LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – John McClane's string of bad luck may not yet be over.
"Hitman" screenwriter Skip Woods is in negotiations with 20th Century Fox to take a crack at a new "Die Hard" script. The New York cop known for consistently being in the wrong place at the right time has already survived four run-ins with terrorists, traitors and psychotic loose cannons of one stripe or another.
In his last outing, "Live Free or Die Hard," written by Mark Bomback and directed by Len Wiseman in 2007, McClane battled Web terrorists to $378 million in worldwide grosses -- 20 years after pitching Hans Gruber out a broken window at Fox towers. The studio sees another installment as a strong bet.
There's no word yet on the new project's story line, but former Fox executive Alex Young ("Unstoppable") is producing.

4 Die Hards and eacxhe one just a little more ridiculous than the last one.
The one where the planes couldnt land at Dulles was so stupid it reeked. At least 5 airports in that area, not counting military ones.
Die Hard - Excellent!
Die Hard II - SUCKED
Die Hard III - Much better than II
Die Hard IV - Excellent!
Die Hard V - probably back to sucked.
Sorry, I never got into that series.
Shoot. I guess we can just kill some white guys with bigger explosions then. We can call it “Die Hard, no, we’re serious!”
This one should have a talking pie.
Welcome to the colonoscopy pal!
Back when the Somali pirates were terrorizing ships, I thought it might make a good Die Hard setting...McClane and his long suffering wife finally launch off on a vacation where there’s no chance of becoming high rise or airborne hostages—they go on a cruise....
Obamacare: Die Hardest
John McClane is taken injured to the hospital. Now that he’s finally in the last sequel, little does he know his QALY score isn’t high enough to be saved. John has to battle government bureaucrats, a psycho-euthanizng nurse (played by Hillary Clinton) shrieking “My plans have finally come true!”, a cameo by Jack Kevorkian, a host of doctors with end of life orders and blue pills.
You can call me...Roy..
Gabby: "Hey Roy, them are Indians a comin' after us ..."
Roy: "Not to worry Gabby, they're American-Indians ..."
“Die Hard, Huh?” John McClain needs a new battery for his hearing aid and walks into a Beltone Hearing Center, which has just been overrun by terrorists led by John Goodman.
>>> It’s been done (Vic Mackey at his desk job in The Shield finale).
Might be worth recalling that the Shield’s final scene showed Vic Mackey strapping on his pistol, walking away from the desk, and going back into the night to look for trouble. With or without sanction.
Right off the top of my head I'd have to say True Lies (1994).
Die Hard III was absolutely terrible, whereas Die Hard II was tremendous fun - are you sure you didn’t mix the two up?
Another SNL movie.
Some of my cousin’s were shocked I didn’t particularity care for Night at the Roxbury.
I like Wayne’s World and Coneheads.
I’m reminded of that episode of South Park where they had Lucas and Spielberg molesting Indiana Jones.
They showed it in the recent Mohammadan ep, too. And, yup, they did rape Indy in that last movie. I felt embarrassment for the entire spectacle.
Die HARD, with dignity. ;)
