John McTiernan, the iconic director known for classics like Predator and Die Hard, was recently honored at the Sombra fantasy film festival in Spain. Grateful for the recognition, McTiernan revealed his intent to return to filmmaking despite over 20 years since his last project. Cautious about sharing details, he prefers to wait until projects are finalized. During his recent public appearances, he engaged with fans and humorously discussed the ongoing debate about whether Die Hard qualifies as a Christmas movie, tying it to themes from Shakespeare’s works.
I'm a little superstitious about talking about movies until we're shooting them. I've had a couple of independently financed films that I was certain were going to happen and then didn't. I'm just going to wait and see.
It's about a festival night, in the style of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, when all the important people become asses and the asses become heroes. So I pushed the Christmas thing.
