9 Abandoned Sequel Plots That Sound Better Than The Movies We Got

A Good To Die Hard was a shockingly poor entry in the series, which saw Bruce Willis shuffle lifelessly through a non-existent plot. Whatever passion the actor once had for the series had clearly disappeared, and the noisy action spectacle around him did little to disguise this.

Before A Good Day To Die Hard came about to destroy whatever goodwill the franchise had left, the concept of partnering John McClane with 24’s Jack Bauer was briefly considered. The show had just come to an end around this time, and since Fox was hoping to launch 24 as a movie and revitalise the Die Hard brand, some well-paid executive had the brainwave to partner them up.

Now, this either could have been the best thing ever or a complete disaster, but the mind boggles at the idea of seeing these two manly dudes trying to work together. At the very least it’s hard to imagine Willis looking so sleepy if Kiefer Sutherland is constantly yelling at him.

The idea was nixed by Sutherland himself, who wanted the 24 movie to be a solo affair.
