IFMagazine talked to Len Wiseman and he is going to be one busy boy what with doing Die Hard 4 and being
approached to Direct the Wolverine Movie When asked why he thought the studio had approached him to direct Die Hard 4 he responded quote:
I think the studio came to me because they want to re-invent it, they want it to be more modern.
They want to put a different slant on it.
It comes at a good time for me, because I’m not everybody’s first choice when you think of DIE HARD.
That’s actually something I want to show.
I go to these comic book conventions because I’m not some major Goth.
What’s good for me is to do other movies that I really love like DIE HARD, which are a completely different style.
This is great for me so I don’t get stuck in being "Mr. Goth".
He also answered the rumor that Underworld 3 will be a prequel and will not involve Kate Beckinsales character at all. You will recall Jerrica discussed this in here piece
What Kate Beckinsale Is and Isn't Doing These Days Len Wiseman addressed this issue in his interview, quote:
The third film is going to be a prequel.
It will be the origin story and we find out things we didn’t know about Lucian; he’ll have a much bigger part in it.
It will be about the creation [of the races] and what started the war.
It will be a period piece.
In terms of the writing, a lot of the writing has been done.
We’ve been developing UNDERWORLD 3 for a while. I won’t be directing UNDERWORLD 3; I’m just going to be producing and writing.
