Ik ben niet begonnen over stokoud, wat ik bedoelde is dat Bruce Willis nog redelijk jong is in vergelijking met bv Chuck Norris, die al 74 (10 Maart 1940 geboren) is.Citaat:

Dat komt dan eerder in de buurt bij stokoud voor een actieheld, dan iemand die net 59 is.
Maar terugkomend op deze film hoop ik dat Samuel er in zit, wordt het misschien toch nog een mooie film, en niet zo'n mislukking als het 5e deel.
Het was eigenlijk naar Pieter toe..Aan ouderdom beken ik nog niks (Behalve uiterlijk)..zelfs in de aankomende T5 zal Arnold weer een hoofdrol op zich nemen..ondanks ouderdom krijgen deze iconische helden filmrollen aangeboden.
John McTiernan is toch recentelijk weer vrijgelaten? ;)Citaat:

^^McTiernan heeft sowieso getekend voor Red Squad eerst^^
Wel grappig dat die tweet van Latino Review door nieuwssites wordt opgepikt als "Sam Jackson in gesprek met Fox over een rol in Die Hard 6". Het nieuws lijkt me meer het feit dat Fox praat met mogelijke scenaristen. Dat Jackson in de tweet wordt genoemd komt op mij juist over als persoonlijke wishful thinking van de redacteur zelf. Maar ben blijkbaar de enige :p
Die Hard 6 Planned as Both a Prequel and a Sequel

Die Hard 6 may take place largely in 1979, following a younger John McClane
20th Century Fox has plans for another entry in the Die Hard franchise with Deadline today revealing the studios’ planned approach.
Die Hard 6 would tentatively feature the return of Bruce Willis as John McClane, but only to bookend a story set in 1979.
According to the outlet, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura is currently working with director Len Wiseman to develop the project.
Wiseman, who helmed 2007’s Live Free or Die Hard, will likely direct Die Hard 6.
Die Hard 6‘s 1979 storyline would be an “origin story” of sorts for McClane, delving into the protagonist’s time as a police officer with the NYPD.
McClane’s early years were also the focus of a Boom! Studios comic book series, Die Hard: Year One (pictured above).
Published in 2009 and 2010, the first four-issue miniseries was written by Howard Chaykin and took place in the Big Apple during the 1976 bicentennial.
Like the film series, Die Hard: Year One had McClane facing off against violent terrorists.
It was followed by another four-issue story, set during the 1977 New York blackout.
These new plans for the franchise sound like they’re replacing the version of Die Hard 6 that was rumored last year.
According to those still unconfirmed reports, 20th Century Fox was keen on bringing Samuel L. Jackson back to the Die Hard franchise, looking for the Academy Award nominee to reprise his Die Hard with a Vengeance role as Zeus Carver.
Of course, Jackson could still return for Die Hard 6 in some capacity.
Bruce Willis is no stranger to projects that also feature younger versions of his character. In fact, Willis has headlined a trio of time travel stories (12 Monkeys, The Kid, and Looper) in which he actually plays opposite other actors in the same role.
Willis most recently reprised the McClane role for 2013’s A Good Day to Die Hard.
Although it only grossed $67 million domestically, it turned out an impressive $304 million at the worldwide box office.

Benieuwd of dit van de grond komt...
The Die Hard prequel McClane died hard because of Disney
Though McClane, a theoretical reboot/prequel to the Die Hard franchise, continues to float around IMDb and Wikipedia filmographies, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura confirms to that the project is a no-go.
“Yeah, no, It’s not happening,” di Bonaventura told Polygon during press rounds for Snake Eyes, the latest installment of the G.I. Joe series. “But what was really interesting was we actually came up with an idea to do it. It was a project that wasn’t Die Hard that then, eventually, shifted over to Die Hard.”
The Die Hard movies have a legacy of repurposing original ideas into vehicles for Bruce Willis’ John McClane. After the success of the original 1988 film, 20th Century Fox executives acquired the rights to Walter Wager’s novel 58 Minutes and hired Die Hard screenwriter Steven E. de Souza to plug in McClane. Die Hard with a Vengeance began as an original action script before Warner Bros. rejiggered it into an installment of the Lethal Weapon franchise. When that didn’t work out, the studio sold the script off to Fox, where it was turned into a Die Hard.
McClane would have taken a similar approach, di Bonaventura said, and allowed Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard), who was announced for the project in 2015, the chance to work with Willis and a fresh face.
“What was interesting about our idea was it allowed you the ability to meet the young John McClane and use Bruce. So it was really interesting in that way. So you sort of got to see both versions of him. A bit [like The Godfather Part 2].”
Though many Die Hard 6 scripts were considered over the years — including Old Habits Die Hard, which made waves in 2013 for being written on spec and posted in full online — the prequel script involving parallel storylines was actually gaining steam ... and then Disney acquired Fox in 2019.
“I don’t know what their plans are,” di Bonaventura said of the franchise and character. Under the Walt Disney Corporation, the newly minted 20th Century Studios is just starting to dip into Fox’s extensive library for inspiration. A series of Simpsons shorts on Disney Plus have lampooned Disney products like Marvel and Star Wars. An Alien TV series is on its way from Fargo creator Noah Hawley. For now, John McClane lies dormant. But in the era of streaming content and IP demands, nothing dies — hard or otherwise.
