DIE HARD Director John McTiernan Returns After 14 Years to Direct Live-Action GHOST RECON WILDLANDS Commercial
Die Hard director John McTiernan has been MIA in the director's chair for the past 14 years. He hasn't directed anything since his 2003 film project Basic with John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. That's a long time to be out of commission, but it looks like maybe he'll make some kind of a comeback.
Well, he quietly jumped back into directing action with a live-action trailer for the upcoming video game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, which I embedded for you below to watch. The director proves that he's still got it, as the commercial has a strong, intense build-up with a cat and a sniper, and it's awesomely executed with its slick and fun style.
The commercial is short, but I loved what I saw, and it'd be awesome to see McTiernan come back and direct another action film! Hell! He should direct the Ubisoft's live-action Ghost Recon movie, which is being produced by Michael Bay. I have no idea if this is the start of a comeback for McTiernan, but I hope it is.
