No, no, no, NO! If Die Hard 4.0 is to have any chance then it must, must, must not have Ben-I’m-an-awful-actor-Affleck, and believe me I want it to work, that’s why I’m saying this. Don’t do it!
Movieweb bring the story from the Shirley Oracle:
“Word is Affleck is in final talks to join Bruce Willis in the $130M blockbuster Die Hard 4. Willis, who reprises his role as singlette- adorned law-man John McClane in the film, has been beseeching for a project to work with now good friend Affleck, whom he co-starred with in 1998’s Armageddon with, for several years – initially suggesting him for Tears of the Sun.
When Affleck was unable to do that movie they idea of them working together again was put on hold, until Willis was asked for some ideas on who he thought should play his son in Die Hard 4.
Looks like Affleck would be playing the role of Willis’ son. I don’t know about you but thinking about this I just can’t imagine the two of them onscreen and it being anything less than a joke. What do you guys think, if not Affleck then who?
