Noam Murro had been attached to direct Die Hard 5 since June, taking over for Live Free or Die Hard’s Len Wiseman, who’s now directing a Total Recall remake starring Colin Farrell. But Murro recently had to leave the project in order to work on the 300 sequel, 300: Battle of Artimisia. BUT FEAR NOT, DEAR READER! THAT WON’T STOP HOLLYWOOD’S PLANS FOR DIE HARD NUMBER WHATEVER THIS IS!
Who will take the helm in his place? Nothing is definite yet but our sources tell us that John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines, Max Payne) has been told that the film is essentially his to take or leave.
While the directing situation on Die Hard 5 is not yet clear we do have the first real plot details for the picture. In keeping with the trend of each Die Hard movie being larger than the last the fifth installment is going to move into international territory. Our sources tell us Die Hard 5 will be set largely in Russia with John McClane accompanied there by his son and the two drawn into a conflict with local forces. Cue multi-generational wisecracking.

Just to recap, the director of the previous unnecessary sequel left to do an unnecessary remake, and then his replacement left to do an unnecessary sequel. And now the unnecessary sequel to the last unnecessary sequel will probably be left in the hands of a guy who last directed a universally-pannedadaptation of a videogame. And people say Hollywood’s out of ideas.
I remember Ben Stiller making fun of Die Hard when Ben Stiller still had a show on MTV.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the next Die Hard was just Bruce Willis being uncooperative while Tracy Morgan runs around him
If given the choice between living free and dying hard, I guess I’d choose living free.
At the end of this one, they should reveal that the Die Hard movies have all taken place in the mind of an autistic child playing with action figures.
His son? I thought he had a (smoking hot) daughter in Die Hard 4: iHard (get it??? the mac guy was in it! lolz) Does he have multiple children? Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
At the end of this one they should just stop already.*
*Said after Die Hard
Biggest surprises:
1) Banner pic doesn’t feature ice cream Vince Vaughn
2) unnecessary 300 sequel not called 3D0
Yabba dabba doo dabba debbe dabba debbe dabba
I wonder if he will sucker punch a jet plane while chasing a brilliant computer wizard who has cast his hacks all over Europe. Of course he will.
The second movie in this series had a fax machine joke when that was new technology. This one should be Die Hard in a Hospice.
You know how a bad thing may happen to somebody and you’re all, “Yikes, that sucks!” And then another thing happens to that persone and you’re all, “Dude, bum luck, bro!” Then something else happens and you’re all, “Dag karma, yo!” And then something else happens and you’re all, “OK, you must be a fucking asshole because this shit doesn’t happen to people who aren’t huge gaping quivering assholes.”
Conclusion, John McClane is a huge gaping quivering asshole.
They should do Die Hard And Aliens
So, what are the chances McClane will flash his badge and identify himself as “NYPD”. In English. To a Russian.
Pretty good, you say? Alright then.
I always thought Ben Stiller’s show was on Fox.
“In keeping with the trend of each Die Hard movie being larger than the last the fifth installment is going to move into international territory.”
DIE HARD 6: WHERE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU DIE – McClane in SPACE!
DIE HARD 7: MOMENT OF DEATH – McClane battles through TIME!
DIE HARD 8: I’M SO HARD RIGHT NOW – McClane fights GOD!
DIE HARD 9: HEAVENLY HARDER – McClane IS god! Clashes with other gods, possibly titans.
DIE HARD 10: THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST. HARD. – McClane goes back in time and destroys Hollywood before Die Hard is greenlit, the universe sighs in relief as it ceases to exist due to paradox.
I’d love to try and say something witty but to try and improve on Vince’s complete fucking nailing it here would expose me for the pale imitation I am. Well done, sir. You have described this stinking pile of crap with a crystal clarity that can never be matched. Damn you, bastard!

Of course Die Hard 5 is going international…. It has to. But they’re “jumping the shark”. You gotta leave room to do plenty of movies before Die Hard has to go intergalactic.
They should’ve restricted DH5 to the western hemisphere! Set it in Cancun or Playa…. You know?!?!?
It practically titles itself!!
