Die Hard 64. It's a videogame, not a movie sequel

Popular movie franchise rumoured to be headed for the N64

You don't have a successful movie franchise until you have a flood of videogames to go with it. With that said, the Die Hard trilogy of movies may be joining juggernaut movie franchises like Star Wars and James Bond in the hallowed ground of 'big time' with the rumour that Fox Interactive are working on Die Hard 64. In unleashing your cash-making movie machine into the world of videogames, you can't make the mistake of skipping a console like the N64 and it seems that the folks behind the movie have realised this fact.

While the rumour is still brewing, several sources, both stateside and overseas are reporting that a Die Hard project is in the works at Fox Interactive and that the game is scheduled for an early 2000 release. There are no details as to what kind of game Die Hard 64 would be. An action adventure game featuring Bruce Willis' character shooting and fighting his way through a city full of bad guys was a popular arcade game. The PlayStation already has one game based on the Die Hard Trilogy with another one on the way.
