Some franchises add numbers to their sequel titles. Think Spider-Man 2 or Iron Man 3 or Final Destination 5. Other franchises opt for more eccentric, colonized sequel-subtitles, like Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End or Thor: The Dark World or the inadvertently flipped The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Sometimes franchises get particularly fanciful with how they incorporate the original film’s title: Die Hard beget Die Hard With a Vengeance, Live Free or Die Hard, and A Good Day to Die Hard, titles which are uniformly better than their movies. But if a franchise is especially cool, they »

You might be under the impression that Hollywood only releases romances and dramas on Valentine's Day, hoping to lure in couples celebrating their annual moment of gross Pda. You would be wrong. In recent years, movies like "The Wolfman," "Safe House" and "Live Free Or Die Hard" hit theaters on or around V-Day, and 2014 will be no different. Granted, remakes "Endless Love" and "About Last Night" will be aiming for the heartsick, but Ya adaptations "The Maze Runner" and "Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters" will also be in the mix and joining them is a movie co-written and produced by none other than Luc Besson. The McG directed, Kevin Costner starring "Three Days To Kill" has put a bullet on February 14, 2014 and we have a first look at the movie, thanks to a Cannes EuropaCorp catalog they brought to the market. Co-starring Hailee Steinfeld, Amber Heard and Connie Nielsen, it's another »

Amazon's latest Blu-ray deal is a sale on the Die Hard: 25th Anniversary Collection for only $24.99 right here. The set includes Blu-ray editions of Die Hard, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Die Hard with a Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard along with a fifth bonus disc "Decoding Die Hard". I'm sure there will be a five film collection some time down the road, but let's be honest, do any of you actually want to own A Good Day to Die Hard? That film was available on my flights overseas recently and I didn't see a single person watching it, and trust me, I was looking. So, you can buy the four-film collection on Blu-ray right here for $24.99 and if you're a DVD person you're going to have to pay the same price, but the DVD collection is at 50% off and you can pick it up right here. »

Fox has one of its better slates coming your way with the new season, especially if you take the midseason shows into account. Some of these shows may not jump out at you now as must-see, but some of them are going to take over, if I’m any judge anyway.
Clear showcase offerings Dads, Almost Human, and Us & Them are guaranteed to take off early. Almost Human has J.J. Abrams recognition to pull people in, though it looks to be a show that could flounder after a few episodes, even if I hope it doesn’t. The other two are going to become hits. Unfortunately, we have to wait until mid-season for the Gavin & Stacey remake.
Rake also looks like a winner, as long as the translation can be made to work as an Americanized product, and the show actually delivers what made the Australian original so brilliant.

In this day and age of television, it’s really hard to think that you can seriously put together a recipe for success, especially looking back just a few years on all the times you might have thought you’d managed it, but TNT may be about as close as you can get with Legends.
The show is set to hit in 2014, and TNT has ordered 10 episodes. If you were forced to make a prediction, I don’t see how you’d bet against this one. At least, if you’re looking at the show being good. Being popular is another thing altogether.
With Sean Bean starring, and based on a Robert Littell’s work, you’re already solid out of the gates. Throw in a pretty solid line-up behind the scenes, and an interesting supporting cast (see full details below), and this one should be a hit. I’m »

The Flickering Myth writing staff look at the news of a possible sixth Die Hard movie....
In 1988, Bruce Willis starred in a movie that made him a bonafide blockbuster action star. The fearless cop John McClane took down a group of terrorists and the evil Hans Gruber by himself in John McTiernan's Die Hard - one of the best action movies ever made.
The film spawned a sequel, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, a couple of years later and then another sequel in 1995 entitled Die Hard with a Vengeance. As an interesting side note, Die Hard with a Vengeance was originally its own movie called Simon Says and John McClane was added at a later date to make it the third movie.
The trilogy was labelled a success and has become a firm favourite among action fans. In 2007, the news of a fourth movie, Live Free or Die Hard (a. »

In the first Die Hard, Bruce Willis' John McClane New York cop character was a fish out of water while visiting his wife in Los Angeles. That formula was repeated in A Good Day to Die Hard, and could play a role in Die Hard 6 if the film in its current iteration comes to pass.
Total Film is reporting that British writer Ben Trebilcook (Knockout, unused treatment of Live Free or Die Hard called Die Hardest) is currently penning a treatment for Die Hard 6 that will begin in New York City before shifting much of the film's time to Tokyo, Japan. Trebilcook likens his in-progress treatment of the film to "be the Rocky Balboa of the Die Hard franchise," which could mean it's the final curtain call for John McClane. Ironically this new treatment is also called Die Hardest.
It's important to note that at this stage, there is »

With the box-office success of A Good Day To Die Hard proving that there is no limit to the audience’s excitement for seeing Bruce Willis earn a paycheck, talk is rumored to have begun on yet another sequel—a movie that, fittingly, is a rehashed version of an old idea and would have been deemed ridiculous two sequels ago. Total Film spoke with screenwriter Ben Trebilcook, who says that his spec treatment Die Hardest—which was rejected in favor of what eventually became Live Free Or Die Hard—might be back in play as a potential Die Hard 6 »

Looks like John McClane is packing his bags again. Hopefully he didn’t unpack everything from his recent adventures in Moscow, where he blew up half the country trying to save estranged son Jack. So what’s up next for the man who keeps getting stuck at the wrong place at the right time? He’s turning Japanese, apparently. That’s according to Total Film, who says they’ve been alerted by British writer Ben Trebilcook that he has been tapped to write a treatment for the sixth entry, which, they say, will also be called “Die Hardest”. Which is pretty damn silly, but I guess it’s no sillier than “Live Free or Die Hard” or “A Good Day to Die Hard”. Whereas McClane had to take on Russian thugs in “A Good Day to Die Hard”, it appears McClane will be going up against Japanese bad guys when »

If you were looking for a sign as to where Hollywood has decided the future of movies exists (or if you have been walking around with blinders on for the last 15 years), Total Film is reporting Ben Trebilcook's treatment for Die Hard 4 is bring brought back to life as a potential Die Hard 6. Trebilcook's spec was discarded for a different take, which ultimately became Live Free or Die Hard and now his tentatively titled Die Hardest has gained support from A Good Day To Die Hard. consulting producer, Larry D. Webster, but is far from a sure thing. Total Film reports the story begins in New York, before moving to Tokyo, which will be the predominant location, and Trebilcook tells the site, "It is extremely faithful to the franchise and characters and is a natural progression. It's also a very plausible storyline." He also adds, "Getting Larry's support was great, »

Justin Long is in New York this week for the Tribeca Film Festival to promote his new romantic comedy, "A Case Of You," which Long co-wrote with his brother Christian and actor Keir O'Donnell. When we met in the basement of a New York City Hilton to discuss the new film however, our conversation started with some small talk -- which is often awkward. In this case, instead of saying something like "I like your shirt," I brought up my former Movieline colleague, film critic-turned-author Michelle Orange.
Back in September of 2010, Orange wrote a negative review of Long's comedy "Going the Distance," which Long then recited during a taping of "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." The conflict went viral, but was settled in November of that year after Orange explained her review in a post for The Rumpus. Still, it's clear all that back-and-forth made an impact on Long; my »
