we haven't seen it yet)

Wow, this is so cool. Bruce Willis talking to us here on AICN! I'll defiently being seeing LFODH since he's been telling us how awesome it is, PG-13 rating or not! But heres a question for you, Bruce: What was it like working with Kevin Smith? I know he was excited because hes a big fan of yours and was finally getting to work with you, but how did you feel work with him? Would you ever do anything else with him again? Thanks for your time Bruce! PS- More Hudson Hawk and Unbreakable!
Does PG-13 = no hanging Carl by Lemo	May 9th, 2007 07:28:51 PM
I love the first Die Hard for what it was. Regular guy gets his ass kicked hard while saving the world. It is the first time I remember seeing a movie the hero doesn't just rise up and pick everyone off while remaining unscathed. I appreciate that "realism". But..... here's my beef. Aside from "yippee ki yay mother fucker" would the MPAA allow the classic scene walking across the broken glass or Carl hanging from the stairwell in a PG-13 flick? I'm not asking for Planet Terror, but I loved the grittiness of the first Die Hard. And if I was jumping out of a windo holding onto a firehouse, I would likely yell "fuck" as well (and also piss myself).
How tight is it? by ghj	May 9th, 2007 07:29:46 PM
One thing that I love about the original Die Hard -- it's a straightforward action movie with a simple premise and a tight structure. Will the new film follow that formula?
By those two characters by kikuchiyoboy	May 9th, 2007 07:30:27 PM
I meant Eddie and Butterfingers. To think of Hudson Hawk stuck with someone like that sounds like fun.

Indeed this was the coolest by turketron	May 9th, 2007 07:30:58 PM
This was the coolest thing I've ever seen happen on this site. I'm not going to write the movie off just because it's PG-13 now. Anyway, this night will be capped off by an astounding episode of Lost, mark my words, but that is neither here nor there. Hopefully he'll be back again to shoot the shit with us from time to time.
reminds me of when I used to piss off my classmates by modlight	May 9th, 2007 07:31:15 PM
in film school and insist that there were no good films made before 1988 because Die Hard set the bar so high. I would just sit and watch these film nerds stew at the audacity of my comment. Of course I like movies before then, but it was worth it to watch their efforts to shout out the most mainstream classic pics "The Godfather! Citizen Kane! I know you love Star Wars!" And I would just sit back and roll my eyes. Artists are so easy to piss off.

Mr. Willis, by mrfan	May 9th, 2007 07:33:39 PM
Just wanted to say hi, thanks for coming here, and answering questions like mine. I was wondering if you would ever consider doing a musical or biography of a musician? If it is a biography then who would it be? Also, would you be interested in doing a sequel to Unbreakable? Thanks and congrats on DH4. Looking forward to it.
Walter, what do you think of Fifth Element? by patiomensch	May 9th, 2007 07:33:59 PM
Personally, it's one of my favorite films and I've seen it a bunch of times. Are you a fan of this, your own film? Even Chris Tucker's part? I ask because I don't know too many other people who love it, and you've been forthcoming with opinions on your other films. Also......... (1) Are you in favor of a sequel to UNBREAKABLE, or doesn't it need one? (2) What do you think of M. Night's recent "Lady in the Water" debacle? Are you pals with him? (3) And lastly, I asked this in the last talkback but I think it got lost in the mix... what was it like guesting on Friends?
By the way, thank God that review with laughing... by JackPumpkinhead	May 9th, 2007 07:34:19 PM
...involved Kurt Russell rather than Bruce Willis. Otherwise this talkback would've been all about looking to the left and seeing Bruce Willis laughing. Still, at least there would've been plenty of laughs, so I guess it would be okay. Eh?
Bruce - Honestly, what did you think of Die Hard 3? by Jugdish	May 9th, 2007 07:34:58 PM
I think the 1st two were great, however the 3rd installment was a bit off, ( box office receipts don't lie) What is your opinion?
Question about DIE HARD 4????? by Mdot1985	May 9th, 2007 07:35:56 PM
Youve been in some type of fucked up situation in an Elevator in every single Die hard(Die hard 3 being my favorite one). It seems like the new elevator scene is going to be amazing. Does it measure up to the others ones and could you give some hints on how that scene goes down????. Thanks
Do you still have feelings of guilt Bruce... by Vicenzo	May 9th, 2007 07:35:57 PM

WalterB - I am a proud Hudson Hawk fan! by ShiftyEyedDog2	May 9th, 2007 07:36:04 PM
Hawk gets SO much undeserved hate and bashing, but myself and all my friends have loved it from opening day - so much that when it started tanking we went and saw it several more times knowing it wouldn't be in theaters long. It's different, for sure, but a hell of a fun flick methinks. What are your thoughts on Hawk after all these years?
Walter B! Big fan... by havocSchultz	May 9th, 2007 07:36:36 PM
always have been...always will be...and if you wanna talk to the true film fans/lovers/supporters/non-hat ers come on over to The Zone...the link is there at the top of the main page...We even a thread for you...it's called "Willis and Guns: A Retrospective" It also talks about a small movie called Die Hard 4 or something...can't wait...And what are feelings in regards to Canadians?!?!?!?!
To:Walter B by JohnRevik	May 9th, 2007 07:36:50 PM
Been a fan since 'Moonlighting'. I pretty much grew up watching you. 12 Monkeys was amazing and the most realistic depiction of man's exposure to a 'what if' situation. Die Hard is Me and My Dad's fav. action film. We rented the movie consistently for weeks on VHS when it first came out. Your performance in Pulp Fiction was outstanding and finally Die hard 3 is criminally underrated. I dig that movie in a big big way. Thanks for almost 2 decades of solid entertainment. Keep it up. Yours, J.Revik.

McClane's new nemesis a match? by Fenrisulfr	May 9th, 2007 07:38:10 PM
Hey Mr Willis, it's a great honor to have you on AICN. I never imagined I'd have the occasion to address Bruce Willis directly, and the feeling is just so freaking awesome! About the flick, people seem to forget that the bad guys are equally important in a Die Hard movie. I was wondering how it was to work with Timothy Olyphant and what you think of his work on the film? Was his character more than a match for McClane?
In Country by Aragorn II	May 9th, 2007 07:38:27 PM
Bruce, I just wanted to let you know that one of my favorite films is IN COUNTRY, which seems to often be overlooked in examinations your filmography. I'm curious if you have any meaningful recollections of that film, either during the filming or as a result of audience/critic reaction. Do you see it as a quality film? What was your experience with Norman Jewison? Joan Allen? Did Bobbie Ann Mason have much input on the script? A lot of questions, I know, but any answers would be much appreciated. Also, on a semi-related tangent, my stepdad ran the Ruby Tuesday's restaurant in Paducah, Kentucky while you were filming, and I very clearly remember eating dinner at a table next to you one night when I was twelve, though my stepdad was careful to remind us he didn't want us gawking at a paying customer. :) Still, and nice memory to share. I really can't wait to see John McClane in action one more time. I just hope you keep your shoes on this time around. Thanks for doing the talkback!

Bruce - re: 5th Element and your music by ShiftyEyedDog2	May 9th, 2007 07:39:19 PM
Element came from out of NOWHERE and kicked all kinds of ass. Would you work with Luc Besson again (please!)? Also, I have always liked your music, and have owned both your CD's since they first came out. Any chance of more in the future?
Whoa, cool... by MarkoOhNo	May 9th, 2007 07:39:43 PM
More celebs oughta do this. :D I hope the new Die Hard movie rocks, but it'll be hard to ever come close to matching the Hans/"Roy" chemistry from the first one. Is there anything can be revealed which might make someone who only really thoroughly enjoyed the first film want to see the new one? BTW, The 5th Element... tres manufique! Among my favorite SciFi films of all time. Of course it couldn't be as fun to watch as it must've been to make, getting to kiss Mila. lol
Fred Thompson & Unbreakable Sequel? by Drunken Busboy	May 9th, 2007 07:39:59 PM
Hey Bruce! Since you are a republican like me, are you gonna vote for Fred Thompson if he runs for President? All I can think of when I see him is "McClain!! Get the Hell out of my Airport!!". How about a cool and/or funny story that features Fred while you made Die Hard 2. Also any chance of a sequel to "UnBreakable"? It seemed like we were just seeing the begining of the story. Thanks for your time! Yippee Ki Yeah!! Tim Ryan Lisbon, Maine P.S. See my movie Empire Falls I play Brian (Buster in the book) the drunken busboy!

Bruce Willis Talkbacks by utz_world	May 9th, 2007 07:41:07 PM
The single greatest bit Damage Control in the history of underground, internet movie coverage. We threw down the gauntlet & Bruno answered the bell. Now we'll end up seeing a $60 million LFoDH opening instead of a $25 million opening. Like I said in the last TB, you've got to use your clout to leave in those two lines that you stated were your favorite in the new film. At the very least, the MPAA can wink at the 2 "fucks" rule, right?

RE: Astronaut Farmer. Was the speech you give to Billy Bob about how "astronauts go to space, civilians do not" in the script originally or was that added when you were cast to create a hilarious Armageddon reference? Thank you that is all.

Won't date a girl unless she's seen Diehard by zdigital	May 9th, 2007 07:46:23 PM
Dear Bruce, my best friend in high school had one rule with dating a girl... she had to have seen the original Die Hard. Thought that was a pretty good mantra to live by. Can't wait for the 4th film. Also, I saw you on Letterman say you would like to do more comedies. I have written a great script that you would be terrific for. Any chance I could send to one of your readers? Best, Z
You were named after Bruce Wayne??? by a rolling stone	May 9th, 2007 07:46:30 PM
I went in to 'Unbreakable' a comic geek, not knowing the movie would be so comic book-oriented. The surprise alone was great. Not only was the genre of comic book mythology respected, but you and Sam Jackson took iconic character types and presented them honestly. You kept it grounded. It was a quiet performance (no explosions, car chases, yippie kye yeas) but also (in my opinion) one of your best. Right up there with Pulp Fiction and 12 Monkeys. I heard a rumor that Unbreakable was the first of a trilogy. All 3 Die Hards have been great, so I expect no less of the 4th one, and you've proven you can carry a franchise. Just curious if Unbreakable will follow suit, or if that was a one-shot. I kept waiting for your action figure to show up in stores, but no luck. I do have the Alex Ross piece he did of your character in monochromatic green. Too cool. Oh, and don't let them give you any shit about the bald head. I shave mine, too. Bald is sexy, brother.

Did John McClane meet his match in Len Wiseman? by anchorite	May 9th, 2007 07:48:19 PM
I mean, the guy has only directed two almost unwatchable movies. How the hell did they hand over the reins to one of the most beloved action franchises in American cinematic history to Len Effin' Wiseman? He was a props assistant! Then he was a director of two crappy movies! Now he gets Die Hard? Weird...

The Lasting integrity of McClaine by Merlin Hos	May 9th, 2007 07:49:55 PM
Bruce, Just to let you know, I have always rated Die Hard as my greatest movie experience of all time. I was about eleven when my Dad took me to watch it, and I have never been as blown away by a movie as Die Hard did. With that said, I do have a question for you: What has made John great as a character is his unbelievable nearness to the "modern guy". Just a normal guy, put into some serious situations. Only his will to live, but not just that I think, also not lose, that gets him through. The trailer for LF or DH looks great, but it also looks as if John has lost some of his "normal guy" shit. One of the enduring things about all of the DIE HARD movies is that John just barely looks like he knows what he's doing. That he is just barely hanging on and able to move through the story. Is this "theme" carried on through DH4. I hope so. Also....the last talk back tread was some of the funniest shit I have read in some time.
Someone has to ask.... Hudson Hawk... by Azazyel	May 9th, 2007 07:50:32 PM
Firstly. Thanks. The geeks and I really appreciate your time. It was great that Sly gave us so much of his time (and honesty) and it's great that you are too. Secondly... I know Hudson Hawk was a pet project - but what the hell went wrong with it??? You've shown an almost supernatural ability to choose the best projects of the last 20 years. But what the hell was that about?
Err by Mr_X	May 9th, 2007 07:50:50 PM
why the attention whoring? its "unoriginal 3rd grade" stuff. now STFU and DIAF BTW your mom asked me to tell you to move out the basement, we've discussed it and we want to use it for storage. She was gonna tell you herself, but she knows you get violent with the whole passive / agressive thing. ANd see a doctor about that whole bed wetting thing.
You have been my favorite actor... by loafmeat	May 9th, 2007 07:51:16 PM
Ever since I first saw HUDSON HAWK... I own most of your movies on DVD and love them all... even STRIKING DISTANCE! Loving you and your work is one of the only things that the future Mrs. Loafmeat and I can agree on and your outspoken support for bald men has given confidence to many people, including my brother whose time in the US Army has made him bald at the young age of 22. I think you are an inspiration for men everywhere. My question for you is this: What are your post-Die Hard 4 plans? What projects do you have in the works? And lastly, as a hardcore Die Hard fan, I personally can't wait to see John McClain save the country, but am skeptical of a PG-13 rating.. Are you happy with the film?
Welcome to geek-dom by a rolling stone	May 9th, 2007 07:51:21 PM

LforDH by hallospaceboy	May 9th, 2007 07:58:48 PM
Bruce, As someone who saw DH in the movies, on a warm Philadelphia July nite in 1988, I thought , I am gonna hate this movie. I thought you were going to suck. You proved me wrong, thanks.I was blown through the back of the theater, big time. I went back that summer multiple times to see DH, even in the Fall re-release. I even bought the VHS for $80 from the video store I worked at( NOT EVEN WIDESCREEN Ack!)I was a Bruce Willis fan since then and I haven't looked back. Thanks for the unsual (pulp fiction,sin city) roles,the mainstream ones(16 blocks was really underrated) and even for the stinkers (striking distince) One thing you can always count on, is you will always be good in the films. I am awaiting this new incarnation of DH, and admitedly, now I am almost 40, and I am nervous. Mostly over Len Wiseman. I hated Underworld. I have yet to watch the sequel. I will give this DH movei a chance tho and jusdge it on its own merits. I am looking forward to seeing it, regardless of how many "fucks" are in the movie. I dont care about ratings. A good movie is a good movie regardless of rating. Anyhow, my main question: Why can't John MafuckinClane fight muslim terrorists? This is the kind of battle I would like to see him involved in. That would bring it into the 21st-post 9/11- century. Granted a cyber hacker is kinda hip and cool,but I really wish Hollywood would make films that wouldnt be afraid to address this modern issue. Was it ever considered? I know the potential backlash PR wise, but what are your thoughts on MaFuckinClane fighting some terror cell/dynamite vest wearing muslim in a U.S. city? The Euros/Germans were shown as villians in the first and 3rd. Why cant we have a crackpot villain from the mideast? I think Hollywood is afraid , particularly since True Lies got so much shit for doing it. But why cant we call it what it is? This is a modern problem. Not to get all political, I just find it interesting that action films seem to be afraid of "going there" Your comments appreciated. Thanks, see you on 7/4!
Azazyel.. Hudson Hawk is like the Resurrection by modlight	May 9th, 2007 07:59:15 PM

Sorry, Walter B., that I doubted who you really are. by The Dum Guy	May 9th, 2007 08:00:37 PM
But since we are dealing with the whole internet-anonymity thing, I hope were you can how a guy saying he’s Bruce Willis is going to be taken with a grain of salt, at the least. Anyway, sorry I doubted you Walter B., and I would just like to say I am a fan and the fact that you’ve taken time out of your life and tried to commune with us commoners says a lot about you, mostly that you are cool. I personally don’t have any questions for you that aren’t completely inane, so I won’t bother (actually I do still want to know who you think would win in a Arnold vs. Stallone match) and I am re-thinking my opinion of waiting to see LFoDH until it’s on video, simply because you actually (yourself) thinks its good and bothered to tell us TalkBackers about it face to face (sorta).

In your new film, McClane almost gets killed by a car by Vicenzo	May 9th, 2007 08:01:20 PM
... that threatens to fall on top of his head. And the only reason he manages to survive is luck. Don't you feel this is kind of a departure for the character? In the first three Die Hard films he always stays alive because he's one tough motherfucker.
"Reindeer-Goat-Cheese-Pizza..." by samuraisix	May 9th, 2007 08:01:56 PM
...was said in both Last Boy Scout and Hudson Hawk. Was that your own ad-libbed thing? I ask because it seems weird that that could be written for two separate roles. Loved both those movies--are there any talks for a better edition of Boy Scout on DVD? Now would be a good time. I read somewhere that you mentioned that it would take a lot of courage for Fox to make an R-rated Die Hard these days. Why doesn't the studio have that courage...and why is it important that we, film fans and Die Hard lovers go see this installment? One last question: Does the film explain what happened between Vengeance and 4.0 to explain why McClane, once down-and-out, is in such good shape now? One of the best trademarks of the series for fans is seeing John overcoming all odds with his street smarts. Thanks for your time.

Sooo... by Valebant	May 9th, 2007 08:03:28 PM
this didn't post in the last talkback with Bruce, but I did get a chance to talk with the man on iChat for 5-10 minutes and he's pretty passionate about the film he's made. For the most part I listened and nodded my head while he described some pretty cool stuff. He said they almost lost a couple guys on set and that his stunt man was one of them. I'll definitely go see LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD opening day - it'll be like paying a dollar for each minute of one of the most surreal conversations I've ever had. I mean, Bruce Willis' head was floating on my desktop. I'm not one to be starstruck, but Mr. Willis is one of probably 4-5 people that apparently makes me an idiot. As for the movie, he really REALLY looked and sounded sincere about it and I believe him (I interview witnesses). My favorite part was asking about how Justin "I'm a Mac" Long's role compared to the part they had Samuel L. Jackson play in the last venture. (The part that worried me the most). He said having Justin there was like having one of US there - a John McClane fan in awe of the man and his sheer je ne sais quoi. As to THE BRUCE, he was REALLY down to Earth. He even asked about my hometown and talked about odd draft decisions my home football team made recently. I'm still reeling from having the honor of speaking to the man. AND I ashamed that I couldn't resist the urge to sign off by saying "Yippee Kiyay Bruce" and he laughed and said "Yippee kiyay, Motherfucker." JOHN MCCLANE CALLED ME A MOTHERFUCKER! Watching DIE HARD films just got a lot more special.
Hey BW! by DanDelion	May 9th, 2007 08:04:28 PM
I realize there's a good chance this will just be lost along in the shuffle now that this entire thing has exploded, but damn if I'm not going to type it up anyway. I'll keep the gushing to a minimum as there is clearly plenty to go around, but just to get it out of the way I've always been a big fan of yours, and I doubt that will ever stop. But I was hoping to ask you a question, that you, as both a parent(which I read off the other talkbacks, don't worry I'm not some crazy stalker) and someone inside of Hollywood, might have some advice for. I'm about to graduate from highschool, and, like many, am looking to hopefully one day go into some aspect of the filmmaking buisiness. My grades in highschool were never that great, and while I've gotten into a few colleges I wouldn't really be getting any help to pay for them. Going would mean a lot of debt down the line for me. Again, as a parent(for believe me my mother is a crazy one so here I am asking a moviestar for advice), do you think passing by on college and attempting to go right into the work world- especially that of the film industry- is at all a sound idea? I think I already know your answer, but all the same- I'd love to hear back from you. PS, on more of a normal fanboy type question, any dream projects you hope to do sometime?
Okay Mr. Bruce, I've Calmed Down by alynch3	May 9th, 2007 08:08:05 PM
Okay Bruce, if you look at the previous talkback, I made one of the first posts where I essentially told you and your defense of film to go fuck itself. After reading some of your posts, I have indeed calmed down. The fact that you're actually responding directly to us rather than a bunch of filtered questions speaks highly, so I no longer think you're full of shit. Hell, I actually was excited when I heard Timothy Olyphant was the villain. He completely rocked on Deadwood. So I've now decided to give the movie a shot and I'm willing to acknowledge that it is possible to make an intense balls-to-the-wall action movie that is PG-13. I just hope the film makes great use of its single alloted "fuck". And if the movie ends up sucking, I hope you stick around to take our shit.
Time travel by a rolling stone	May 9th, 2007 08:08:10 PM

BW.... by Kubla_Khan	May 9th, 2007 08:13:51 PM
Mr Willis! Personally I have a lot of faith in Die Hard 4.0 (as it's called here in the UK). Underworld 2 had some really very good action set-pieces, so that combined with the fact that I love all the other DH films means I'm in all the way. Now that's out in the open -- what do you reckon on the classic "Harrison Ford is too old to play Indy" debate? You up for another in that franchise? By the way, I loved 12 Monkeys -- any plans to work with Gilliam again? Finally -- ever catch reruns of That 70s Show, see Ashton, and just wanna punch his fucking lights out? (Sorry about that last one, I'm kidding...). Over.

If there's one question I can ask you, Bruce (well, one that you might answer), well then I want to know, Joe, why wasn't there a sequel to THE LAST BOY SCOUT? Was one ever developed, did Shane Black have an idea, did Joel Silver ever pitch a sequel to you or Tony Scott or to anybody else, did WB ever want to do it, or was it never suggested anytime, for reasons that you want to tell us now?...I don't know if it's your best role, but my favorite Bruce Willis character is still Joe Hallenbeck...if Harry hasn't told you yet, it's also a name that carries some historical baggage here at AICN. Where does THE LAST BOY SCOUT stand up for you? Either way, thanks for logging on and logging in. Ain't it cool?

Die Hard with a Vengeance by roundhoward	May 9th, 2007 08:22:19 PM
Bruce, big fan of yours and I'm extremely pumped to have you on the site. I know there's a strong likelihood that this will get passed over, but I felt that I should ask since I didn't see it covered too extensively in your previous posts. What is your beef with DH3? Obviously it isn't as good as the first -- how could it be? -- but I definitely would not call it a bad movie. The "Simon Says" scenes, before we see Irons, is brilliant. It's the grandfather of 24 (back when it was good). Samuel L and Jeremy Irons were excellent, and your hung over McClane was fantastic. I spent the Halloween following DH3 dressed up as McClane from that film. I was fucking freezing but I loved it. Anyway, thanks for joining us Bruce, please let us know more about your thoughts on DH3 if you have the chance, and keep on rocking in the free world. -Roundy

The Return Of Bruno. by The-Warrior	May 9th, 2007 08:28:19 PM
Three questions: ----1. Did you think it was awesome when Ice-T hailed you in the classic song, New Jack Hustler -- "bulletproof, I die harder than Bruce Willis" -- I thought it kicked ass. ------ 2. "The Parthanon, Greek family restaurant...It's wet and it's dry, my my my my!" is an unheralded turn of lyrical genius on Saturday Night Live. Fine work, sir. --------3. Whenever the bloated sell-out, Knowles let's us talk to famous people, they insult me (Kev Smith called me a fag, Stallone said I engage in necrophilia, so forth and so on) if you could disparage me in some way, I'd really appreciate it because I want to keep my streak alive. ----- See you in Hell.
Die Hard with Bruce by njdet	May 9th, 2007 08:29:38 PM
Let me tell you why I will see your movie a) like I would've missed it to begin with, it's Die Hard the very basis for modern action that means it's hardcore action that we know for sure and if I can give any praise to Len Wiseman is that he can direct action b) you've really put yourself out there and went on the record with the most rabbid fans in the world c) you called out Michael Bay if Die Hard 4 and Transformers were up against each other on the 4th I would've picked Die Hard based simply on you calling him out, so you've got my ticket and i expect to be floored. Now for my question. I see Jeffery Wright has been cast in the film and I think that Mr. Wright is one of America's greatest unheralded actors, so Bruce how was it working with Jeffery, and since its such a popular question how was it working with Timothy Olyphant, we know he can be a badass as witnessed on Deadwood. Thanks for joining the talkbacks and I hope you respond to my question!
Pulp Fiction rocked. by jae683	May 9th, 2007 08:31:16 PM
Think you play those punchy guys better than anyone.
Bruce, did you bite off more then you can chew? by Womb2dooM	May 9th, 2007 08:31:28 PM
Or are you just getting started? Also, I loved/liked almost all your movies except Colour of Night - APOLOGISE!!
The Fifth Element... by critch	May 9th, 2007 08:32:56 PM
Hi Bruce, love all the Die Hards (Yes, even Die Harder), but actually had a question about an earlier flick. How did Fifth Element get pitched to you? That must've been a trip to try to understand considering it was all CGI, and an original sci-fi story is hard to find any more. Was there ever any word on another one? I know it made it's budget back, and there were rumblings right afterward of a "Mr. Shadow" movie. Anyway, thanks for doing this, even if you don't see my questions. Hudson Hawk forever!
bruce! by kendall_lacey	May 9th, 2007 08:33:29 PM
Respect sir, hope to see DH4 soon! My favourite BW moment was that creepy Twilight Zone where you answered your own phone, that gave me nightmares for weeks! :)
I see a black box!! by ATARI	May 9th, 2007 08:34:00 PM

RedEyeDistrict by The Dum Guy	May 9th, 2007 08:34:23 PM
Yeah, I guess this ones like part 2, I just hope we can still go back and read Vern's TB. It was kinda funny at first wondering if Bruce Willis was or wasn't Walter, now the mystery is gone.
Would you ever work with Gilliam again? by TotallyGayForChristianBale	May 9th, 2007 08:34:57 PM
I really thought the chemistry you had with Brad Pitt was great, and I would love to see you guys work together again. 12 Monkeys is such a badass flick, do you still talk to Terry Gillam? Finally, how do you recommned for somebody to break into this business?
Hey Bruce, quick question about Unbreakable by Doctor Occult	May 9th, 2007 08:36:41 PM
Loved your work in Die Hard, 12 Monkeys, and yes, Hudson Hawk, but your performance in Unbreakable is still, to me, one of your best. I had heard that M Night originally had planned on that to be the first part of a proposed trilogy. I'm assuming this is by now, a no-go, but were you ever interested in this? And if so, what elements would the trilogy have eventually dealt with, in terms of general plot and your character? Not much of an M Night fan, but that movie was fuckin incredible. Thanks in advance, Zach D.
Oh and thanks for Apocalypse! by Womb2dooM	May 9th, 2007 08:37:03 PM
That was the single coolest thing any actor had done at that time! "Kill em all and let God sort em out!" So such a cool game! Just for that, you don't have to apologise for Colour of Night.
Bag of Bones by ororo_munroe	May 9th, 2007 08:37:27 PM
I read that you were producing it. Are you going to do anything with it any time soon? P.S. Is that really you on myspace or a poser?

Suck on that bitches.
An Unbreakable Trilogy would kick ass by jae683	May 9th, 2007 08:39:59 PM
If they could get everyone back.
Timothy Olyphant by Random Trip	May 9th, 2007 08:40:05 PM
I've only ever seen him in The Girl Next Door, but even with a role in such a shitty film, he exudes such charisma and comes across as a completely believeabloe bastard that I always figured he'd end up as the villain in a kick-ass action flick. Without having seen him in a Die Hard movie, I'll take a guess that he's going to be damn good, but nowhere near as great as the legendary Alan Rickman. This brings me to my question, Bruce: Of the 3 Die Hard bad guys so far, which has been your favourite, and why?
For Walter B. (the man himself)... by Flynn Diesel	May 9th, 2007 08:41:52 PM
The first movie and Die Hard 2 were made at the end of the Reagan era and the beginning of the Bush Sr. era, where John McClane's persona was more or less as defined an action hero as a Rambo or Schwarzenegger, a man whose heroism was, as you said it, at "the wrong man at the wrong place at the wrong time" and trying to keep the peace. Die Hard with a Vengeance more or less retained that, but what I want to know is this: since 1995 (when Die Hard with a Vengeance was released), a lot has happened in the real world of terrorism on a global scale--the Unabomber, Columbine, 9/11, suicide bombers in Israel--and that does not even cover other situations such as the conflict in Iraq. Have the events of this past decade made you play John McClane as a different person, or have you simply accustomed the character to coexist in the current times?
He's not going to have time to read all of this by Rupee88	May 9th, 2007 08:42:53 PM
but maybe he will jump around and answer a few random questions. Die Hard 2 sucked so I don't care about this new one, but he has done some great movies of course like Pulp Fiction, 12 Monkeys, etc. The first Die Hard was fun.
Bruce loves Austin... by Jamador79	May 9th, 2007 08:43:49 PM
Hey Bruce, first...thanks for participating in the talkbacks here. It's pretty cool that you are willing to speak openly about your films, even the ugly ones. My question is this...any chance for a special screening of Live Free or Die Hard here in Austin? I couldnt imagine a better night than seeing DH4 in downtown ATX with you in attendance, then heading down to Antone's to see the Accelerators play an aftershow (a la the Sin City premiere awhile back). I saw you guys play there many years ago and had a blast. You and the band are definitely talented musicians, and i love the harmonica and guitar duels, especially between you and the Krispy Kreme guy. Thanks again, cant wait to see the flick!
Walter B - any suggestions? by Ducayne	May 9th, 2007 08:44:17 PM
Wow... so I just got out of an 8-hour lecture about Editing and finally got caught up on all this woo-ha. This is all very exciting and intense. Now Walter B, I have no worries about your fourth installment in the series, my dad (who also bears a striking resemblance) introduced me to the series as a young lad and thought that each film was (at the very least) an entertaining thrill ride. I was trying to think of some questions to ask about DH4, but I want the element of surprise there. I want to go into the theater and be blown away. So now I'm sitting here trying to think of something intelligent and thought provoking to ask but I'm drawing a blank. So I'll ask a bland and uninteresting question. I'm a film student close to graduating; do you have any words of wisdom?
FInally read the other thread by Mr_X	May 9th, 2007 08:44:43 PM
and it was quite hilarious, with people not beliving who he was Kudos bruce, seems you've got all the haters and doubters on your side, or at least willing to give the movie a shot. you'll probably need another mac account after this.
stick to Die Hard 4 by Fenrisulfr	May 9th, 2007 08:48:00 PM
I think he said previously that he would answer only questions related to die hard 4.
DH4 my most anticipated movie of the year by slappy jones	May 9th, 2007 08:49:04 PM
I don't give a fuck how kiss assy this sounds. I fucking love the die hard films...especially the first one. it is the greatest action film ever made. bar none. there is no contest..nothing comes close...i was 11 when i first saw it and i must have seen it nearly a hundred times...it is pretty much perfect ..and I cannot fucking wait to see this new film.....bbbbuuttt my question is do you ever see brian de palma or have anything to do with him?? would you work with him again? just curious - i like bonfire of the vanities so what can you do............but anyway can't wait to see DH4..trailer looks great
About the paparazzi by Weresmurf77	May 9th, 2007 08:50:38 PM
Not about your family as such, but how do you handle the constant invasion of privacy into every angle of your personal life? Do you ever feel like pulling a MaClane on them, or is it a case of ignoring them? Have any ever gone way too far and received a come-uppance from you? Does it ever feel too much and you wish you could sink back into the anonymity of your pre-acting days?
Only have two questions... by Hansen1985	May 9th, 2007 08:52:47 PM
...and a lot of awe and respect for one of the icons of modern cinema. I make a point of watching a movie if I know you're in it. The last one I saw was Alpha Dog. Assuming you've seen it, did you like it. And also, do you enjoy watching yourself on film, or is that something you try to avoid? Know the chance of you seeing these and answering is slim, but a man gotta try..
DO YOU USE A MAC OR A PC???? by supermarch	May 9th, 2007 08:53:09 PM
I hope that kid in those commercials who's in Die Hard 4 got you a free computer. PS: Could you please smack Ashton Kutcher for me? Thanks dude.
Hey Bruce! by TattooedBillionaire	May 9th, 2007 08:53:10 PM
Firstly, let me just say that I think you're awesome for doing this. It's great that you're taking time out to answer questions for fans. My only question, since so many good ones have already been asked, is: How important do you feel cameos are to an actor's career? In recent years, we've seen you do cameos in Ocean's 12 and Grindhouse, so you seem to do them on a somewhat regular basis now. Are they a good way of keeping your name out there when you don't have a starring vehicle coming out? Thanks, Bruce!
Do you want me to rape him? by Doctor Occult	May 9th, 2007 08:53:15 PM
Did I mention I fucking LOVED Hudson Hawk. Why the hate? And I thought the only questions off limit to Bruce were in regards to his family/personal life. Past films could be discussed. And yeah, Olyphant is a great choice for bad guy, he can act his ass off and be just as much a bad ass as Bruce (ie Deadwood) which should make for an interesting confrontation in DH4.
I can't wait to see this movie! by JonBlizzard	May 9th, 2007 08:54:36 PM
Stallone didn't let us down and dammit if Willis will either. We're pulling for Die Hard 4. I know this is probably a tough one to answer but, who has been your favorite director to work with, to date?
The purpose of this thread is simple by chrth	May 9th, 2007 08:55:26 PM
We must convince Bruce to do more Hudson Hawk films. Anyone who deviates from this purpose is doing the world a disservice.
HEY BRUCE !! HOW YA DOIN ??? by b.shaker	May 9th, 2007 08:55:39 PM
I didn't come to kiss up like the others unfortunately. Amazing how many AICN nerds are gonna change their tune now they know it's you on the TBs. I don't care dude, you are just another person to me like everyone else here, and that's how I'll talk 2 you. Like most others on this board ( including the star-struck, groveling bunch ), I don't care for a "safe" version of a Die Hard movie. Maybe you don't have much say in this studio decision, maybe you do...whatever. You must be able to understand however, why people wouldn't appreciate this absurd change to the Die Hard franchise. Die Hard is like the last "true" adult 'R' rated action franchise. It is considered a pioneer in the action genre ( but you know this already ). I was looking forward to this movie this summer in the glout of PG-13 fare marketed to the teen/preteen crowd. Just imagine;; In a summer atmosphere litteraly saturated with with childish, PG, cowshit, We had this one, lone R-rated bad-boy to look forward too. But No...Instead of honouring the fan base that made this franchise a success in the first place, Fox has seen fit to snub those that waited for the sequel for a decade long with this move which amounts to nothing more than "censoring" just so you could draw a teen crowd that have no vested intrest in this franchise whatsoever. Another blasted PG-13 movie.....I'm disappointed, dismayed, and quite frankly, disgusted with the whole scenario. Fox may make some money with this censored movie, but not nearly as much as if it was an 'R' like the others. I believe you know that too. I believe your hands are tied in this matter. That's a shame and I'm truly sorry. I know what you're doing here on AICN is nothing more than a little PR save-face, but you are not going to be able to sell that "hardcore" shit to everyone. We both know what PG-13 entails, I won't be a star-struck, nerd ass and pretend like I don't know..... You are now portraying a T.V. version of John McClane. While the movie will have it's action of course, it will all be "inoffensive" ( so to speak ). I like to call it "noise without impact". We WILL NOT see the bloody, gritty, violence that was pushed to the limit in the first three. That was what signified a Die Hard movie even more than John's foul mouth. It's all gone now though; The gritty, no-holds-bared violence, the realisticly and justifiably bad-mouthed characters. It's all either completely gone or so glossed over now we'd never know or notice if any of it is even there at all. That's what PG-13 is Bruce. There's no "hardcore" in a fucking PG-13 movie. If there was, it would be rated acordingly (i.e. 'R' ). My beef is not really with you though Bruce. You gotta make a living right ?? Which is like what for this movie ?? 20mil at least. Hell!! I'd do a PG Die Hard myself for that kinda dough lol. No. My beef is with the suits over at Fox that keep turning these adult franchises into PG-13 farce. They have no love or respect for quality cinema, just profit and nothing else ( something they won't even see that much of from this censored DH film ). Someone should've had the good sense to tell the nip-tuck Fox suits that real profit from a Die Hard movie would come from it's long-time fanbase that expected nothing short of an R. I thought you would have told them that Bruce. Naive of me, guess I don't really know how that shit works. Oh Well. All I can tell you is that I do not now, or will not ever support this epic disaster of a bad business decision on Fox's part. I will not watch this chickenshit 'Live Free Or Die Hard' in theaters, nor will I shell out my humble earnings to rent/buy the preposterous and disingenuous sales gimmick that is the "unrated" or "Directors" cut. That's my two cents on the whole affair, and you'd be surprised how many disgruntled fans share my POV Bruce. You could reply if you like ( or not ). I wasn't really looking for much by way of a conversation ( not to be rude by any means )....I really just wanted to speak my mind. Good luck with your future endeavours Mr Willis..... I'll keep an eye out for that movie you're doing with Sam Jackson. you two have a killer on-screen vibe that should not be taken for granted ( I just hope it's R-rated for fucks sake ).
Bruce Fucking Willis by teammattford	May 9th, 2007 08:55:58 PM
Incredible. Congratulations on your amazing career, and getting my totally pumped for DH4 based on this event alone. Are you doing any press in NZ? I would love to shake your hand.

You know what rocked? Die Hard Trilogy for the PS1 by PushTheButton	May 9th, 2007 08:58:36 PM
They weren't terribly original games, but they were easy, fun, and came with a sense of achievement when finished. I mean, fuck, in the DH3 one you save the city from destruction and kill Simon all without ever leaving your car.
why i'm STILL worried/disappointed about DH4... by mobguy1907	May 9th, 2007 08:58:49 PM
hey Mr. Willis .. must say first that i'm a HUGE fan of everything you've done. .. but when i first saw the trailer for DH4 i was amazed, excited, everything. then when i heard the news that this film is being made into a PG-13, i lost nearly all my excitement for the film, and that i just got ass raped by the people who decided to make this PG-13. .. i know u probably sick of hearing ppl complain about this being PG-13, and i've read what u said that this is a hard action movie and has a lot of violence and everything. but to me, the "fucks" and hard violence were a big part of the films. and i'm sry but if u jump off a jet onto a messed up highway and slide down it and escape the crashing jet behind u (btw very cool scene : ) .. and u don't scream "fuck!!!" .. theres issues.. idk .. to me it seems more real-life w/ the language .. especially if ur in a terrorist/ hostage situation. just my thoughts ... still looking forward to it ... hope i get a reply : )
He can't say "motherfucker" by Fenrisulfr	May 9th, 2007 09:03:05 PM
so he'll say "YIPPIE KAI YAY MOTHER"... explosion... and Olyphant to answer "FUCKER?". That would pass, lol.
Oh goody, another washed up "star" tries to reconnect by Proman1984	May 9th, 2007 09:03:36 PM
with his fanbase. Excuse me if I don't care. Seriously is there a SINGLE BETTER WAY to prove you are not an A-Lister (not even a B lister) than by posting on a pissy AICN talkback? I mean this place is worse than IMDb and IMDb is shite. A few years ago I may have been glad, you know I may have even thought it was cool. But between a string of crappy movies, and worse yet, a string of politically embarrasing statements, and now this watered down PG13 crap when most of the real action is done by a standin-stantman (heck he is even brough it for regular setup) well excuse me that I don't care. And seeing the attention deficient fanwhore isn't too exciting either. Meh I say. For the record, I hope I am proven wrong and the movie does rock (unlikely) but it's hardly be due to Bruce. Doesn't feel like a Bruce movie too me.
Unbreakable 2 by Press Lenox	May 9th, 2007 09:03:51 PM
Hi Bruce, I'm a huge fan, and especially loved Unbreakable, what your thoughts on a sequel to that movie were, or any story concepts M. Night had mentioned about it. Thanks for everything Bruce!
12 monkeys?? by rdsxfan8	May 9th, 2007 09:03:55 PM
someone please explain this one to me. Ive seen it a bunch of times and just when I think i have an idea about whats going on, I notice something else that shatters my mind and sends me down a path of false delusions. I hope Im not alone in this one.
Hiiii OOoooohhh by Sappers Forward	May 9th, 2007 09:05:18 PM
So Bruce, ummmm, you gonna chime in here or what? Just wondering. oh, BTW, love your work...call me. Let's do lunch.
About the car crashing into helicopter by Fenrisulfr	May 9th, 2007 09:06:22 PM
In the last level of Die Hard 3 in Die Hard Trilogy, you had to crash your cab into Simon's chopper. Was the scene in DH4 inspired by it? Nah, I don't think you can answer that, lol.
NAME'S BUTTERFINGERS by kikuchiyoboy	May 9th, 2007 09:06:34 PM
"No shit" What a great f'n movie.
My last name is actually MCCLANE!!!!! by Jonny_Dr_Thunder	May 9th, 2007 09:07:53 PM
Hey Bruce, let me say how insanely happy I am that you've taken the time to dive into these talkbacks and show such great spirit. Excellent show of character, my man. My last name is McClane, and it's actually spelled with an "ANE" instead of the most common McCl-"AIN". My whole life people have spelled my name wrong. Eveyrwhere I go, they spell it "McClain" and it always drives me nuts. My ENTIRE LIFE, I've always said to these people: "No, no, no, it's spelled "MCCLANE," like Bruce Willis in Die Hard. I want to thank you for making my last name the coolest fucking last name on the planet these days. I'm a huge fan of your work, and I'll continue to cheer you on, brother. You'll find me at DH4 on opening night, probably drunk, and really, really happy. So from one McClane to another.... keep givin' 'em hell!!!!
It's true!! by ATARI	May 9th, 2007 09:08:02 PM
So I checked out the previous Walter B thread -- and sure enough, it's the real deal. Bruce, if you read this, I want you to know that since you had the balls to come on this site and take abuse, then I am going to have to balls to go see Die Hard 4 You've made me do a 180. Only question I have, is will there be an unrated DVD of this movie in my Christmas stocking?
Ummmm...has anyone seen the trailer to DH4? by Doctor Occult	May 9th, 2007 09:10:15 PM
Two cars careening over McClane's head, car smashing into helicopter = one purchase of a movie ticket from myself.
ALSO ... few more questions by mobguy1907	May 9th, 2007 09:11:01 PM
i'm a little curious/confused ... did u sign on the project originally already knowing that this was going to be made into a PG-13 movie ? if so, WHY ???!!! .. and another thing, have you seen a lot of these PG-13 action movies that have been made in the past few years ??? .. there TERRIBLE .. can you blame people for being upset? i mean .. Transporter 2, XXX 2, (both these sequels as well) .. there just God awful
Moriarty should apologize by nooneimportant	May 9th, 2007 09:14:51 PM
That was a punk bitch move of Moriarty calling out Walter B like that. Really dude, you should chill on the whole "toughguy" attitude you got going and show some respect. That whole half-assed apology was just that.
Bruce when are you and Sly going to star in a movie by Frank The Rabbit	May 9th, 2007 09:15:34 PM

Walter B. by the darkman	May 9th, 2007 09:15:52 PM
I'm curious of what was your favorite movie you've seen this year? And what movie this summer besides DH4 are you excited to see on the big screen? Thanks again for doing this. It's one of the coolest things an actor can do!!!
WalterB, welcome to the cesspool known as the internet by Jack_Crap	May 9th, 2007 09:17:31 PM
But props to you for dealing with it! I asked this question in your old thread, but I don't know if you're still reading that. Just one question for you: Any plans on making another film with M. Night Shyamalan? I thought his best films were with you. Of course, the classic "The Sixth Sense," and then my choice for one of the most underrated flix ever, "Unbreakable." (And probably my favorite B.Willis film!) Oh shit, I lied, one more question: "Last Man Standing!" Where would you rank that film with your collection? I for one always thought that was a great freaking movie, although I guess it didn't receive wide critical appeal. It was almost like watching a classic western, only 30 years after the fact. Model-Ts instead of horses. Anyways.... Don't let the internet dorks push you away, we appreciate your taking the time to answer these questions. You da man, can't wait to watch the 4th DH!
IT'S THIS YEAR'S LITTLE MISS NO SHOW!!!!!! by tracheattack	May 9th, 2007 09:17:41 PM

Question: Blind Date and Blake Edwards by PhantomZone111	May 9th, 2007 09:18:56 PM
Yeah, Die Hard was great, but I love it when Bruce does comedy. So here's my question. What was it like to work with Blake Edwards in "Blind Date"? I'm a HUGE fan of the director, but if it was a bad experience, please be honest. Thanks! (I was going to put off seeing DH4, but now I'm taking it in opening weekend... this talkback rocks)
Favorite talk show? by BondGayBond	May 9th, 2007 09:20:01 PM
Bruce, always enjoy your segments when you show up on Conan, what's your favorite show to show up on? Least favoritE?
John McTiernan by BondGayBond	May 9th, 2007 09:20:45 PM
Hey Bruce, how did you like working with McTiernan, what didn't you like about DieHard 3?
So, Does he kill with new technology or old stand by? by evilmasterfoo	May 9th, 2007 09:21:49 PM
Does Mcclane use his Barretta .9mm still, or has he upgraded to a Glock or something?
DieHard 4/ True Lies by BondGayBond	May 9th, 2007 09:22:01 PM
Were you worried at all that the Harrier Jet sequence would evoke True Lies? At least that's the first thing to enter the brains of my friends and I when viewing the trailer.
I TAKE IT BACK by JettDeckard	May 9th, 2007 09:22:59 PM
I ACTUALLY TOOK TIME TO GO WATCH THE TRAILER. HOW MANY FUCKING FLYING FLAMING CARS CAN YOU HAVE IN A MOVIE TRAILER? you know what was so cool about the first die hard is it didn't attempt to be all big and epic and huge. it was a guy that happen to be in a building that got taken over...now the "WORLD" IS GETTING SHUT DOWN but computer guys..why even bother seeing it, i already know how its going to end, bad guy dead, world saved, good guy alive...give me movies like munich, and the departed. as far as action casino royale did it for me.
Chinese theatre Hanprints by LeviDTinker	May 9th, 2007 09:24:53 PM
Hello Bruce my name is Levi,Iam the senior tour guide at the graumans chinese theatre, and one of the things we talk about on the tours are the handprints of course, and i want to ask you the same thing that i asked stallone on here back in Decemeber. A lot of the tourists ask about your square and i was just curious if there was any memories or recollections you have from that day, that you would want to pass along that i could share with the tourists who take the chinese theatre tour. ive seen you at a lot of the Premieres(where iam also the lobby announcer welcomeing everyone inside the theatre) and other events we host at the chinese and the mann villiage,bruin and festival theatres. But ive never gone up and said hello and ask about your handprints as i didnt want to interupt while you were talking to people in the lobby. I would very much appreciate anything you could tell me about that day. thanks for your time and i look forward to seeing you in Live free or Die Hard. Levi
Bruce please request Last Boy Scout special edition DVD by Greg7007	May 9th, 2007 09:25:13 PM
I know Bruce has said him and Joel Silver aren't the best of buddies (which probably means Bruce's Joe Hallenbeck character won't be in any more films again), but I was always ticked off (as other AICN readers would agree) at The Last Boy Scout film still only being available in a bare bones DVD. If there's any chance a TLBS special edition DVD for HD-DVD or Blu Ray will eventuate with a director's cut, it'd be great if Bruce could participate in it and I know Tarantino (who's a big fan of TLBS) would also gladly appear in it.
will M. night and a moonlight reunion happen? by theonecalledshoe	May 9th, 2007 09:25:29 PM
Willis once said he'd do so many flicks with M. night. I think he has one left. As for moonlighting, it's got to be time to bury the hatchet (not literally.)

And one last question about Michael Bay by BondGayBond	May 9th, 2007 09:26:17 PM
Bruce, on Bay's official site, he talks about Die Hard 4, and mentions that he loved working with you. Does he know you hated working with him? He makes mention that Die Hard moved from the July 4th release because of Transformers and says he's "been there done that" in regards to the Die Hard action.
