Wiseman Comes Full Circle In Making Die Hard....

Director Len Wiseman was inspired to become a filmmaker from his childhood awe with Bruce Willis as John McClane in Die Hard (88).The Underworld filmmaker has come full-circle with the direction of the latest installment of the series, Live Free & Die Hard - released internationally as Die Hard 4.0.He says, "Die Hard, Indiana Jones, and Lethal Weapon were the movies that really kicked it off for me in high school. I saw the making of Raiders of the Lost Ark documentary and thought: 'Man, that's the job I want to do.' And I absolutely love the original Die Hard."John McClane is our best reluctant hero. He doesn't wanna be there, he's bitching all the time, he can be a bit of an asshole, a bit crude. We can relate to that, because we wouldn't want to be there either."
