| Synopsis:
Iconoclastic, take-no-prisoners cop John McClane, for the
first time, finds himself on foreign soil after traveling to
Moscow to help his wayward son Jack - unaware that Jack is
really a highly-trained CIA operative out to stop a nuclear
weapons heist. With the Russian underworld in pursuit, and
battling a countdown to war, the two McClanes discover that
their opposing methods make them unstoppable
heroes.

A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER |
|
This film is a freight train. It starts and it
doesn’t let go. But if the score sounds like that to you, then I
think that comes from the fact that I’ve done four movies with the
director John Moore, including “Flight of the Phoenix,” “The Omen”
and “Max Payne” with Buck. So I sort of get him as person. We also
had very little time to score this movie, about six weeks, which
made us write it like a freight train as well. Another difference is
that this soundtrack identifies with the past Michael Kamen “Die
Hard” scores, while functioning as its own thing as well. Buck
created a lot of the rhythmic settings for the orchestra to play
with. Also because the nature of the quick turn around, Marcus Trump
and Brandon Roberts really helped with the programming as well. They
were still filming as we were working on it, doing additional scenes
even as the sessions were going on. Drastic new cuts were arriving.
While there are 80 minutes of score in the movie, we actually ended
up writing over two hours of music before it was all approved
because of the new cuts. It was a whirlwind of a
score. |
