Die Hard 6 - Bruce Willis' Action Series To Return With Origin Story

Die Hard 6 is officially in the works, with Live Free or Die Hard director, Len Wiseman returning to take Bruce Willis' John McClane on another action-packed adventure, Deadline reports.
The difference between this and other movies in the series is, instead of progressing, this is going back in time, as a prequel.
The first Die Hard film centered on Willis’ McClane, a tough New York cop who foils a terrorist plot in a corporate building at Christmastime.
Since then, McClane’s endeavors have escalated to impossible acts of heroism to straight-up heroes.
Director Len Wiseman and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura are searching for a screenwriter to develop a prequel story that will center on McClane in 1979 New York before the events of the first film.
The movie would feature a younger, grittier version of the action hero, and ideally tell the story of how McClane went from a street cop to the badass protagonist in the 1988 film.
But where does this leave Bruce Willis? The report suggests that the plan is for Die Hard 6 to have bookends featuring the older McClane — whether those segments would involve McClane facing a new mission or simply recalling his history remains unclear, but it seems unlikely that Willis would sign on to reprise the role if it left him so little to do.
