Cancelled film adaptation

In September 2017, Len Wiseman stated that he was casting for a young version of John McClane for an origin film called John McClane, adapting the events of Die Hard: Year One.[6]

In March 2018, writing duo Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes were enlisted by 20th Century Fox to re-write the screenplay after Bruce Willis refused to endorse the previous edition and its actor.[7][8] In July, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura submitted an updated treatment titled McClane, further confirming that the storyline features elements of McClane's and Holly's characters in the 1970s, intermixed with their present-day counterparts.[9][10] The following month, Wiseman said that pre-production on the new film should start "...fairly soon, no dates" once the script has been completed.[11] Tobey Maguire joined the production team late Summer.[12] By December, di Bonaventura handed in yet another draft, this time without input from Willis.[13] Production designer Carol Uraneck, who was hired that September, later left the project by the close of the year.[14]

In February 2019, the production team made a revision to the writing, insinuating that the project, though supposedly moving forward, was on the studio's backburner, as evidenced by executives not even having read the script yet.[15] Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead said that she was interested in returning as Lucy Gennero-McClane in a future installment, but later intimated doubt that, due to scheduling,[16] if the film would ever get made.[17][18]

Die Hard was removed from the Fox imprint through at least its 2021 slate, after Disney's acquisition and senior management shake-up, which saw the dismissal of its theatrical distribution executive, Chris Aronson.[19][20][21] The production was later cancelled outright in August 2019 after further consideration by Disney.[22] In lieu of the reorganization of both companies, the media giant is said to be rebooting development of McClane for streaming as a television series.[23]

In March 2022 Bruce Willis was retiring from acting following a diagnosis of aphasia,[24] ending all production on any form of the prequel/sequel McClane with his involvement.
