According to reports, the fifth 20th Century Fox "Die Hard" feature starring actor Bruce Willis as 'Detective John McClane' will be directed by Noam Murro ("Smart People").
The 2007 release of "Die Hard 4" aka "Live Free or Die Hard", grossed $383.5 million theatrical worldwide.
The "Die Hard" movie franchise kicked off with director John McTiernan's $28 million budgeted "Die Hard", released in 1988, written by Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza, for producers Lawrence and Charles Gordon.
Based on the 1979 novel "Nothing Lasts Forever" by author Roderick Thorp, that book was a sequel to the novel "The Detective", previously adapted into a 1968 feature starring Frank Sinatra.
The "Die Hard" movie follows its source material closely, with much of the film's memorable scenes, characters and dialogue taken directly from "Nothing Lasts Forever", which was adapted as a stand-alone movie when Sinatra refused to do a sequel to "The Detective".
In 2009, comic book publishers Boom! Studios began publishing the early adventures of 'Detective John McClane', written by Howard Chaykin.
