Word on the street is that Ben Affleckis in final negotiations to star with Bruce Willis in the upcoming $130M blockbuster "Die Hard 4.0" according to the Shirley Oracle.
Willis, who will reprises his role as law-man John McClane in the film, reportedly has been searching for a project to work with his good friend Affleck. They first worked together in the noisy, obnoxious and stupid "Armageddon," a movie that film critic Roger Ebert said was "an assault on the eyes, the ears, the brain, common sense and the human desire to be entertained."
In DH4, Affleck would play John McClane's adult son who is also a cop, so I suspect they will also write in an obligatory love story for Ben -- something where he can cry and do silly things like tickle Liv Tyler's belly button with animal crackers.
Little else is known about the film's storyline. Willis recently told Empire magazine, "The script will be done by summer and they want to shoot it in the fall. McClane's retired, he's not a cop anymore. It's completely different from the other three films." Probably because it's got box office killer Ben Affleck in it.
