"Live Free or Die Hard" is the fourth installment of the franchise which finds hero John McClane coming out of retirement to battle an internet terrorist organization intending to systematically demolish or seize our technological infrastructure via a three-day plan. These guys will gradually step up malfunctions starting with traffic control systems, working towards economic markets, and finally shutting down key utilities like power and water, to send the U.S. essentially into a modern Dark Ages.

Apparently, there was an earlier version of the script that was to include shots of New Orleans:

In a somewhat unsettling coincidence, an early script for Die Hard 4 – a project which Bruce Willis has apparently committed to shooting this fall – hit the net this week, and many who have seen it are cringing over a scene that takes place in a flooded New Orleans.

The draft reviewed by Latino Review was written by Mark Bomback, and is actually an adaptation of an existing script called – wait for it – World War 3.com. This draft is currently undergoing a rewrite by frequent Willis clean-up man Doug Richardson, so it would seem highly likely that all references to New Orleans would be wiped from any draft used for shooting. Still, it's not a little eerie to read about what was to have been.

John McClane, the rebel policeman played by Willis in the three previous incarnations, has moved on from the NYPD; he's now "divorced, he's much older, in and out of Alcoholic's Anonymous" – and, natch, he's working for the Department of Homeland Security. It's McClane's job to go after hackers, and we just happen to drop in on him as a team of vaguely Eurocentric cyber pranksters are plotting a massive operation....

As McClane is transporting an (unrelated) hacker from New York to Washington D.C., the cyber terrorists strike, and within hours, the NYC transit system, the NYSE, and the systems controlling the nation's ATMs have all crashed. The hacker in McClane's custody figures out that the other hackers are following the instructions in a book (written by yet another hacker) called, How to Crash an Empire in Three Days. The film then turns into a buddy movie of sorts, as McClane and his criminal charge traipse about the country looking for the real e-evildoers.

This is where the whole enterprise gets prophetic. The good hacker predicts that something bad is going to go down in New Orleans: the empire-crashing how-to said something about splitting the country in two, and if one was to bomb the Port of New Orleans, it would shut down the Mississippi River and essentially do just that. So McClane and his new friend head down there – only to watch an explosion on the Huey P. Long Bridge, one that Latino Review describes as "beyond massive, flipping nearby vessels and sending 70 ft waves in both directions", and presumably wrecking havoc similar to what I've been seeing on CNN all week.

It goes without saying that this scene would be impossible to film at this point – but it's still fascinating to read about, if for no other reason than that it strikes one more blow to various officials' "who woulda thunk it?" defense.

film: live free or die hard

saw it last night... what a weird flick. try imagining 16 Blocks meets Swordfish meets True Lies and it's more or less an accurate portrayal of exactly what happens.

Dig this crazy shit: the terrorist is American and the main FBI guy looks extremely Arabic! Then there's all the technocrazyhackershit a la Swordfish including a sexy asian hacker babe, a McClane vs. VTOL-capable fighter jet a la True Lies. Then there's Kevin Smith who plays a genius hacker (named W4r10ck and yes, apparently 'blackhats' still use numbers in place of letters when choosing pseudonyms, and YES, they ARE obese, Star-Wars-obsessed 35 year-olds living in their parents' basement!) Ok ok, now if ALL THAT weren't enough there's even the french dude straight outta District B13 doing his five minutes of fame parkour tricks

NSFW:

and of course McClane wastes him Temple of Doom style entirely reminiscent of a previous Die Hard.

I guess I don't need to mention the fucking MAC DUDE doing his bit, who looks so much like Keanu that I would have mistaken the entire film for the Matrix had he not been completely useless except for the last ten minutes (Ok ok, so he does some technohacker bullshit with a random cellphone that somehow survives all the falling and explosions and beatings along with the other technoshit in his supercharged bag of uber-expensive tricks.)

Did I mention it's PG-13? Everyone is shot at least ten times but surprisingly only McClane actually bleeds! You see some mofo being shot right in front of a fucking pristine white car and he falls all over it leaving not a trace of blood; then

NSFW:

french dude falls into a blender and vanishes through those hella sharp blades leaving no blood trace...

basically, fucking disney movies have more blood. I'm pretty fucking sure I even saw the BIGGEST faux-pas of all, swear words dubbed over while the actor's mouth is clearly saying something ELSE. I've honestly seen better edits done on TBS

I may have let the other lack of complete realism (like McClane and the mac fucker being about 2" away from like ... ten atomic-bomb-sized explosions and suffering absolutely no hearing damage whatsoever) slide but considering that the famous die hard catchphrase was used in one of the worst spots and the expletive deleted by a gunblast before even getting two syllables into our favorite four syllabled curse word, and also considering that there's not a single original thing about this fucking movie, please consider adding a NO STAR entry to any poll that may be tacked onto this thread.

It's really only possible to enjoy this if you see it so drunk that you're really just watching it to see shit blow up. Why i'm really pissed is that this piece of shit got the best rating of the die hard movies on IMDb when it's by far the worst. There is actually NO suspense. Even in the most suspenseful moment, I no longer gave four tenths of a thousandth of a fuck.

^ i Dl ed this movie from tpb, i thought it sucked. the movie quality wasnt too bad or anything, its just that the movie was lame. i was expecting some crazy shit to happen. the end was totally lame. it had the guy from the girl nextdoor as the badguy. he does play a good bad guy, but *SPOILER ALERT* brillis shoots him thru himself and thats it. i wanted to see him get blown up or electruced, or both at once or something.

if i had actually payed to see this movie, i would be pissed.

 

[L2R]

i'll get a copy today, but i just want to say, i very much prefer the hilarious american title to the ultra gay aussie one "die hard 4.0"

 

[alasdairm]

rate this film

[DigitalDuality]

i refuse to watch this.

Die Hard is supposed to be rated R and the mpaa can suck my dick. I won't even bothering downloading this to possibly brag to someone, so that they might possibly be slightly influenced to watch it to.

 

[L2R]

yeah the first one is classick

The movie was immpossible to follow for me and my friends due to being on heroin. I reccomend seeing this movie sober. I wasnt nodding out but I had no fucking clue what was happening.
