That's a high quality avatar right there.

I am a big Hollywood producer, and my focus groups show the time is clearly right for Die Hard spinoff starring Ellis.

Pitch me your Ellis movie or TV show. Or give me things you love or hate about Ellis and I can build something off it.


I personally love Ellis and think its funny that he was probably plowing John Mcclane's wife in a big bed covered in money and cocaine while they were separated. I guess that could be some sort of movie. Not really enough for feature length just yet, but it's a jumping off point. We're just spitballing here.

Like, I've seen Bruce Willis in a movie (Sin City) and Alan Rickman in a movie (Dogma) so like, could we combine those movies and turn that into a spinoff of die hard? If I'm wasting your time I'm sorry.

If you use the plot from both the show and movie as canon it all makes sense.

Probably why Carl never talks about work



Here he is looking pretty up-beat for having just shot a kid earlier in the day

Ellis travels to Encino, California and comes across a frozen caveman in his McMansion backyard. The caveman wheezes lots of juice.

Carl Winslow's character arc in Die Hard was really great and they never managed to recapture that in any on the subsequent films.

Hey op. Great idea and I think the character is perfect for exploration. How about Ellis and Holly do their Christmas vacation the year before with a roaring fire, mulled wine and brie cheese except...get this...it's at the overlook hotel. One of the many holdings of the tamagotchi or whatever corporation.

Or... Ellis and Argyle in a kind of Hangover-esque mashup romp through LA? With Theo as a reoccurring character and his catchphrase "and the quarterback is toast!" (hand clap) is used throughout?

Take the plot of Bio-Dome, but it's Ellis who becomes trapped inside and manages to turn it into a libertarian utopia.

He understood the words he just didn't know why he should do that. The second iteration in English is merely for the audience.

He was daring to question his leader H. Gruber?

I get the feeling he wouldn't have made it to the escape plan given that sort of lapse in command structure

Ellis strikes me more as a Mercedes man, not knowing that the finest engine ever built is clearly in the BMW 750iL
