Last month, director John Moore (MAX PAYNE) is shortlisted as the potential replacement for the long-gestating DIE HARD 5 after original director Noam Murro is forced to bow out due to his heavy commitment to 300: BATTLE OF ARTEMISIA.
Now Twentieth Century Fox has added another three directors competing for the DIE HARD 5 gig. They are: Joe Cornish (ATTACK THE BLOCK), Justin Lin (FAST FIVE), and Nicolas Winding Refn (DRIVE).
While Nicolas Winding Refn is certainly an odd choice to helm a blockbuster action movie like DIE HARD franchise, it would be interesting to see how he can pull off the gig. That of course, if he gets the gig in the end.
