Live Free or Die Hard news today and we have finally found out who will be playing the movie's villain and it's..........
Timothy Olyphant! The guy of course was ONE of the killers in
Scream 2 and more recently has been a regular on the hit TV show
Deadwood.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead of
Final Destination 3 fame will be playing the role of John McClane's daughter who in early drafts of the screenplay gets kidnapped by the computer terroists. So what does this mean for
Jeffrey Wright? Was his involvement just rumour all along or will he be in the picture as another one of the villains? I hope so because I was looking forward to seeing him in this. I like Timothy Olyphant but the guy can't play any other role than "eccentric guy". Still if your looking for an eccentric villain you can't do much better than him, I thought he was great in Scream 2 with his villain monologue. Filming is currently under way in Los Angeles with a June 07 release date planned! source -
