Bruce Willis Will Star in the Fourth "Die Hard" Movie

According to an entertainment magazine, the actor Bruce Willis will appear in a fourth Die Hard movie, which will be in cinemas next year. In the new movie, which will be called "Live Free or Die Hard" Willis will play a hard-nosed police detective John McClane. The entertainment magazine reported that the movie will be released in the US on 29 June 2007, making it a key film for next year`s lucrative Independence Day weekend.

The first Die Hard film established Willis as a known entertainment star in 1988. Live Free or Die Hard marks a return for the series after an 11-year break. The movie is about an attack on the US computer network, which threatens to bring the country to a standstill. Len Wiseman, best known for the Underworld films, which star his wife, Kate Beckinsale, will direct the new film.

Willis, 51, first found fame with his starring role in the hit TV entertainment series Moonlighting (1985?89) establishing himself as a comedic actor. However, truly famous he became after the "Die Hard" movie series. Willis`s recent films include comic-book adaptation Sin City and animated comedy Over the Hedge. Last year, the actor received the Order of Arts and Letters, one of France`s highest cultural honors, for his film work.
