Wow, I'm trying to imagine a worse idea for a sequel than Eig8t. Other than S. Darko. Or Citizen Kane 2: Zombie Holocaust.

There's that Bruce Willis/Frank Sinatra connection, but I guess you know about that already.

Remind me.

-- Remind me.

If I got it right, "NOTHING LAST FOREVER" (filmed as Die Hard) was the same character as in the book "THE DETECTIVE" by Roderick Thorpe -- same character played by Frank Sinatra in the previous movie.

' ... LASTS FOREVER'

Thanks. I remember now. I even have a copy of that book.

I wonder if you meant THE DETECTIVE or the later sequel. It turned out the name was Det. Joe Leland in each book, I believe.

I did read another book - RAINBOW DRIVE - he was a hard-edged style author I think.

Mia Farrow was probably planned to star in THE DETECTIVE, but they divorced and later the casting fell to Lee Remick.


Earlier, Remick was in one of her first roles, an excellent movie FACE IN THE CROWD.
