A PG-13 Die Hard Movie...
The...@gmail.com
It's amazing how much the internet has opened up the channels of
communication between celebrities and their fans.
Today, over at Aint it Cool News, Bruce Willis started talking to posters in
a talkback - under the story about "Die Hard 4" getting a PG-13 rating -
about his new film and some of the brouhaha that's surrounding it.
"I am pleased to see [writer] Vern, and everyone who responded to Vern's
rant exhibit such emotion over DH4. But as someone who worked on the
picture, and has seen a cut of it, I would suggest that all the yakkin' over
the PG-13 issue hang onto their weapons for now. This episode if Die Hard is
as good, if not better than the first Movie. And I was there for that one
too. In a Summer filled with CG/fantasy driven films, Live Free or Die Hard
is an in-your-face, hard-ass Action movie that will satisfy Vern, and anyone
else who is a fan of the Die Hard series. All PG-13 means is that you cannot
say f*ck more than twice. Other than that, the Mythology of Die Hard
lives....I could not have been more pleased with how DH4 turned out. It'll
be out soon enough, and I wanna hear what Vern has to say after he sees
LForDie Hard.... Set your pre-judgement aside for another 7 weeks and then
decide."
Willis adds, "Since they have existed, I always said the first Die Hard was
the only good one. I will go on record here as saying that Live Free or Die
Hard is better than the first one. Take it from a guy who was there for all
of them. John MaFuckin'Clane".
Willis says director Len Wiseman will be ". remembered as the guy who not
only brought Die Hard into the 21st Century, but brought it back to Life.
There is obviously no way to tell until DH4 comes out, but when it does,
compare it to DH3, and you will see what I mean. Len Wiseman believes in the
Mythology of Die Hard, and lived up to it. Almost every stunt was Old
School, and not CGI, and it gives the movie a reality that cannot be found
on any Blue Screen."
Amusingly, Willis says someone like Michael Bay, who directed him in
"Armageddon", would have ruined "Die Hard 4" if he was asked to direct.
"[Bay] would have ruined DH4. Few people will work with him now, and I know
I will never work with him again".
Having said that, "It was a great crew, but a screaming Director does not
make for a pleasant set experience. But look, we were all big boys, and we
got thru it. A little to MTV-camera cutty for my taste, but the shots of
meteors crashing into the WTC was pretty prescient. Billy Bob was under-used
for my taste. the spacesuits continually malfunctioned, and one nite, Ben
Affleck was seen bashing the front glass on his helmet with a rock because
he couldn't breathe. I am a fan and a friend of Liv Tyler, and thought she
brought some fun to the movie. And it made a shitload of money for Disney.
Jerry Bruckheimer is a great producer, and I would work with him again
anytime."
As for what Willis thinks of his most recent film "Perfect Stranger"?
"Perfect Stranger was ruined by the producers. Oddly enough, that film was
meant to be a hard R rating, but when all the things that were meant to be
in it were cut, EXCEPT for the Fuck's, they got a PG-13 rating. Weird right?
I was disappointed with that film, and I agree with you opinion of it.
Everyone tried hard, worked hard, but it was not to be.".
Good stuff!

Obviously Seth Bullock from Deadwood won't be saying "cunt" every
other sentence then?
