A Good Day to Die Hard should have been a franchise-killer.  It was almost completely devoid of merit, no longer understood the character, and the domestic box office wasn’t particularly overwhelming.  But like its title, you can’t easily nix the franchise, and work is underway on Die Hard 6.  Tentatively titled “Die Hardest“, Ben Trebilcook is reportedly writing a treatment, which means the project is still at a very early stage.  Trebilcook is currently at work on the videogame-themed action flick Knockout, which brought him into the orbit of A Good Day to Die Hard consulting producer, Larry D. Webster.  However, it’s worth noting that only Fox can authorize a new script, so either Webster is pursuing it on behalf of the studio, or there has been a misunderstanding between the parties involved.

Earlier today I was on AMC Movie Talk hosted by John Campea.   We talked about our thoughts on the Star Wars spinoff movies, whether we think J.J. Abrams will direct the Portal or Half-Life movies, the Star Trek sequel, Die Hard 6, Godzilla, if Venom be in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, found footage movies, whether Marvel might buy back Spider-Man from Sony, and a lot more.  So if you’d like to see what I had to say on any of those subjects, watch it after the jump.
