The last halfway decent Die Hard movie was Die Hard with a Vengeance, which turned out to be more of a buddy film between Bruce Willis' John McClane and Samuel L. Jackson's Zeus Carver. From there the franchise got too big, got too dumb, and lost what made McClane cool in the first place. And maybe, since Willis has already confirmed a sixth movie is on the way, they're hoping to reclaim the old magic by bringing Jackson back in.
A rumor has surfaced over at Latino Review (got salt handy?) that claims 20th Century Fox wants prospective writers to figure out how to bring Carver back into the story....
TWITTER SCOOP: FOX is meeting writers for takes on next DIE HARD. It has to involve John McClane AND Samuel Jackson's Zeus Carver character!
This would seem to imply Jackson has some interest in returning, and that his schedule would even allow for it. Then again, how often does Jackson turn down anything? We'll see what happens but my money is not on this happening.
