I februar kunne vi bringe dig nyheden om, at 20th Century Fox havde udset Noam Murro (“Smart People”) til instruktørtjansen på “Die Hard 5”.

Det lader nu til, at Murro har valgt at springe fra for i stedet fuldt ud at fokusere på “300: Battle of Artemisia”. Imens en ny instruktør endnu ikke er blevet fundet, så skulle John Moore, der stod bag “Max Payne” og genindspilningen af “The Omen”, være under overvejelse.
Desuden vil John McClane for første gang bevæge sig uden for USA, for i stedet at slå et smut forbi Rusland, hvor der er planer om, at den garvede strømer vil få følgeskab af sin søn.

Nu har man anvendt Computer grafik før, skal du se. Dog ikke i samme grad som idag. Men DH4 har stadig rigeligt og kunne skam have haft mindre hvis man ikke tyede til overdrevne scener. Og så er CGI ofte mest anvendt i fantasy genren idag. Bourne film synes jeg da føles mere ægte end DH4. Der er hav af små actionfilm som slet ikke bruger cgi idag.

Det sidste videoklip du linker til, kan jeg udmærket huske reaktionen på i biografen. Ligesom jeg kan huske reaktionerne på angrebet i lejligheden. Parkour scenen i baggården. Tunnel scenen med bilerne. Helikopter og biljagtsekvensen. Og ikke mindst scenen som slutter med en SUV i en elevatorskakt.
FORMI-FUCKING-DABELT udført. Rigtige stunts og rigtig old school action og masser af medlevende publikum'er i biografen, fordi skidtet føltes rigtigt. I modsætning til reaktionerne på det meste CGI lort, man har set før og siden. Bare end credits da stuntmen skulle nævnes, var en herlig oplevelse. Endelig en instruktør, som kan og kunne levere "the real thing".
Visual effects
For the visual effects used throughout the film, actor Bruce Willis and director Len Wiseman stated that they wanted to use a limited amount of CGI. One VFX producer said that "Len was insisting on the fact that, because we’ve got Transformers and other big CG movies coming out, this one has to feel more real. It has to be embedded in some kind of practical reality in order to give it that edge of being a Die Hard." Companies such as Digital Dimension, The Orphanage, R!ot, Pixel Magic, and Amalgamated Pixels assisted in the visual effects of the film.
Digital Dimension worked on 200 visual effects shots in the film, including the sequence that shows characters John McClane and Matt Farrell crouching between two cars as another car lands on top of the other cars. To achieve this effect, a crane yanked the car and threw it in the air onto the two cars that were also being pulled by cables. The shot was completed when the two characters were integrated into the footage of the car stunt after the lighting was adjusted and CGI glass and debris were added. In the same sequence, John McClane propels a car into a hovering helicopter, which crashes to the ground. This was accomplished by first filming one take where an assassin with a rifle jumps from the helicopter, and in the next take the car is propelled into the stationary helicopter as it is hoisted by wires. The final view of the shot overlays the two takes, with added CGI for the debris and moving rotor blades. The company also assisted in adding cars for traffic collisions and masses of people for evacuations from several government buildings.
The Orphanage developed a multi-level freeway interchange for use in one of the final scenes of the film by creating a digital environment and a 1,000-foot (300 m) long spiral ramp that was built in front of a bluescreen. When a F-35 jet is chasing McClane on the freeway, a miniature model and a full-size prop were both built to assist in digitally adding the jet into the scene. The nine-foot model was constructed from November 2006 through February 2007. When the jet is shown hovering near the freeway, editors used the software 3D graphics program Maya to blur the background and create a heat ripple effect.
Filming and injuries
Justin Long, Bruce Willis, and Len Wiseman filming on location in Baltimore.
Filming for Live Free or Die Hard started in downtown Baltimore, Maryland on September 23, 2006. Eight different sets were built on a large soundstage for filming many scenes throughout the film. When recording the sound for the semi trailer used in one of the final scenes of the film, 18 microphones were used to record the engine, tires, and damage to the vehicle. Post-production for the film only took 16 weeks, when it was more common for similar films to use 26 weeks.

In order to prevent possible injuries and be in peak condition for the film, Willis worked out almost daily for several months prior to filming. Willis was injured January 24, 2007 during a fight scene, when he was kicked above his right eye by a stunt double for actress Maggie Q who was wearing stiletto heels. Willis described the event as "no big deal" but when Len Wiseman inspected his injury, he noticed that the situation was much more serious than previously thought—in the DVD commentary, Wiseman indicates in inspecting the wound that he could see bone. Willis was hospitalized and received seven stitches which ran through his right eyebrow and down into the corner of his eye. Due to the film's non-linear production schedule, these stitches can accidentally be seen in the scene where McClane first delivers Farrell to Bowman.
Throughout filming, between 200 and 250 stunt people were used. Bruce Willis' stunt double, Larry Rippenkroeger, was knocked unconscious when he fell 25 feet (7.6 m) from a fire escape to the pavement. Rippenkroeger suffered broken bones in his face, several broken ribs, a punctured lung, and fractures in both wrists. Due to his injuries, production was temporarily shut down. Willis personally paid the hotel bills for Rippenkroeger's parents and visited him a number of times at the hospital.

Det er jo præcis hvad jeg skriver. :)

Ja, men ikke desto mindre var det anvendt før. Og bare fordi DH4 er mindre CG drevet end fantasy genren idag, så er den stadig den mest kunstige af de fire og en del andre actionfilm, selv fra idag. Jeg havde ønsket flere in camera scener.

Jeg må erkende, at jeg slet ikke ved hvor du vil hen.. Du spurgte til hvilke film bruce sammenlignede med og jeg gav mit bud på det - altså at det naturligvis ikke kunne være de gamle DH-film, men actionfilm fra samme periode som DH4.
12+ års udvikling gør altså en verden til forskel og hvis du vil frem til at CGI gør forskellen mellem DH1-3 og DH4, vil jeg sige, at du tager voldsomt fejl.
Udvikling, filmtype, kamera, en generation mellem instruktørerne, måden man filmer på, måden man fremkalder på, instruktørens visuelle vision (der i øvrigt stemmer rigtigt godt overens med filmens tema/skurk) o.s.v.

- Der er sket noget siden den første film i serien. :-)
#28 Babo84 13 år siden
Jeg vil bare frem til, at CGI også var anvendt igennem 90'erne. Jovist der er sket en udvikling siden, men DH4 kunne ligeså godt have været Old school som de andre, hvis man ikke tyede til overdrevne scener. Men lad nu Bruce svare.

Nåmen, jeg er da interesseret i hvad præcis det er i filmen, du mener der IKKE er old school, når vi taler praktiske effekter, stunts o.s.v. - se evt. Bruce' indlæg ovenfor.
