Work is continuing on Die Hard: Year One, to be directed by Len Wiseman (who did the PG-13 fourth one).

Hmm, the 4th one was ok, called Die Hard 4.0 here, didn't watch the 5th more than once.
Anyway, so a prequel, probably won't rush out to catch it but likely to check it out later on.

It's 50/50 prequel/sequel. With Bonnie Bedelia reprising her part... maybe.

Wanna know something funny about Die Hard? The second movie is based on a book that had nothing to with Nothing Lasts Forever (the book Die Hard was based on), it didn't even have the same author. The third started out as a script called Simon Says and the movie was going to star Brandon Lee, but when he died they just turned it into a Die Hard sequel. The fourth one didn't even start with a book or a repurposed script, it's based on a journalistic article. I can't find any evidence that part five started out in any weird way, but there were rumors that it was intended as a 24 crossover.

Ironically, despite Nothing Lasts Forever being a sequel to The Detective, Die Hard isn't a sequel to the movie adaptation. It's just funny to me.

Live Free or Die Hard was pretty fun, so I'll keep an eye on this.

Die Hard 4.0 is too much cgi and I don’t really like the pacing/characters in DH5.

But hey I probably still check a new DH film. The first trilogy was the best.

Well, whatever they want to cook up it can't be worse than DH5.

DH5 was pretty bad.

Now it's just called "McClane." meh.

The movie is also not a prequel. The movie will feature John McClane in his 20s and during his 60s. So I would assume they have a story will have John McClane being affected by something that happened to him during his younger years. Which then comes back to him on present day. The story will probably have ties that lead from the past to the present time.

That's been well known for a couple of years now.

My guess is a villain in the past returns in the present. And we get to see him meet his wife in the past, then reunite in the present.

In theory it could work really well. Hopefully Jackson is in it.

And now it's dead.

Good. We didn't need (nor want) this one... There will be a straggler here or there that's sad for it not being made, but let's face it - when a studio won't push a cash cow that right there is immediate evidence that no one needed this movie.

[Andrew NDB]

I dunno. Yeah I was burned by the last 2 (each of the two in almost opposite ways) and yeah I'd had 0 faith in Len Wiseman doing something grand for a 6th... but I was still digging the idea of some final Die Hard movie bringing things full circle.

[Sumac]

Good.
DH5 was garbage, so I don't want to think what kind of **** they'd do with a prequel.
I am almost sure they would have mixed Gruber somehow into this or some other villains from past (future) movies, just to make a grand twist.
