It looks like work on the planned Die Hard sequel/ prequel, Die Hard: Year One is continuing. Director Len Wiseman gave a brief update to Collider and revealed more about the plot and the exposure that Bruce Willis will get in the movie, despite it reportedly focussing on a much younger John McClane for the majority of the movie as it is set during his younger days in New York City in 1979
Here’s what Wiseman had to say.
“After doing the fourth one, there were so many conversations that Bruce and I were having about what he put into the character for Die Hard 1. That character comes in with so much baggage, emotionally, and experience. He’s already divorced, he’s bitter, his Captain hates him and doesn’t want him back. So, what created that guy?”
“We’ve never seen the actual love story,” Wiseman continued. “We know its demise, but we’ve never seen what it was like when he met Holly, or when he was a beat cop in 78 in New York when there was no chance of him making detective. It’s always been something I’ve been thinking about, and now we’re doing it. And it ties in”.
More as we get it.
