DieHard 2 director Renny Harlin opens up about his major disagreement with Bruce Willis while filming the action sequel. 'It came to a point where I had to go to Joel (Silver) and say, ‘We have a real problem.’'
Just over 30 years after it first hit theaters, Die Hard 2 director Renny Harlin is opening up about a major disagreement he and Bruce Willis had on the set of the action sequel.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent interview with Empire, Renny Harlin reflected on his time making Die Hard 2 and working with Bruce Willis.
Bruce had turned from a Moonlighting TV star to a movie star overnight with one movie. And it’s not uncommon that when actors get into that position, they sort of develop different goals. So Bruce had this notion from the beginning that he wanted to now play John McClane totally straight, that this movie had to be serious. I said to him, ‘That’s not the John McClane the audience loves. They feel like you’re their friend now, and they don’t want to lose their friend.
One of the more consistent critiques for the film among Die Hard fans has been its very inconsistent tone, which too often veers intensely dramatic in comparison to its somewhat self-aware predecessor. Between its jaw-dropping plane crash killing hundreds of people to Willis' hero delivering fewer one-liners and quips than before, Die Hard 2 has had a hard time resonating with many audiences for moving away from the formula that made the original such a hit.
Harlin Is Right About John McClane While Willis' hopes to keep things fresh with his character in subsequent sequels is an admirable one, especially being so early into the franchise, many are sure to feel that Die Hard 2's Renny Harlin was ultimately right about how John McClane should be portrayed in film.
