Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival in France, Willis--who stars as policeman John McClane in the Die Hard films--revealed the highly anticipated sequel is expected to start filming soon.
He said, "We're as close as we've ever got to getting Die Hard 4 started.
"It won't be called Die Hard 4 but that will be the story. Hopefully it will be out next summer."
The movie's plot had to be rewritten after last year's Hurricane Katrina tragedy--the original screenplay involved an oil tanker explosion that sends huge waves flooding into New Orleans, Louisiana.
Die Hard was released in 1988 and made Willis a star. Two sequels followed--Die Hard 2: Die Harder in 1990 and Die Hard with a Vengeance in 1995.
