| Synopsis:
When someone hacks into the computers at the FBI's Cyber Crime
Division; the Director decides to round up all the hackers who
could have done this. When he's told that because it's the 4th
of July most of their agents are not around so they might have
trouble getting people to get the hackers. So he instructs
them to get local PD'S to take care of it. And one of the cops
they ask is John McClane who is tasked with bringing a hacker
named Farrell to the FBI. But as soon as he gets there someone
starts shooting at them. McClane manages to get them out but
they're still being pursued. And it's just when McClane
arrives in Washington that the whole system breaks down and
chaos ensues.

A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER |
|
It was conscious in the fact that, both I and
the director Len (Wiseman), thought there should be some homage to
the original Michael Kamen scores, because they were so classic,
even though there wasn't any real defined theme for the movie, there
was a Die Hard motif, but no real theme. They wanted to reflect the
score in some way, but the studio wanted a much more modern sounding
score, so the trick was, how to achieve both. But I think the way to
achieve that we figured out was to use the chord voicings in the
brass, that you mentioned, and the motif and some of the string
figures and score the picture in more of a modern setting, but using
these throughout as recurrent motivic ideas. I think that achieved
some sort of continuity and homage to Kamen's scores and satisfy the
requirement of being a modern
score. |
