The rumors surrounding the Die Hard prequel are much like the faceless goons that McClane loves to gun down, they just keep coming, with further speculation stating that the story would have brought back Willis as a present day McClane, who would begin working a case that ties back to a case he worked as a 20-something rookie cop, with the role of young McClane either recast or utilizing some infamous de-aging tech.Įxecutive producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura previously explained the approach to the project, stating quite rightly that you can't really do Die Hard without Bruce Willis.
Die hrd 6 series#
Released in 2009, Die Hard Year One is an 8-issue series set in 1976 and follows John McClane as a rookie cop in the NYPD. McClane reportedly began life as Die Hard Year One, which would have used the Die Hard prequel comic from BOOM! Studios and writer/artist Howard Chaykin as a jumping off point. While details of the proposed plot remain scarce, it was rumored that McClane would have only featured Bruce Willis in a cameo, as a framing device for the story, with a younger actor taking on the role of John McClane as an 80s beat cop. Tentatively titled McClane, the project was ultimately cancelled after Disney purchased 20th Century Fox and went through its list of upcoming projects with an eye toward trimming the budget. At one time, there were plans in place to bring a Die Hard prequel to the big screen. Sadly, the report, which it should be stipulated is all just a rumor at this stage, does not go into specifics regarding the direction of Die Hard 6, but the idea of one last explosive outing for John McClane does track with what has been reported in the past. The character was last seen in 2013's critically mauled A Good Day to Die Hard, but a new report suggests that the 65-year-old action star is gearing up to revive the series for a sixth and final adventure, in which the hero will no doubt once again find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
