Die Hard 4 Trailer Online Now!
Filed under: Action, Fandom, Trailer Trash, DIY/Filmmaking, Movie Marketing, Remakes and Sequels
Well, it's been a long time since Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) wound up in the wrong place at the wrong time, and now he's back with Live Free or Die Hard -- the fourth (and final?) installment in the Die Hard franchise. The first official trailer for the film is set to play in theaters this weekend, but apparently Yahoo! accidentally leaked it online a day early. However, it was quickly pulled and only a handful of people got the chance to see it.
Oh, but we don't give up that easily. C'mon. Once you leak something, there's no going back, folks. Thus, Coming Soon was quick enough to grab the trailer and host it on their site -- go check it out right now (you need to scroll down and click on teaser). I must say, the film looks pretty good -- it appears as if they took every action-packed scene in all three previous Die Hard films, added a slew of special effects and mashed them together in a blender. Once again, McClane is fighting helicopters, driving backwards in his car, blowing up buildings and partnering with a sidekick who doesn't understand why the dude is so calm, yet so insane at the same time. I dig it. Vintage McClane in the modern-day world. But do the absurd amount of special effects take away from that old school Die Hard feeling? You be the judge; definitely let us know what you think. Live Free or Die Hard is set to be released on June 29.

I think that's honestly the worst trailer I've ever seen. CGI cars flying through the air? That's Die Hard? Another franchise, ruined.

Good, action-packed teaser... if you love vintage Bruckheimer.
I'm loving Bruce Willis' revival of John McClane, but until I hear more dialogue and am actually presented with a story, I'm going to stay very dubious.

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic - the action all looks great and I'm not worried about the CGI cars flying around, at least not yet. They've got a few months to tweak and fix that stuff so let's not freak out about it.
The end of the teaser says "July 4th, 2007", though - are they releasing it opposite Transformers now?
BTW, I don't see the teaser on Coming Soon, but it's on Movie-List here http://www.movie-list.net/exclusive/live-free-or-die-hard.mov

What's with the noticably sped up footage to make it look faster? it's like on a bunch of the shot's it's playing at 100% and then it's bumped up to 115%... looks dumb

CGI semis?
A young, somewhat annoying actor people hope is hip with an old, potentially past-his-prime action star chased by a thin girl in a tight suit?
Is this Die Hard or Terminator 3?
Thank you, teaser. I'll always be a Bruce Willis fan, always be a Die Hard fan, but I'll be skipping this one.

*sigh* Why didn't they just bring back John McTiernan?? Len Weismen made this look way too polished (in a bad way)...Die Hard was always a step above the cheap-trill slo-mo and flying cars
