don’t make this

I understand what you mean, however technically it's a property and also a prequel which means a number of potential actors could portray McClane. It would have been nice to have Willis in a kind of 'Wonder Years' role where he recounts his character's early career which leads into the late 1980s and Die Hard, however he is not involved in acting anymore. AI voice generation may be able to step in, in this regard, however I'm not sure about the ethical and legal aspects of it.

However, the idea of a police series set in the late 1970s United States is very appealing to me, especially if it links into an established property like Die Hard.

And ultimately it will expand this universe further which I'm sure a number of fans would appreciate, and the production would keep a large number of people employed in the industry. I'm honestly tired of all the various cop / crime shows currently out there and need some 'edge' to get me interested. Having it set in the Die Hard universe would do it for me!

And also, it appears that the project may be cancelled?
