We have been reporting quite a bit on Blumhouse's upcoming TV series based on their hit horror-thriller franchise THE PURGE lately and now we can add yet another hit horror film franchise to the TV lineup as it seems Len Wiseman is currently developing a new series based on UNDERWORLD.
Len Wiseman on UNDERWORLD: The TV Series
The series will be a pretty big departure from the films. I don’t want to say it’s more adult, but it’s definitely less comic book in its tone and character.
For those who may not know, Len Wiseman was the director of the original UNDERWORLD film (and a few of its sequels) and he will now be acting as executive producer on the new series.
But… as cool as all of that is, what interests me the most in Deadline's article is that Wiseman has just been confirmed as the director of the newest installment in the DIE HARD series!
Yes, Wiseman who directed LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD will be returning to the franchise along with Bruce Willis for a prequel/sequel that is said to involve John McClane in both present day and 1970’s New York.
Bruce Willis is all set to return as John McClane and casting is currently underway for the actor who will play young John McClane.
