That’s pretty much how it happened for the _Die Hard _ franchise, and if certain vital changes weren’t made, we would be one 80’s franchise short this very day.
Die Hard almost featured a more aged lead and a severe downer of an ending, and that’s all due to the source material.
To think, if it wasn’t for that Frigidaire box, we wouldn’t have the trailer below, or the iconic film that it sold.
One moment, you’re a sequel to a picture starring Frank Sinatra, and the next you’re the first film in a run-away box office franchise.
