Write harder with a vengeance!

Hollywood screenwriter Mark Bomback has been hired to write the script for DIE HARD 4, whatever that will be. Bomback's job was announced today in The Hollywood Reporter but absolutely zero information was given as to the premise of the new HARD. The good news is that Bruce Willis seems to be interested in playing Detective John McClane again; Willis' production company Cheyenne Enterprises is producing DH4.

A few years back (after the release of 1998's ARMAGEDDON) the rumor du jour was that a premise for a new DIE HARD, set in a jungle environment, was floating around and that Bruce wanted his ARMAGEDDON co-star Ben Affleck to star in the film with him. Of course, those plans never came to pass (that is, unless you're from some parallel Earth. If that's you, let us know if it sucked or not.)

Bomback is credited with a rewrite of the CONSTANTINE script as well as full credit on the upcoming Lions Gate supernatural thriller GODSEND.
