Could Bruce Willis’ John McClane be gearing up to fight another Gruber sibling in Die Hard 5?
This one doesn't feel like anything other than a long shot, and perhaps that's what it should be, too. But here goes.
You may already know that there are plans afoot for a fifth Die Hard movie. (In fact, the idea is apparently to take things to Die Hard 6, and leave the franchise at that point.) Bruce Willis has previously said that the script for the fifth film has been penned, and the idea is to shoot the movie at some point this year, for release in 2012.
However, over at What's Playing, there's a rumour that's cropped up, that suggests that the next Die Hard film will bring back the Gruber family for its villain. You might recall, then, that we had Hans Gruber in Die Hard, and Simon Gruber in Die Hard With A Vengeance. The chatter now is of a further sibling, although the gender of said sibling hasn't been talked about. Again, this is a pinch-of-salt rumour.
The working title for the film remains Die Hard 24/7.
