Bruce Willis Confirms DIE HARD 6 On The Way

While Stallone and Schwarzenegger are not fairing well at the box office, Bruce Willis' fifth Die Hard film could be a massive hit. It has more of an international appeal this round with it's Russian setting and is apart of an existing successful franchise. There had been rumors that this could John's son played by Jai Courtney could be taking over the franchise from an aging Willis. Bruce confirmed to BBC's One Show (via BleedingCool) that a six film is going to be made. Wether he'll be the lead is another story but if it's knockout he'll stick around for one more movie before giving the keys to Jai. Willis is making a slew of action films including Expendables 3 and Red 2 which could see his eventually retirement from the genre.

Paul Walker To Star In HITMAN Reboot

Deadline reports that Paul Walker (Fast And Furious franchise) has signed on to play the bald assassin in a reboot of Hitman based on the wildly popular video game series. They've brought back the original screenwriter Skip Woods (Die Hard 5) who is known for some really average at best action films such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The A-Team. Luckily, Predators co-writer Michael Finch has also contributed to the script, so it might have more a punch to it. They've hired Aleksander Bach as the film's director who will get his chance for his first feature debut working mostly on commercials. The film will begin production in June on location in Berlin and Singapore.

Oddly, enough I find it weird that Vin Diesel didn't get this role. Vin has more an international appeal and is bald in all his movies. Whatever keeps Walker from taking a role in Terminator 5 is fine with me. Fox might have learned from releasing both Die Hard 4 and Hitman as PG-13 cash-grabs moving forward with more of a R-rated feature. Infusing this reboot with tons of blood soaked squibs ala Django Unchained. Along with making it more about the assassinations rather than playing cat and mouse.

Sam Worthington Offered Role In 'TEN' Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger

ShowBlitz reports that Aussie actor Sam Worthington (Avatar) has been offered a co-starring role in the action thriller Ten. Screenwriter turned director David Ayer (End of Watch, Street Kings, Training Day) will helm the film with a script from Skip Woods (Swordfish, A Good Day To Die Hard) and already stars Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The film follows an elite DEA task force that robs a dangerous drug cartel under the guise of a tactical raid on one of its safe houses. They think they’ve gotten away with millions in merch, until team members begin getting bumped off one by one.

Major Updates On Die Hard 5!

Die Hard 5 is quickly coming together with the official title of A Good Day To Die Hard and the release date of February 14th 2013. John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines) will be directing with Bruce Willis coming back for one more ride as the iconic John McClane. The fifth film follows McClane as he travels to Russia to get his son out of jail, but accidentally uncovers a terrorist plot.

Variety reports a shortlist of actors who will test for the role of McClane's son. The list includes Ben Foster (Messenger, Rampart, Mechanic), Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Milo Ventimiglia (Pathology, Gamer) and Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood, Cowboys & Aliens). Paul Walker is also a studio hopeful but will not be testing. There is talk that this actor will carry on the Die Hard franchise similar to how Jeremy Renner is replacing Tom Cruise for future Mission Impossible films. Knowing that this actor could keep the franchise going I'd prefer Ben Foster getting the job since he's able to handle drama and mindless action. Yet, I wouldn't count out Milo and Aaron who are both interesting enough to keep up with Willis.
