Dial Hard: John McClane goes mobile

via joystiq

A new Die Hard game is in development, and while those of you still waiting for a fitting sequel to the awesome Die Hard Trilogy (no, we refuse to count Viva Las Vegas) are still out of luck, it's good news for people using mass transit or killing idle bathroom minutes. That's right: Gameloft has announced they've nabbed the mobile game rights to Live Free or Die Hard, due out in theaters this summer.

We know it may not be what you were hoping for, but take heart. Gameloft VP Gonzague de Vallois said that they're trying to capture the movie's "action, intrigue and humor" ... in their cell phone game. We'll give them action and (maybe) intrigue, but humor? Is it possible? Can pressing the "7" key make you chortle? We'll find out when the game is released before the movie's June 27 debut.
