Bruce Willis is in negotiations to star in Stephen Frears' "Lay the Favorite, Take the Dog," an adaptation of a book by Beth Raymer chronicling her rise as one of the top bookies in sports.

Vulture reports that Fox wasn't a fan of the script for "Die Hard 5" delivered by Skip Woods, so they're starting over from the beginning. Meanwhile, Willis is doing his part to get things moving, reportedly speaking with a number of directors. His top pick is apparently Swedish filmmaker Jorge Daniel Espinosa, who is currently working with Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington on his U.S. debut, "Safe House."
But who else could -- or should -- Willis be speaking with? Our wish list is after the jump.

-- In the pantheon of classic action movies, there is "Aliens" and there is "Die Hard." They're not the only ones of course, and I'm not entirely sure why those two live together -- maybe because both deal with trapped protagonists? -- but which one is better? It's the sort of question that movie nerds like me can debate into the wee hours of the morning. And that's exactly what George "El Guapo" Roush does in this feature for Latino Review. (
