DIE HARD Celebrates 30th Anniversary With Outdoor Screening at Nakatomi Tower
Die Hard is easily one of my favorite action movies of all time, so I was thrilled when I was invited to attend an outdoor screening of the film at Nakatomi Tower. I've gotta say, it was pretty awesome watching this movie in the shadow of the building where it was filmed!
Not only that, but I got to watch the movie while enjoying Twinkies! It was a charming little touch that added to the experience. Like Officer Powell says, Twinkies are loaded with, "Sugar-enriched flour, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, polysorbate 60, and Yellow Dye No. 5. Just everything a growing boy needs."
Bonnie Bedelia and Reginald VelJohnson both showed up for the screening to thank the fans for their love of Die Hard. You can watch them get up and talk about the screening in the video provided below, which contains a few minutes of footage from the event to give you a taste of what it was like and make you jealous about not being able to attend.
The Die Hard 30th Anniversary Edition is currently available for purchase on 4K, Blu-ray, and Digital if you're a fan of the film, and if you don't have an HD copy of it yet, now is your chance. I included all of the details for the release below the video.
Here are a few photos from the event:
