Well, it's a prequel, so it kind of is ignoring all of the previous films. How does a prequel work with Willis looking 30 years older than he did in the first?

They're going to have a 20-something actor as a rookie McClane running around on New Year's Eve 1980. It will cut back and forth to 2020 or whatever with the Willis version.

Wiseman said that the 1979-stuff will directly impact whatever is happening in the present day, whatever that means. Maybe McClane investigation a cold case from that era?

That actually sounds interesting. And there is no way they can ignore all the sequels. McClane as a character is loaded with puns and "oh not this again" attitude which are directly linked to the sequels.

There’s definitely potential with the approach as long as they nail the casting and the central mystery is intriguing. I guess the big change-up here is that it’s going to be a fairly low wattage adventure (at least in the 79 portion) although I’m sure they’ll sneak in an explosion or two somehow.

I'm actually looking forward to a low-key cop thriller rather than some big terrorist thing again. They should Logan-ize all franchises from now on.

I'll only see this if JGL is the "young" version of McClane.

I can't think of anyone who would be good. Gotta be early-mid 20's at oldest.

It will be Alden Ehrenreich. He is the new Jai Courtney.
