A Good Thing?

In an apparent exclusive, Cop Out star Bruce Willis has told MTV News’ Josh Horowitz that (a) “I think we’re gonna do” a Die Hard 5 movie for 2011, and that (b) he’d hire Len Wiseman to direct in a New York minute

  1. Use the movie to get McClane back with his wife. Their divorce was a needless development in the otherwise good “Live Free or Die Hard”. The point of these movies is that McClane will do anything to keep things good with his beloved Holly.

  2. Live Free or Die Hard was awesome! After what one would think would be just another crappy sequel, it actually had some really good elements to the techno-thriller genre and as an action flick (besides the silly jet fighter scene) was absolutely dang great. The Maggie Q elevator sequence absolutely rocked! And there was that nice cameo by Kevin “I’m too fat to fly” Smith.

  3. I just hope they’d revert McClane to the “everyman” of the original, instead of the wing-riding superhero he was in Live Free (a g.

    And get McTiernan back. The guy has to have some juice left.

  4. “Use the movie to get McClane back with his wife.”

    Not to be sexist, but the problem with this idea, is that Bonnie Bedelia is now 62 years old. If Bruce Willis is going to be a credible action hero, he can’t be making it with a 62 year old grandmother.

  5. i LOVE willis but live free or die hard was total shit. len wiseman is an ultra-hack. the pg-13′ing of that francishe was/is unforgivable.

  6. Apologies for going off topic here. But…

    Josh Massey, I rented Rambo the other day on your over the top praise of it. All I can say is it was fucking incredible. A perfect action movie.

  7. drbob: Oh, they can make Bonnie Bedelia look good in an extended cameo (appearing on the other side of a phone call or some such thing). I’m not saying make her a huge part of the movie, running from fireballs and stuff.

    I think it would send a nice message: a sixty-ish action hero who actually has a sixty-ish love interest. It worked in the last Indiana Jones movie, and Karen Allen DID run from fireballs (or killer ants, at any rate).

  8. Joe M.:

    Good point on Karen Allen. Although, she was about 55 at the time, and a good 7 or 8 years younger than her co-star. Bedelia, on the other hand, is 7 years older than Willis who is still in his mid-50′s.

  9. Chinaski94: Awesome to hear. It’s probably my favorite action movie since McTiernan’s holy trilogy. And if I helped at least one person see its light, I’ve done my good deed for the month.

    Now I can cancel that Haiti donation. Sweet.

  10. Hmmmm, drbob, let me see if I can find a current pic of Bonnie B. at IMDB and I’ll get back to you. lol, I get what you’re saying, though. Still, the whole tossed-off divorce thing in the last movie bugged me.

  11. Die hard 4 was terrible. Make DH5 a back to basics thriller that recalls the “Trapped in a (blank) with terrorists” vibe, or don’t bother.

  12. Beaten to the punch, but, yes, billionaire megastar Bruce Willis, 55 or not, who in real life bangs porn stars and dates SMOKING-hot 20-somethings like Nadja Bjorlin (yep) is gonna look plenty silly coupled with Grandma Bedelia.

    Hell, it looked absurd in the first two Die Hards, ripped mid-30-something ladies’ man Willis paired with this shoulder-padded, frizz-haired SCHOOLMARM.

    And McClane would be right to have divorced that hen anyway… all leaving him in the dust to go to L.A., flirt with Ellis and condescend to McClane about not knowing his L.A. Thomas Guide.

    And in PART TWO, what *250* people die and Bruce is running around the airport like a maniac trying to save her fat ass from COLONEL STUART, and she gets off the plane at the end whiny and entitled as ever, her priorities all messed up and just a general pill all-around.

    Holly sucks, and if Bedelia’s still working, she’s closer to playing Grandma parts in Garry Marshall movies that ACTUALLY star the chicks real-life Bruce could pull.

    Her Shirley Muldowney days are long, long since past.

    But the real reason LIVE FREE doesn’t count is Willis is completely bald and doesn’t smoke, hence ZERO CONTINUITY with 1-3. And I like Wiseman fine but you could tell he just wanted to cut loose with his ice-cold, super-blue monochrome vampire sheen, but had to half-ass it with all those nods to DIE HARD YELLOW, not to mention any movie from Fox has to look as yellow and urine-tinted as a butterscotch candy.

  13. When he says a “New York Minute,” I hope Willis means “never.”

    Anyway, fuck this franchise…it’s been fun, but milked for all its worth (still can’t BELIEVE that last flick was PG-13!), and then a little more ’til it lamely dribbled to a close, which incidentally is also a pretty fucking apt description of my suddenly-geriatric urination characteristics ever since hitting the big 3-OH.

    Still love the ’80s, though…bring on The Expendables and Machete already!

  14. “Still love the ’80s, though…bring on The Expendables and Machete already!”

    And you’ll be glad to know, despite rumors to the contrary, The Expendables is going to be very R-rated.

  15. If there is to be a DIE HARD 5, Willis needs to play off a more menacing villain than Timothy Olyphant. I vote for Stephen Lang.

  18. Geil, geil und nochmals geil was man fuer einen Flirt im Web finden kann. Was Du dir im Internet fuer Pornostars anschauen kannst, das ist schon traumhaft aber das man sowas auch noch fuer einen geilen One Night Stand haben kann, ist doch nur noch geil. Nicht wie damals, wo das was man sah eher Erotik und man die behaarte Muschis der Frauen praktisch nie gesehen hat. In den Pornos von heute ist selbst so was geiles wie Arschficken was ganz normales. Man findet eigentlich kaum noch einen Porno wo Frauen sind, sich sich nicht in den Arsch ficken lassen wuerden. Das war ganz anders. Da gab es nur ein paar nackte Frauen zu sehen und das war es auch schon fast allerding gingen die Weiber fruehre alle beim Anal voll ab. Nur in ganz harten Pornos konnte man Menschen ficken sehen. Wobei die Frauen frueher noch so richtig geile Titten hatten und nicht so kuenstliche Titten wie in den Pornos von heute. So natuerliche Titten fuehlen sich viel besser an und wippen beim Sex auch viel geiler.
