As Christmas approaches, fans are buzzing with rumors of a 2024 Die Hard remake starring John Krasinski. Yippee ki-yay – or nay?
On December 24, 1988, a New York City cop (Bruce Willis) visits Los Angeles to see his family, but ends up taking on elite robbers in Nakatomi Plaza, crawling through air ducts, and fighting for his life.
Die Hard is a classic action film that has sparked a timeless debate - is it a Christmas movie? The possibility of a remake featuring The Office star in 2024 has reignited this discussion. Is it really happening?
Is a Die Hard remake with John Krasinski coming out in 2024?
No, there’s no new Die Hard movie coming out in 2024, nor is John Krasinski starring in any remake.
Excitement over non-existent sequels continues to disappoint fans, with the recent debunking of rumors about a Polar Express sequel titled The Christmas Express set to premiere on Max in December. The source of the false hopes is a satire page known as YODA BBY ABY, infamous for uploading fake press releases and other misleading content. Most recently, the page shared a poster depicting John Krasinski as John McClane, supposedly in a remake of Die Hard slated for release on December 24, 2024.

"John Krasinski takes on the legendary character of John McClane, injecting a new level of intensity and humor into the beloved role. Filled with adrenaline-pumping action and gripping suspense, this latest addition guarantees to revive the iconic John McClane legacy in a breathtaking manner."
The fact that so many people believe this to be true, despite it not being real, is disappointing, given its over 5,000 shares and numerous comments.
One user expressed hope that it was true, saying "I kinda hope this is true. I love watching him." Another user commented "He’ll be a great John McClane, can’t wait." A third user wrote "Great actor one of my favorites after 13 Hours and A Quiet Place, he deserves more leading roles." Additionally, a fourth user said "It’s my favorite Christmas movie hope the remake does the original justice!"

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I'm excited about the possibility of a Die Hard remake starring John Krasinski. I think he would be a great fit for the role of John McClane, and I'm curious to see how he would bring his own unique style to the character. I'm also a big fan of the original Die Hard movie, so I'm hoping that the remake will be able to capture the same magic as the original.
However, I'm also a bit skeptical about the remake. I'm worried that it might not be able to live up to the original, and that it might just be a cash grab. I'm also worried that the remake might change the story or characters too much, and that it might not be faithful to the original.
Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic about the Die Hard remake. I think it has the potential to be a great movie, but I'm also worried that it might not be able to live up to the original. I'm going to keep an open mind and wait to see what happens.
