RE: Baywatch a big ol MEH from me, thought the show was dumb (not to say i didnt watch the slow motion running scenes as a kid ) RE: Star Wars, i weould have thought the December release date was the original target date, xmas around the corner can only mean merchandise $$ in a frenzy Timeline was pretty tight for Star Wars too. They just started principle shooting so its not that tight. But given the success of TFA, it makes sense to keep the same release date and to allow for the anticipation to build up all throughout 2017. Provides a better buffer between Rogue One and Episode VIII. Baywatch could be fun. I was never a fan of the show although I remember watching the pilot (see how old I am?) which was pretty different from the actual series. Rock is a smart guy and he and Effron together should be a lot of fun.

I've made my comments on 4 clear. 5 was not as bad as I heard it was. Sadly they went with that blue filter look for the movie. Could have set up Jai as the new Die Hard. I'm still waiting for Die Hard on a boat - that could be awesome.

The Unknown Poster Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 If they had just kept the Die Hard formula it would have worked. Even the idea that its ridiculous for the same thing to happen to the same guy 3 or 4 or 5 times, thats the hook! And keep John as just a regular good cop, not a friggen action star. The one great thing about casting Bruce Willis was that he was known for his comedy roles (Moonlighting). And people were angry, thinking it was a joke. He helped usher in the new era of action starts that were sensitive and "average" as opposed to muscleheads. Whomever they cast as young John, they should look to people with strong comedic timing, not an action star.
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Posted January 21, 2016 Seems like they went every route with willis' character, 1 & 2 was with his wife(ex), 3 was paired up with a joe nobody (jackson) 4 was with his daughter and partnered up with justin long, then 5 was with his son. unless his parents are to be slated for a prequel, seems his introduction in the first die hard was he was just an average NYC cop, not a warrior against terrorists The Unknown Poster 1

Taynted_Fayth Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Im not sure who I'd cast as a young McClane, Willis himself was 33 in Die Hard (1988) but the character might be older and i cant really think of anyone in their 30s fitting that bill Joseph Gordon-Levitt is 34 Edited January 21, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) LOL wait they did that movie looper together playing the same guy maybe this guy, ben lil bro casey Edited January 21, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth
The Unknown Poster Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 The new Die hard is supposed to be ten years before the first film. So look at someone early 20's
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) in that case I like Evan Peters from American Horror Story, hes a good actor just pleeeeease please dont be shia labeouf Edited January 21, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth
The Unknown Poster Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 I'd cast someone more known for comedy and try to recapture what made Bruce Willis so awesome in the first place.
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) that's a tough stipulation to cast, most young people are pretty cut and dry one style or another, its usually later in their careers onces the've been established they try 180's on their roles. couple of the few that are a little of both action humor are a little too old already, like Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pine, tom Hardy Edited January 21, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth
The Unknown Poster Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Zac Efron wouldnt be bad if he wasnt so darn handsome. Too handsome for this role.
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I watched Escobar: Paradise Lost yesterday, the older brother from the Space Jumanji, Zathura, might have been in a Hunger Games too, but he was the main character in Escobar, he wasnt bad in that movie Josh Hutcherson, hes 23 Edited January 21, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth

Taynted_Fayth Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) lol might be but camera angles did wonders for stallone this is the Escobar trailer, even tho the movie came out in 2014, with some camera love i think he could play the part of a young McClane as a young cop 10 years of NYC crime made him into the older shoe leather mcclane lol Edited January 21, 2016 by Taynted_Fayth
Noeller Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) If there's one thing Stallone's "Expendables" tried to tell us, is that there's too many p*ssies trying to be action heroes (Hutcherson...Ephron...seriously??) these days. Back in the day, it was legit tough guys like Stallone, Willis, Arnold and others. You wanna do a prequel for DH, fine....but make it a tough guy....make it a man. Edited January 21, 2016 by Noeller

I dont disagree but you aint gonna find too many ppl that could probably fit the bill and be believable to Bruce Willis (who will be in the movie too) maybe Ryan Reynolds back when he did Van Wilder?
FrostyWinnipeg Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Here's a pic of young Bruce. If Die Hard 6 is him at this age then who should play him? Efron? Edited January 21, 2016 by FrostyWinnipeg
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Posted January 21, 2016 LOL! look at that hair! reminds me of when I cut a chuck of my hair in the front in elementary school trying to pull off the "Edward Furlong as John Connor" look

You mean like the TV actor lead in a comedy drama like bruce Willis was in the 80's? Yup. Big action star. That's the gist of our discussion that they should not be casting an action star and trying to capture what made die hard cool and bruce Willis and "new" kind of so called action star
