Bruce Willis to Return as John McClane in Die Hard 4
Source: Variety Monday, October 13, 2003

20th Century Fox has hired Mark Bomback to write Die Hard 4, which centers on the continuing adventures of rogue hero John McClane. Pending approval of the script, Bruce Willis would return in the role and produce through his Cheyenne Productions.

Bomback wrote the upcoming Godsend, starring Robert De Niro and Greg Kinnear, for Lions Gate Films. The scribe also worked with Cheyenne on Reunion, The Tourist and Me Again.

Fox envisions the film as a tentpole that could resume the franchise.

I just saw Casablanca. Rick Blaine was definitly a badass before motherfucking was even invented. He also wins at best cig smoking.
Peter Lorre was pretty badass too.
If the make that remake (which they shouldn't) Steve Buscemi should play his character.

[coffeebeetle]

Steve Buscemi should play his character.

Good call.  If they must create a remake....blech.

[ShanghaiOrange]

Jesus.

I just saw Double Indemnity. Walter Neff was a fucking badass and, like Rick Blaine, wins at cig smoking too.

I wish I could light matches like that.

Shit, I had a animated gif of that I would use it as my avater, it's so badass.

That will probably come down to Jules and Shaft.

That will probably come down to Jules and Shaft.

I don't know, Shaft has a difficult bracket.

[ShanghaiOrange]

Yeah, but on the other hand, he's fucking Shaft.
