"Hmm, what can I say? What can I say? What am I allowed to say? OK, without spoiling too much, I can say that McClane is invited to Tokyo by the Nakatomi Corporation to be commended for his bravery and efforts in saving 36 lives, celebrating this on the 30th anniversary of the Naktatomi Hostage Crisis. It’s by no means Black Rain. Perhaps has a slight Rising Sun type tone. It’s also not a double-act buddy-buddy story. McClane began on his own and should end on his own. Of course he’s had assistance in various guises, aiding him in his ventures; but it’s not Lethal Weapon or a Jackie Chan film.

"McClane is a gunslinger. A now retired, worn-out, tired, busted and broken cowboy. Everything he’s been through has to be taken into account. Yes, it’s a movie, but he isn’t invincible. He was never Bond. That’s what was so appealing to me with Bruce’s character. He got hurt. I see the first one as a drama with elements of action. It took its time to set up the story and unfold great characters. I believe I got that and also what I call ‘the hose-reel moment’. You know, when McClane, in the first Die Hard leaped off the building with a fire hose, before it went kaboom; in the second, he ejects himself from the plane when he’s surrounded by grenades and in the third, he’s shot out the tunnel, through the air with a gush of water. I’ve got that ‘hose-reel moment’, as well as that cringing ‘glass pulling from the feet’ type scene. Man, that gets me every time. Pursued by bad guys; does he face them and die, or retreat, barefoot, across broken glass? THEN picks out itty bitty shards from his cut feet. Great acting, too. Bruce has done some neat films: Twelve Monkeys, Unbreakable, Last Boy Scout, Mortal Thoughts, Pulp Fiction. He may regret turning down Swayze’s role in Ghost, but.. anyway, Die Hard 6…

"My story, being set in Japan, obviously has Nakatomi playing an extremely significant role; in a way that.. well, it’s John McClane in Japan and if you’ve seen any Japanese movies or at least know anything about their culture at all, you know it would have a lot of potential to be nuts. It’s not Ichi The Killer, but it is crazy and as real as you can get in these realms. It’s violent, but not over the top nor unnecessarily Loony Tune like Olympus. It’s well researched, faithful to the franchise, yet giving a possible audience such a refreshing punch to the face, they’ll be saying ‘Wow. I really wasn’t expecting that.’ You want a nugget, don’t you? I’m pretty sure it’s out there. A few Japanese fans on Twitter put two and two together when I uploaded a picture of a Katana (Samurai Sword) with some kanji reading ‘Zeus’. Yes, I’ve written Zeus Carver in for Samuel L Jackson.

"Like I said before, it’s not a buddy-buddy script, but you can’t ignore him. Zeus played a major part in McClane’s life. They went through a lot together. They would certainly, without a doubt, still be in contact. A guy I know, Stel, wrote the 51st State (aka Formula 51) with Sam the Man. I put the idea to him and he said Sam would probably love to have a sword in a movie; that’s how you could woo him. Let’s say I have a Better Tomorrow 2 vibe. Have you seen that film? Tell you what else? Probably the best ‘Yippie Ki Yay’ one could ever hope for."

[Iono]

Wasn't the last one super horrible?

[Insanecyclone]

Isn't this supposed to be the last?

[Petitssk]

I liked the fifth movie, though I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Best to wait and see.

No Jeremy Irons, NO DIE HARD

Besides, as fun as Irons is, if they were to bring back a Gruber surely Alan Rickman's Hans would be the better choice. In fact maybe they will; did we ever see his body at the end of the first Die Hard? Obviously in the world of that film he's dead, because a fall from a skyscraper doesn't leave much room for ambiguity. But the Die Hard world has become increasingly cartoonish through the sequels. So if John McClane, everyman cop, can literally fight an F35 jet fighter, I don't think a resurrected bionic Hans Gruber is off the table. Afterall, its set in Japan, they're big on robotics stuff. And they're apparently going big on tying it into the first one. Oh god thats what its going to be.

[Cutriss]

Old habits

[Tyrath]

Throw logic out the window and bring Alan Rickman back, that'd be amazing.

[ronin sparthos]

More disappointing the title pun sucks.

[Laugana]

If they bring back Alan Rickman, he's obviously going to play Hans' twin brother.

[wipers]

I rather them turn this into a real McBain from the Simpsons.

[Correction]

No Jeremy Irons, NO DIE HARD

Subtitle Changed to "McLane," Updated Synopsis

We are gonna explore John McClane in his twenties. But just as prominent is the 60-year-old version.

So.. it's going to be a flashback film.
