Why is John McClane (Bruce Willis) smiling? Because our sources have informed us that A Good Day to Die Hard is rated R! This means that McClane and son (Jai Courtney) are about to go apeshit on a bunch of Russian criminals and are free to curse as loud as they want and shed as much blood as possible along the way. Fans had been a little worried that director John Moore’s picture, the fifth in the Die Hard series, would be rated PG-13 like its predecessor, Live Free or Die Hard. Rest assured that the new film should look a lot more like the originals if the R rating is any indication.
Also starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, A Good Day to Die Hard opens February 14th. Hit the jump to watch the most recent trailer for A Good Day to Die Hard.

Is everyone f*cking happy now?
I know I am! But mostly because I love these kind of movies and I am glad that they are making another one
I hope this is true. Die Hard needs to be rated R. Not watered-down. Yippee Ki Yay!
This film looks like garbage despite the R rating. The 24 movie would have been better and it’s ready to go if fox ever decides to make the movie.
Where did you hear that the 24 movie was ready to go? Last I heard, they didn’t have a script for it yet. But I do agree with you about it being made. Except that it should be made on TV so the fans don’t have to go to the theaters and pay for it. That would be the best thing to do seeing as how the fans have been loyal to the show for so long, it would only make sense.
I would see that Die Hard movie and that made me happy when it will be rated R. But I will not see that 24 movie because killing Renee Walker was a huge mistake on their part. So I won’t see the 24 movie in protest over the producer’s descision to kill off Renee Walker.
Daniel san, the ’24′ movie script is indeed finished and ready to go since late spring last year, but there was supposedly too little time to prep it for production before Kiefer Sutherland would’ve had to return to filming on ‘Touch’, so it (the ’24′ movie) was postponed to this year… in actual fact, it didn’t happen last year because FOX was being tight with the budget. I sincerely hope it will be shot this summer as planned, if it doesn’t happen this year, I greatly fear it won’t happen at all…
Yeah, The Expendables 2 and Prometheus were “rated-R” as well. The R-rating is nothing more than a marketing ploy with these large properties. They film them as PG-13, gauge the fan reaction to marketing and anticipation, if the fan base seems to demand an R, they oblige, and throw in an extra F-bomb and some CGI blood splatter. These are NOT the R’s of the 80′s action films.
YES! Best news of the year so far!
slapping it with an safe R rating wont make this any better, or make us forget any easier the last die hard and how much that sucked.
As long as john mcclane isnt running from twenty suspended cars in the air or throwing enemies through walls like superman, I’m fine. they should’ve stopped at saving his idiot daughter in the last movie- the fact that we have to see his son be a fuck up, is just boring and filler shit. we see the movie to see bruce willis not for his parenting.
I feel like die hard has lost its soul- an everyman cop who deals with shit HIS way, even if its not the best idea or the easiest way to do it- he always makes it out okay because of his wit and instinct, not because he can shoot a gun a certain way, or kung fu a bunch of baddies or set off an explosion at just the right time for everything to be all okay!! ugh.
AWESOME!!!
Yes. Finally.
KhaaaaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRn.
Nice to see the franchise go back to the R rating, but after the last one and seeing the trailers for this one I still have my doubts.
I think your exclusivity was a bit short-lived Collider… IGN posted an article a few hours after your own saying “their sources” told them it would be rated R.
that’s fine. We posted this last night. Hence the “exclusive”
I don’t see how making the film R will automatically make it better. I didn’t realize the franchise was about blood and vulgarity. I thought it was about an ordinary (extraordinary at this point) underdog fighting against impossible odds. The need by some people to have a film be rated “R” for them to enjoy it is a bit juvenile.
I think the first Die Hard is a near-perfect film. It largely has to do with McClane being an all too human guy facing the impossible and doing it with a joke always at the ready. Willis somewhere through his life seems to have lost that spark that gave McClane such energy. His stiffness causes me more concern than the film’s rating.
Hey Ash… Go fuck yourself.
Hey Matt1
Let me buy you a beer!
I don’t see what the big deal is. Live Free or Die Hard when it was released on DVD had the unrated version that put some violence and swearing back in. It barely made it better and the only difference was the addition of a couple “fucks” instead of saving the one “fuck” so it would have a pg-13.
*shrugs*
When Alien vs Predator was released with a PG 13 rating most fans assumed it sucked because of it. We were so happy when Fox announced that Alien vs Predator 2 would be R.
Man, was that a Suckfest, it made AvP 1 look like a part of the original series. Characters and Story make a film worthwhile, not obscenities. (Though I love funny brutalities as much as the next guy)
