Thoughts on a DIE HARD tv series?

[Sussudio]

I was reading Movieola this morning and skimmed over a news story which had this bit of information:

I recently spoke to a writer whose been pitching Fox a “Die Hard” TV series – one which, like the comic, fixes on McClane pre-Nakatomzi Plaza. But instead of travelling back as far as 1976, it’s actually set the twelve months before the events of the first film.

I’ve read some outlines for what would be the first season, and browsed the character breakdowns, and it’s actually quite cool. I’d watch the show. All they’d need is a great young McClane (if Benjamin McKenzie weren’t busy with “Southland” he’d be terrific; and we know he looks good in a wife-beater).

Still, I don’t know where the TV series (which I believe was titled ‘McClane’ at one stage) is at, or whether or not it’s even been picked up, just saying it’s a nifty idea. Maybe the comic will help push it along? Wouldn’t surprise me if it pops up on Fox’s radar in the near future… if it hasn’t already.

I could see a Die Hard prequel series being kind of cool. Who of you would watch it?
