Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot overview, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. We are always looking for new members! Join us today!

The notion that John McClane is fighting bad guys on holiday comes from an earlier spec script about wreck-diving by British writer David Trebilcook. The current story - by Doug Richardson - will revolve around computers and will probably take place in a city environment like the previous two. Scott197827 13/02/2006

[edit] European distributor

Just curious: anybody have an idea who will distribute this film in Europe? The last one (Die Hard: With a Vengeance) was distributed by Buena Vista in here, but now I see that this article mentions Warner Bros. Will they be the distributors this time? --Mégara (Мегъра) - D.

[edit] Cast?

Does anybody know where the cast list came from? I mean, besides Bruce Willis, the only other name announced for a cast was Justin Long.

I'm pretty sure the director mentioned that NO characters from previous movies would be appearing, which makes an appearance by Bonnie Bedelia highly unlikely.

I've seen nothing about Adrian brody being in this movie. I think a reference is needed for that fact.

Paris Hilton? No mention of it on IMDb, and I can't find any mention of it anywhere else. Removing it, for the time being. (USMA2010 22:46, 8 October 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Suggestions for improvement

• Insert clean Infobox Film template
• Rewrite lead paragraph to basic information -- movie title, year, director, star, release date; place the rest in the body
• Create Production section with Development, Screenplay, Casting, and Filming subsections
• Use Cite news template for references
  • Ex: <ref>{{cite news | author=Stax | url=http://movies.ign.com/articles/710/710666p1.html | title=New ''Die Hard'' Helmer | publisher=[[IGN]] | date=[[2006-05-31]] | accessdate=2006-10-25 }}</ref>
• Create cast list and put citation next to actor's name (so it looks like "Maggie Q^[9]")
• Merge title information into Production section, maybe Title subsection if it's that relevant

I'd get my hands dirty doing this, but I have other priorities at the moment. --Erik (^talk/_contrib) @ 23:05, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
