Word has it that Smith's role is a supporting character that is a hacker/computer wiz with some witty and sarcastic dialogue. Think about the Jack Black, Seth Green, and Jamie Kennedy parts in Enemy of the State. Similar to those type of roles and dialogue that was used. People will love this movie. It's a John McClane flick but amped up to the extreme... obviously to match "24", which I consider to be the ultimate unofficial Die Hard franchise in the absence of years past. Plenty of smart ass Willis moments! Call me "Transformerswillruletheworldcomejuly!" ;)Thanks for the note...appreciated.
Kevin Smith appeared at MacWorld expo in San Francisco. I got to ask him what he's doing with Live free or Die Hard, and he says he has a pretty covered role, that it isn't just a cameo but a supporting role and that if they wanted to cut him out they'd have lot of cutting to do because he gets referred to throughout the film. He described his role as "one of those dudes that you don't see until that one moment". Apparently he gives McClane some vital info to saving the day. He was pretty hyped about it. Mish
