A third sequel to the popular ‘Die Hard’ series is on the way for a fall shooting, and it will star Bruce Willis. Currently in rewrites it is believed the film will be along the lines of 1983’s ‘WarGames’.

It challenges him to a game between America and Russia, and he innocently starts the countdown to World War 3.”
