Bruce Willis Will Have More Than Two Scenes in ‘Die Hard: Year One’
When Len Wiseman first teased Die Hard: Year One, fans immediately assumed that the prequel / sequel story would feature Bruce Willis’ John McClane in a limited capacity — the plot sure made it sound as though Willis would only bookend the film as the modern iteration of the character, while a younger actor would take the majority of screentime as a younger version of McClane.

Are we done talking about Star Wars: The Force Awakens yet? Nope! Not when the film’s director of photography is sharing such wonderful photos from behind the scenes of what is set to overtake Avatar as the highest-grossing film of all time.

Abrams’ film.

‘Hail, Caesar!’ TV Spot Promises Some Classic Hollywood Shenanigans From the Coen Brothers
