Check out the new Die Hard Trailer.

Live Free or Die Hard

Justin Long, also knowned as the Mac guy in Apple's ad, is in it. I hope he won't use a PC in the movie.

I wonder what 80s action star will revive an old franchise next.

It's not like Hollywood can think up something new

That and nostalgia sells big lately. Gen X craves it big time (apparently).

Hrrrmmmrnmm...

I guess, since DH3 was already one of the worst movies I ever saw, this piece can't be worse, can it?
My guess is a mixture of Triple-X, Terminator 3 accompanied by some Matricks trix.

I'm hoping for Bill and Ted vs Predator.

Only one is 80s, and neither is action. Good job.

I'm hoping they make a reference to his commecials... that'd be hilarious. Like if he was trying to make a home movie or something... or ... he works at an apple store. Whatever. It'd be funny. Kinda like the 'woah' in the matrix.

DH3 is one of the worst movies you ever saw? Seriously?

It's certainly not as bad as you claimed. It's a matter of personal preference. I enjoyed DH3 for its unique twist on DH1. It may not be the best film but calling it one of the worst movies is going too far in my opinion.

Isn't there another Rambo movie in the works too?

What we need is another Police Academy.

Well, I don't include Karate Warrior 11 into that reflection - or any "moovies" in that class. My disappointment came from the high opinion I have from DH1, which was a milestone imho. DH2 was solid action with good actors but already let loose of the Die Hard scheme (closed place, protagonist<->antagonist, minimalistic warfare...), DH3 betrayed that completely. Probably I wouldn't hate it so much, if it wouldn't have been marketed as a DH movie...

So they are playing on the whole patriotism thing or what? I can't tell what the plot is going to be from that trailer. Sounds like they're going that route though. That's strike 1.

Yeah, for real. God forbid they make a movie that doesn't criticize patriotism in America. What are they thinking?

there's a lot more car chases than I remember in the original die hard movies. Doesn't there have to be a hostage situation too?

Like the last line in the trailer though.

Maybe they need to make Lethal Weapon 5.

I liked Die Hard 3. S. Jackson was a great racist.

Cool, they shot some of that within 2 miles of where I live.

One scene is that big truck crashing into those cars.

Gads, I was hoping it would be good. It looks like a bunch of nothing but car crashes into everything including helicopters.

Yeah! Mel could get arrested and spew a drunken tirade from the back of a police car!
