Yippee-ki-yay, senior citizens!

After fighting off terrorists for the past twenty-five years, John McClane (Bruce Willis) is once again doing what he does best…um, fighting off terrorists. But this time, he’s in Russia! You wouldn’t know it from this teaser trailer, but A Good Day to Die Hard (AKA Die Hard 5) marks the first time “the 007 of Plainfield, New Jersey” has left American soil to save the world. McClane’s there to help save his estranged son Jack (Jai Courtney) from…you guessed it: terrorists!

Yahoo! Movies debuted the teaser trailer. Check it out.

The surprising thing about this teaser is, the movie actually looks pretty good. After the silliness of Live Free or Die Hard, this preview indicates a full-bore return to all-American, blowin’ stuff up real good-style action.

Featuring a remixed version of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy,” which featured prominently in the original Die Hard, it’s nice to see this newest installment paying homage to the movie that started it all. It’s always a good sign seeing Bruce Willis cracking jokes and running across a room full of shattered glass with a semi-automatic assault rifle strapped across his chest.

A Good Day to Die Hard hits theaters February 14th, 2013. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
