There has been some rumblings regarding the sixth Die Hard movie. Dear God, the sixth.

The fifth movie, A Good Day to Die Hard, came out in 2013 to an above average $300+ million worldwide box office, but got slaughtered by…just about everyone who was stupid enough to go and see it.

It seems that the sixth entry in the series, which was rumored to be called Die Hard: Year One has a script and a new title according to producer Lorenzo diBonaventura.

“You can tell our intention by the fact that the title page we handed in says, ‘McCLANE’,” producer Lorenzo diBonaventura told Empire. “We want you to get invested in John McClane more than ever before.” He added that, despite rumours that the prequel section would take up more of the runtime, the sequel-prequel approach will feature Bruce Willis just as much as his younger incarnation. “I don’t know how you do Die Hard without Bruce,” he said. “The idea that he’s not very significant in this movie is not accurate at all. We are gonna explore John McClane in his twenties. But just as prominent is the 60-year-old version.”

The script was handed in back in July and Len Wiseman is set to direct. The movie currently has no release date, but principal photography is expected to begin soon.
