\nI’m not one to usually report rumors from anonymous sources, but this one is too good not to discuss.\u00a0 Robert Curran at CBR.com wrote an article about a proposed Jack Bauer\/John McClane team-up for a feature film that would have been titled Die Hard 24\/7<\/em>.\u00a0 While the source of this tidbit was indeed anonymous, the story was intriguing enough to initially get space at Ain’t It Cool News<\/a> and then at CBR.com<\/a>… and here.<\/p>\n

Curran has doubts about the accuracy of the anonymous source because…<\/p>\n

If work went into the potential film, it hasn’t leaked to the Internet. After more than a decade, it stands to reason that someone involved in the project would have revealed more details about the movie if they existed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yet, Curran also points out that in A Good Day to Die Hard<\/em>, McClane’s grown son was a CIA agent named\u00a0 John “Jack” McClane Jr..\u00a0 Calling John’s son Jack could have been a nod to the proposed team-up with Jack Bauer.\u00a0 So perhaps there is something there.<\/p>\n

Curran concludes and I agree that…<\/p>\n

…Unfortunately, a McClane\/Bauer team-up is likely to remain in the realm of fan fiction…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before you click over to read Robert Curran’s Die Hard’s John McClane ALMOST Crossed Over With 24’s Jack Bauer<\/a> let me end by saying that I agree that the McClane\/Bauer crossover is unlikely… but, man, it sure would be cool!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
