Rumor Fox Taking Die Hard 6 Pitches Wants Samuel L Jackson To Return

By Russ Fischer/April 15, 2014 5:00 am EST

Let’s not mince words: the third Die Hard movie was the last indisputably good entry in the series, even though its third act falters significantly after a kick-ass opening and set-up of the core characters and plot machinery. Samuel L. Jackson turned out to be the perfect foil for Willis/McClane, and the film (based on a script that was refitted into a Die Hard story) had a great energy. It also acts as a great early ’90s NYC time capsule.

So this statement is appealing:

TWITTER SCOOP: FOX is meeting writers for takes on next DIE HARD. It has to involve John McClane AND Samuel Jackson’s Zeus Carver character!
