Somewhere between a teaser and a full trailer. Let's call it a traiser.

I guess they're actually calling this thing A Good Day to Die Hard, which is unfortunate. It's also unfortunate that they chose the director of Behind Enemy Lines and Max Payne, and the screenwriter of Swordfish, Hitman, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and The A-Team, but I think this is looking better than any of those films. Anyway, it's out February 14 of next year.

Willis is really beginning to show his age now, but I think he'll pull it off well.

Yikes. This latest trailer blows away the previous ones, I think. I'm starting to feel bad about doubting the choice of director and writer.

I can hear the complaints already from my fellow Die Hard fans: it looks too over the top and McClane is too much of a superhero instead of the ordinary guy he was in the first movie. But really, the guy's been a superhero since Die Hard 2. There's no going back to Part 1. And if the only Die Hard we're gonna get is over the top, superhero Die Hard, I think this looks like a damn good version of that. Can't wait for next month.

Wow. Yeah, good trailer. The last Die Hard did seem a departure from the first 3, but it still was a good movie, IMO. And, I think it's better to try a new angle ("John McClain and son bond while gunning down nuclear terrorists") than do a stale sequel that just rehashes previously-done stuff (like the last Resident Evil movie I just saw on TV).

Looks like this one won't go into theatres with a PG-13, like last time:
