Die Hard
The story of Die Hard starts in the mid-sixties, and the film adaptation of a dark film noir detective drama novel, The Detective, starring Frank Sinatra. That film warranted a sequel, but the sequel novel Nothing Lasts Forever would take eleven years to be written, and its film adaptation would take a further nine years to make it to the big screen, with some major changes.Gone was Frank Sinatra reprising his role, and the death of the character's on-screen daughter. The dark, depressing story was revitalised, with a new lead character, on-screen marital issues, explosive action, and one of the most charismatic and interesting villains ever put to screen.And it all started with a carboard box in the middle of the freeway... I would love to hear your thoughts on Die Hard !CONTACT....
