Bruce Willis, the face behind the character John McClane in the Die Hard quadrilogy has answered some questions in a virtual press conference that could possibly bring out a new Die Hard. Willis has said he wants to do a Die Hard prequel, which would be extremely hard due to the 52 year old slowly aging away.
Willis was asked by a fan if he would shoot Die Hard 5 in Mexico, when Willis responded that he would be up for a Die Hard 5 but it is an American film and there is a chance he would shoot it in Mexico but would prefer to shoot in the US of A. According to MTV the conference had a lot of irrelevant questions and only a few were good ones.
“I would definitely consider doing a ‘Die Hard 5,’ and I would consider doing it anywhere,” Willis responded to an avatar from Mexico who asked if Willis would shoot it in his country. “I would prefer to shoot in the United States; I think ‘Die Hard’ has always been an American film.”
That same question got Willis talking about Die Hard 5 could’ve been a prequel. The possibility to carry the cop back in time has kind of dissipated due to him getting on age wise. All I hope is they don’t do a Die Hard 5 prequel with another character playing McClane.
here was a time when we discussed doing another ‘Die Hard’ as doing a prequel — kind of John McClane, the early years,” the actor remembered. “But I’ve kind of missed that window now, unless they come up with some type of new technology where they can smooth out these wrinkles — you know, these laugh lines — that I have on my face. But I would do [a prequel] if I could; I think as an actor, it’s just a matter of how I look.
The funniest moment of the press conference was when some guy from Denmark asked if Willis could say Yippee-ki-yay, Denmark. And surprisingly the actor said sure and switched on the audio in second life and blasted it out.
“Uh, yeah,” responded Willis, his real-life voice projecting through the Second Life audio. “Yippee-ki-yay, Denmark, and everybody else out there. And I don’t know if you’re allowed to say this, but Yippee-ki-yay, motherfuckers!”
