LiveFreeDieHard.jpgI had heard this news loads during the week and just never posted it, but it is an important piece of casting for the strangely titled Live Free or Die Hard. Turns out that the previous report of Jeffrey Wright joining Live Free or Die Hard as the baddie just isnt true, which I think is a shame as Wright makes a superb baddy. However the new baddie has been cast.



The man going against Bruce Willis, and so obviously losing, this time around is...Timothy Olyphant. Also joining the cast is Mary Elizabeth Winstead as McCLanes daughter, fantastic. Bet she gets thrown in the way of peril as often as a series of 24.



One of the reasons I didnt print this news, carried today from Hollywood Reporter through Cinematical, is that it didnt excite me.



Olyphant hasnt set me alight in anything Ive seen him in (what I have seen him in that is) and as for him having a daughter, well it stinks of the same old story lever used time and time again - of course I could be wrong and they do something incredible with the character...but I doubt itll happen. Play it safe.



I wish they had managed to get Wright.
