The DIE HARD franchise has never gone in for plain-Jane sequel titles like “Die Hard 3” or “Die Hard 4”, opting instead for the much more badass DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE and LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD, titles that call to mind nothing but explosions and one-liners. But for the upcoming sixth installment they’re going for something much cleaner, and the movie with the once reported title of DIE HARD: YEAR ONE is now simply being called MCCLANE.

　　《虎胆龙威》拍过平淡无奇的续集《虎胆龙威3》和《虎胆龙威4》，选用的片名除了让人想起爆炸镜头和文艺噱头，别无新意。但是，对于即将上映的第6部续集来说，制片方想要的是一种更纯粹的电影，近日正式确定《虎胆龙威6》片名为《虎胆龙威：麦克莱恩》，而不是之前谣传的《虎胆龙威：第一年》。

　　Empire got the scoop the movie will have the short-and-sweet title, with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura telling them the point is let audiences know this movie will be all about exploring John McClane like none of the movies have before.

　　《虎胆龙威6》制片人洛伦佐.迪.博纳文图拉接受《帝国》杂志采访时再次确认影片在筹备中,影片将完全聚焦布鲁斯.威利斯饰演的约翰.麦克莱恩，这是以往任何一部电影都没有过的。

　　The character has been played by Bruce Willis in the past five DIE HARD movies, and he will return for this sixth outing. However, he will be sharing the screen with a younger version of the character, as the movie will go back and forth between the present and the ‘70s when McClane was a rookie cop. Di Bonaventura says though that’s indeed the structure we will be seeing just as much of Willis’ McClane as we do the younger version.

　　布鲁斯.威利斯在过去的5部《虎胆龙威》中都扮演过这个角色，他将会在第六部中回归。然而，他将和另一名年轻演员一起演绎这个银幕角色，因为这部电影将在现代和70年代之间来回切换，当时麦克莱恩还是个刚入职的警察。迪.博纳文图拉说，你们可以通过剧本扉页上写着的麦克莱恩看出我们的意图，我们既要挖掘约翰·麦克莱恩20多岁时的状态，也要关注60多岁的他。

　　One month ago Len Wiseman gave an update on the production of the movie saying things would get started "fairly soon," and that they were simply waiting on the script to be as good as it could be. Said script must be at that stage, as the report says it was handed in back in July, and that the movie should begin production within in the next few months with Wiseman (LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD) directing. We still have more casting details to learn, such as who will play the young McClane, but should they be ready to start production soon that means we will hear of the casting before then.

　　一个月前，伦.怀斯曼对这部电影的制作进行了更新，他说拍摄会“很快”开始，他们只是在等待剧本进一步修改。该报道称，这部电影的剧本已经于7月份提交，电影将在未来几个月内由怀斯曼执导。目前还需要了解更多的选角细节，比如谁会扮演年轻的麦克莱恩，在拍摄之前，尚未听到选角的消息。

　　Taking a page from the book of last year’s LOGAN, it seems they could be going for more of an action-drama angle that recent efforts, hoping to make a movie that digs deep into who John McClane is as opposed to having him thwarting more terrorists and hanging off the wings of jets. The shorter title certainly conveys a more grounded, introspective movie, and considering this could very well be Willis’ last outing as the iconic character it would make sense to go out on a more personal note. I’m down for that, and maybe that means we will get a bearded, grumpier McClane who swears a lot, which would be amazing.

　　从去年的《金刚狼3：殊死一战》来看，他们可能需要更多的动作角色，把这部电影演绎成一个深入讲述了约翰·迈克莱恩是谁而不是他悬挂在机翼挫败了恐怖分子的故事。考虑到这很可能是威利斯最后一次作为主角出场，这个较短的片名无疑传达了一部更接地气、更内省的电影。我们很期望看到一个满脸胡须、性情直爽的麦克莱恩，他总是骂骂咧咧的，这太不可思议了!
