Die Hard 5 has found a director, and it is Noam Murro. Murro directed “Smart People,” but most will know his work on the latest Halo ad campaign.
Die Hard 5 is moving toward the start gate at 20th Century Fox. I’m told the studio will set Noam Murro to direct the film that has been scripted by Skip Woods. They will continue to develop the script. While Murro directed the Sarah Jessica Parker-starrer Smart People for Miramax. Murro really impressed Fox brass with his most recent campaign for the Halo video game.
Murro is a relatively inexperience feature director, but he has won a ton of awards for his commercials, and the Halo ads are pretty great. To be fair, I think after the $384 million grossed worldwide for Live Free and Die Hard, Murro was probably a carefully considered choice, so we can probably trust the studio. I just hope we get back to a rated R John McClane.
