Hell why not just have all the minor characters from all movies come back in some cameo scene or something.
- black kid limo driver Argyle
- Dennis Franz's character
- McClane's NYPD sergeant and his fellow officers
- Kevin Smith
John & Jack get invited to the White House to get medals for their actions in Die Hard 5. Everybody that has ever helped John in previous movies show up as does Holly & Lucy. Another Gruber relative attacks the White House to get revenge on John & this time John & Jack get help from not just Zeus but also Casey Ryback who is now the White House chef
Haha, this sounds like my idea but it was a medal for Die Hard 4.
And I wanted to use a screenplay that wasn't originally planned to be a Die Hard movie because apparently thats how quite a few die hards happened
It does not have to be at the White House. Maybe the President finds out about all of the things John has done on his own with various terrorist. That he just makes a John McClane day
Well there was this Blacklist screenplay about the President's motorcade getting attacked (naturally called Motorcade). Have the President going to an award ceremony for McClane and ask for McClane to ride with him so they can talk, cast a cool older actor as the President, and off to the races
After seeing the wonderful PoS that was DH5, they need to hire Wiseau to do the next one. Seriously, you can't go anywhere else but down.
Hey, make it a dedication of a wing of Nakatomi Plaza to John McClane and I'll be on board, lol. Seriously, the guy deserves a little recognition from the world at this point (he literally saved the country in DH4), and I can't see anything smaller than something in his honor that his family forces him to attend being big enough to get him back in that building. That would also be publicized enough to draw out your Gruber descendant for their revenge plot. But ditch Justin Long and just let it be Jack and Lucy. Jack's too high-level a pro (from what I hear, still haven't seen it) to be much of an underdog and Lucy makes for a much less annoying "average joe" than Long. Not that Long particularly bothered me in DH4, but one whole movie of him was enough. Jack could be the one who gets into the hand-to-hand fights with the baddies, and Lucy can otherwise represent the "original John," just barely surviving by the skin of her teeth using her wits (and probably some degree of gunfire. You know John would consider a shooting range "daddy-daughter bonding time." My Army dad certainly did, lol). That would give us a chance to get to know Jack and Lucy as characters outside of their dynamics with their dad, like we got to see with Holly in her scenes with the other side characters in the 1st two movies.How about this, have it come full circle for the next sequel:
It's the anniversary of the infamous Nakatomi Plaza's terrorist attack and a celebration is taking place with current and former employees, by this time John and Holly McClane are happily back together but then suddenly BAM! it's deja vu all over again when a descendant of the Gruber family is once again hell bent on not just ransacking the plaza but wanting vengeance from John, I mean how can the same thing happen to the same man twice right?
Except this time John gets seriously injured and out of commision (no superhuman feats this time) and so it's up to Jack McClane alongside Justin Long to rescue everyone.
Haha, this sounds like my idea but it was a medal for Die Hard 4.

Have it be set in an inclosed area again like DH1 and DH2. A cruise ship would be nice. And bring back "Carl Winslow", Samuel L Jackson, Justin Long.
I read that script and it would be a great fit for Die Hard 6, good thinking. Cast Harrison Ford as The Preside4nt?

A cruise ship was my idea too...
McClane takes a Christmas cruise and mid way through, he wakes up hung over one morning to find that some bad mofo (go back to a british villain.. Gary Oldman, James Purefoy) has taken over the ship. Cue lots of sneaking around rooms and the bowels of the ships and lots of gun fights... Throw in a sub plot about a naval gunship that comes to the rescue but the captain is in on it and they use the gun ship to escape.. Oh and William Artherton's character should be on the cruise and Holly should be waiting for John when the cruise finishes.
But I do like the ideas about the Nakatomi anniversary and the presidents motorcade coming under attack..
And god help the director who has to deal with those 2 grumps
Having him get mixed up with terrorists for a 4th time was stretching believeability almost too far, now a 5th and 6th time?
C'mon...
