“A Good Day to Die Hard” is the latest movie in the famous “Die Hard” series with the star studded cast of Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney and Sebastian Koch. The new film will be in cinemas worldwide from 14 February 2013.
Iconoclastic, take-no-prisoners cop John McClane, for the first time, finds himself on foreign soil after traveling to Moscow to help his wayward son Jack. With the Russian underworld in pursuit, and battling a countdown to war, the two McClanes discover their opposing methods make them unstoppable heroes.
Also starring in the film is a whole fleet of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, a total of 14 different models. Many of them appear in breathtakingly spectacular car-chases shot in Budapest, Hungary. Four indestructible Mercedes-Benz models play a key role in the battle for survival to save the world: the G-Class, the Unimog, the Sprinter and the Zetros.
In addition to the hero-cars, several other Mercedes-Benz vehicles will be seen in the film. Among them are the C-Class, Vito, E-Class Saloon as well as the new G 63 AMG, a GL-Class and a Maybach 57.
Mercedes-Benz has a strong presence not only in the film, but also provided transportation for actors during the shooting, and will be supporting the premiere screenings in London and Berlin as well. The provision of an exclusive shuttle fleet for the film’s actors and VIP guests is, of course, all part of the service.
“We are very pleased that we were able to support the new film in the exciting “Die Hard” series with a large number of our vehicles. From the C-Class to the Zetros, the Mercedes-Benz model fleet could not be better suited to this action film with its spectacular stunts. An exciting film with many emotionally appealing vehicles,” says Anders Sundt Jensen, Head of Brand Communication Mercedes-Benz Cars.
“For example, the G-Class, Sprinter, Unimog and Zetros are the ideal “hero cars” for the hard-as-nails requirements of John and Jack McClane“, he added.
