Is a Die Hard prequel in the works?

The movie gossip mill has gone into overdrive this week – it must’ve been all that champagne loosing the lips of the bigwigs at Cannes… After the suggestion that Alien might be getting a remake, today’s rumour points at Die Hard…
Comic book publishers Boom! Studios have announced that they’re releasing the publication Die Hard: Year One this summer, which will follow the story of a younger John McClane who’s working as a rookie cop in New York during the 1976 Biccentenial celebrations.

A similar reboot certainly worked for Batman – the Year One prequel did wonders for the franchise. Whatever the case might be with a Die Hard adaptation, one thing for sure is that 55-year-old Bruce Willis certainly won’t be donning his white vest this time.
