Travelling to Moscow to bail Jack out, he gets caught up in a terrorist plot to assassinate billionare Komarov who Jack has been assigned to protect – it turns out that Jack’s actually a CIA agent and Komarov holds information which is vital to international security.
He discovers that Jack has been imprisoned and is on trial in Moscow for attempted assassination. Moving on to the plot, A Good Day to Die Hard follows John McClane trying to reconnect with his son, Jack. Yuliya Snigr plays Irina, the skanky chick from the trailer who acts as Alik’s main henchwoman. Radivoje Bukvic plays Alik, the main villain though most of the film. The film also features of few villains, although only a couple are notable. Sebastian Koch plays Komarov, an imprisoned billionare who Jack has to defend. Playing Jack McClane, John’s estranged son, is Jai Courtney, known for Jack Reacher and Spartacus: Blood and Sand. As for the cast, Bruce Willis returns (obviously), and Mary Elizabeth Winstead has a small cameo as well. That said, the trailers for Max Payne had a really strong, interesting visual element, so if nothing else then hopefully he could make the film look very nice. While I haven’t really watched any of his films, I am told that they tend to not be very good. The film was directed by John Moore, notable for such films as Max Payne, the Flight of the Phoenix and The Omen remakes and Behind Enemy Lines. X-Men Origins: Wolverine? Hitman? Swordfish? The A-Team? His screenwriting credits read like a history of major failed blockbusters. Scriptwriting duties were given to Skip Woods… and his CV is a doozy. In any case, A Good Day is the first Die Hard film to start production as a part of the Die Hard franchise instead of another source. Maybe John McClane would have been on vacation in Russia, which would make some of the film we got make a bit more sense… but anyway, this was never confirmed and the film was eventually retitled to “ A Good Day to Die Hard“. Supposedly, the film would have been pretty similar, with Jack McClane being replaced with Jack Bauer. Initially, the project was known as Die Hard 24/7, leading to significant speculation that the film was to be a crossover between Die Hard and 24.
Not particularly innovative, although it highlights the characters and setting (via the humorously photoshopped Kremlin in the background).ĭespite the financial and critical success of Live Free or Die Hard, production didn’t begin on a fifth Die Hard film until 2010. Again, same template for the poster design.
