The Future of Die Hard: What’s Next for the Franchise?

Die Hard have reason to hope for more from the iconic action franchise. While Bruce Willis, the legendary face of John McClane, has retired, the head of 20th Century Studios has hinted that the series’ future isn’t entirely off the table. Could we see a reboot? A prequel? A spin-off? While nothing is confirmed, the studio’s comments suggest that they are considering ways to keep McClane's legacy alive, offering fans something exciting down the line.


The Debate: Is Die Hard a Christmas Movie?

Every holiday season, the age-old debate resurfaces: is Die Hard a Christmas movie? The answer is simple—it absolutely is! The movie unfolds during a Christmas Eve party, features holiday music (Let It Snow! and Ode to Joy), and even wraps its action-packed narrative with themes of love and reconciliation. For many, it’s as much a holiday tradition as decorating the tree or watching Home Alone. So grab some eggnog and enjoy John McClane saving Christmas—again.


How to Catch Die Hard This Holiday Season

This year, fans have the chance to experience Die Hard in select theaters as part of its holiday rerelease. Cinemas around the U.S. and other countries are embracing the film's Christmas cult status and offering screenings during December. Check your local listings or sites like Fandango for availability.

If heading to the movies isn’t in the cards, why not experience Die Hard the way it was first intended—on VHS? Watching it at home on its original format delivers an authentic, retro vibe that takes you straight back to the late ‘80s.
