Sigh: Do we really need to see another Die Hard movie? Bruce Willis jumpstarted his career as a big-screen action man playing New York City cop John McClane in the 1988 blockbuster, which went on to spawn three follow-ups. Now 54, the actor is making plans to return to the Die Hard franchise, confirming that a fifth installment is currently in the works. The action star has suggested that he could “Die Hard” once more by the end of 2011.
Bruce says he’s in negotiations to reprise the role he made famous more than two decades ago — and he’s hoping to get Len Wiseman, who helmed 2007’s Live Free or Die Hard, to return for the next project.
“I think we’re going to do a Die Hard 5 next year. I would hire Len Wiseman right now (to direct).”
