The day before A Good Day to Die Hard hit theaters, fans in New York City sat through a marathon screening of the first four films at the AMC Empire 25 — and were rewarded with a visit from John McClane himself, Bruce Willis, before seeing the new film.
Jai Courtney, who plays McClane’s grown-up son in the film, was also in attendance, and both actors agreed their characters share a common trait: stubbornness. ”Just like most guys,” said Willis, “he thinks he knows everything and…doesn’t.”
I also asked Courtney if the stunts in Die Hard films, or at least this one, are as old school as they look. ”We blew things up. For real.” Courtney bragged. ”There’s over a hundred cars being crashed, for real.”

So, how did Roman Coppola come up with the idea for The Secret Society of Ball Busters? I talked to writer and director of A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III at a recent screening of his iconoclastic movie, and he told me that ”sometimes when a girl has an intuitive sense about something going on, you wonder where they’re getting their information!”Check out my full red carpet interview with him and cast member Jason Schwartzman below:
A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III opens in limited release on February 8th, and is currently available On Demand.
