Die Hard

I absolutely love all of the Die Hard movies starring Bruce Willis as police detective John McClane.

Die Hard The Ultimate Visual History the oversize hardbound book from Insight Editions celebrates the movie franchise.

Authors James Mottram and David S. Cohen provide an exhaustive study of the films from concept to completion.

Complemented with hundreds of photos and illustrations along with insightful production notes and details the book is a massive archive of the films.

Behind-the-scenes photos and interviews, never seen before missing scenes and other fascinating observations and recollections fill the book.

Look for special inserts that recreate documents, special effects secrets, stage settings, actors and production staff recollections and so much more.

Costume designs, set and location photos, storyboards and information about the cast, crew, soundtracks and other production information delve heavily into the making of the famous film series.

All five films are examined including comments about the films’ imitators.

It’s a delightful excursion into creation of a film icon and the processes by which the films were brought to the big screen.
