Secret Asian Man spies on DIE HARD 4.0 on a Plane at 30,000 feet!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... I love this sort of "spy report" - it's exactly the sort of thing that tells us that cool movie shit is happening all around us, you need just keep your eyes and ears open to hear and see it. Secret Asian Man was eavesdropping upon a meeting, it seems, between Len Wiseman, Patrick Tatoupolous and possibly a line producer on the next DIE HARD film. What's interesting about this report is that they were flying from Los Angeles to Baltimore over the 4th of July... Why are they headed to Baltimore? Is this where they're planning to shoot the next DIE HARD? Wenow know there's a flipped over semi-truck. And... John Maclane's son has gone the way of the dodo. Here's Secret Asian Man with the scoop...
Hey Harry. This is my first time writing to you or contributing in any way to aint it cool. Anyways, I was flying down to Baltimore from Los Angeles over the Fourth of July weekend. I was sitting in first class and as the sneaky little easedropper that I am, I was listening in on the conversation of the two gentlemen in front of me. First of all, let me say that I first noticed that the gentleman in front of me to my left was looking through a portfolio with a lot of sketch art in it. The portfolio had the title "Die Hard 4.0" on it and also the name Patrick. The upper left hand corner of the pages had in bold print, "Die Hard". This, needless to say, caught my attention. I was trying to peek through the open space to get a better glimpse of the portfolio but the only thing that I could see was a drawing of what looked like a flipped over semi-truck. The two men were talking back and forth to each other and the gentleman directly in front of me said, "I then want Maclane to jump out of the way". I by no means know what he meant by this but as soon as I heard the name "Maclane", I knew that this was someone big. The person sitting next to me leaned forward and said, "Hey Len". Bingo!! It was the director, Len Wiseman!! Nice! To my great fortune, I got to sit behind the next director of the Die Hard movies! The person sitting right next to me also had something to do with the movie but I'm not sure what it is. He was looking through a bunch of pages with numbers on it which made no sense to me. However, he did say to Len, "I don't think we should put ______ in the credits". (Didn't hear the name). I finally got the balls to ask the guy if the person in front of me was Len Wiseman and he said yes. I told him that I read about the story line for the next Die Hard and heard that Maclane's son was suppose to be in it. The guy told me that that was the original concept but they changed it. Now, it's not Maclane's son, but some computer genious that they're getting out of jail to help Maclane with the situation.
Anyways, it's not much but I thought this was pretty interesting. (At least to me it was) If you decide to use this, you can call me Secret Asian Man. Peace out!
Oh, and by the way. I was looking through the credits of Underworld and the only Patrick that I saw was Patrick Tatoupolous who was the costume designer. This makes a lot of sense since sketch art would be what he does. (and he did look Greek)
