Die Hard: The True Story Behind the Bruce Willis Classic
Now considered a pioneering example of the modern action blockbuster, Die Hard was an underdog. None of the now-household names were stars, groundbreaking techniques were invented on the fly, and a musical crooner was offered the leading role.
Famed Directors Kept Passing on the Project Ironically, therein lay the hiccup: after a decade of profit, Rambo wasn't a style the industry creatives flocked to. Robocop director Paul Verhoeven turned down an offer, as did Predator's own John McTiernan — several times. But Fox executives were insistent, and he agreed on the condition the terrorists become thieves instead, as from his perspective Die Hard needed "some joy" to set it apart from others of its ilk.
After rounding out the supporting cast with fellow unknowns , production took place inside the Fox Plaza building on the Fox lot. It was important to both McTeirnan and director of photography Jan de Bont to keep the film grounded in a sense of reality, which meant using locations instead of sets designed on a studio backlot.
