I’ll Believe It When I See It

If you were looking for a sign as to where Hollywood has decided the future of movies exists (or if you have been walking around with blinders on for the last 15 years), Total Film is reporting Ben Trebilcook‘s treatment for Die Hard 4 is bring brought back to life as a potential Die Hard 6.

Trebilcook’s spec was discarded for a different take, which ultimately became Live Free or Die Hard and now his tentatively titled Die Hardest has gained support from A Good Day To Die Hard. consulting producer, Larry D. Webster, but is far from a sure thing.

Total Film reports the story begins in New York, before moving to Tokyo, which will be the predominant location, and Trebilcook tells the site, “It is extremely faithful to the franchise and characters and is a natural progression. It’s also a very plausible storyline.”

He also adds, “Getting Larry’s support was great, but there are many hurdles to leap yet and two of those are called Bruce Willis and [producer] Alex Young. [There’s] the possibility producers might go back and find some other source material to base the next one on, like they did with the first and second. Mine though, I feel it could be the Rocky Balboa of the Die Hard franchise.”

Considering Willis is now making films such as Red 2 and G.I. Joe: Retaliation it’s hard to believe he would be too discerning when it comes to a franchise that has all but been put to rest. If he believes A Good Day to Die Hard was worth following up in any respect I would think just about any story would satisfy his needs.
