Last December someone on social media suggested that Charlize Theron would be the perfect person to star in a lesbian remake of Die Hard.At the time, the 45-year-old Academy Award winner quipped in response that she would be up for the role and in a new interview with Vanity Fair published Tuesday, Theron is doubling down. ‘I mean, it’s a great idea,’ she said. ‘That’s why I replied on Twitter. Because I just thought that was kind of brilliant.’ The initial tweet from a fan posted on December 5, 2020 read: ‘Lesbian Christmas rom coms are all well and good but what I REALLY want is a Die Hard where Charlize Theron goes on a rampage to save her wife’Charlize quote tweeted the post responding ‘where do I sign’ and suggested that her fan start pitching Hollywood producers.  When asked about the possibility, in her recent interview, Theron seemed more than game to step into the role first made famous by actor Bruce Willis. ‘The fact that it would be two women,’ she said, ‘I was like, ‘Yeah, sign me on.’ Die Hard, starring Willis as NYPD officer John McClane, premiered to tepid reviews in 1988.
