Coming in September from those crazy cats at Bluewater Productions are the following two items. Can’t say I blame them. They’ve had huge success with their Female Force and Political Power one-shots, and some impressive mainstream coverage too.

The Die Hard promo is in the latest Previews, for release in July. It stars a rookie John McClane and is written by Howard Chaykin. This could very well work. Here’s the official lowdown on the new series.
