“Nearly 300 yards of total offense (including yards rushing, receiving, and passing)? Vomiting on the sidelines between quarters? Scrapping and clawing for every inch for nearly four hours? I thought I was watching John McClane crawl over broken glass through an air conditioning duct to throw Hans Gruber out of a window at Nakatomi Plaza,” said Die Hard producer Joel Silver via Zoom on Sunday evening.

“We’re excited to have him on board because he’s LIVED it, he knows what it’s like to take nearly endless punishment—and keep going—for a whole night. Cam Skattebo knows what it means to die hard.”

What’s the plot of the forthcoming action flick? Silver says that’s still up in the air, but that having Skattebo on board might change the scope a bit.

“It’d be fun to see if we can work some kind of 4th down conversion into the story, or a showdown that happens on the field of Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Something where Cam’s expertise can really shine,” Silver concluded.
