As early as 1997, just two short years after the third Die Hard, 20th Century Fox and Bruce Willis picked up a script titled Tears of the Sun, which was set entirely in the Amazon jungle, focusing on a group of kidnap victims on the run from a violent drug cartel.At one point, it was due to be directed by John Woo , and was also almost reworked into a modern retelling of Tarzan.

Jump forward to 2005, a script titled WW3.com - from the same writer of Will Smith's 1998 techno-thriller Enemy Of The State - was resurrected, after being buried several years earlier in light of the 9/11 attacks. The script was based on an article in Wired Magazine, which predicted an attack procedure known as a"fire sale", in which a co-ordinated cyber-terrorist attack on a country's transportation, telecommunications, financial, and utilities infrastructure systems would essentially bring the nation to its knees.

One of the changes during the many rewrites was the removal of John McClane's son, who was originally to be the hacker that he had to deliver to the FBI . The inclusion of McClane's son was eventually carried over to the fifth movie. 2013's A Good Day To Die Hard was the very first movie to begin its life as a Die Hard movie. Having broken the good luck charm of adapting non-Die Hard scripts into big Die Hard movies, it might be why it is the worst of the lot by a wide margin.🎧 LISTEN: End of season awards, Irish Team of the URC and All Blacks series preview, with Darren Cave
