Re: Fox developing combo Die Hard prequel/sequel
Well, it's a prequel, so it kind of is ignoring all of the previous films. How does a prequel work with Willis looking 30 years older than he did in the first?

They're going to have a 20-something actor as a rookie McClane running around on New Year's Eve 1980. It will cut back and forth to 2020 or whatever with the Willis version.
Wiseman said that the 1979-stuff will directly impact whatever is happening in the present day, whatever that means. Maybe McClane investigation a cold case from that era?

That actually sounds interesting. And there is no way they can ignore all the sequels. McClane as a character is loaded with puns and "oh not this again" attitude which are directly linked to the sequels.

Re: Fox developing combo Die Hard prequel/sequel
There’s definitely potential with the approach as long as they nail the casting and the central mystery is intriguing. I guess the big change-up here is that it’s going to be a fairly low wattage adventure (at least in the 79 portion) although I’m sure they’ll sneak in an explosion or two somehow.

I'm actually looking forward to a low-key cop thriller rather than some big terrorist thing again. They should Logan-ize all franchises from now on.

I'll only see this if JGL is the "young" version of McClane.

I can't think of anyone who would be good. Gotta be early-mid 20's at oldest.

It will be Alden Ehrenreich. He is the new Jai Courtney.
