McTiernan, John (John McTiernan)

John McTiernan was born on January 8, 1951 in Albany, New York, USA, in a family opera singer. John left the stage for the first time in the age of seven. He graduated from Dzhulliardovskuyu School and University of New York. During his studies took short films "Poor Richard Almanac" and "Meditation". Then his own company, McTiernan began taking journalistic coverage. Then McTiernan worked at the Manhattan School of Music and later received a grant from the American Film Institute. With the money he made short film "observer" with Edward Frans and Diane Douglas. Soon, he sat down at his own script, laboring shooting commercials for television. In this scenario, McTiernan and took his first real film - "Nomads"

. The young director said producer Joe Silver, and he did not have time to breathe, as has been proved to be one of the set and Arnold Schwarzenegger, to whom, and gave instructions on how to survive in the jungle with "Predator."

. The next film is literally all the luck
. Young directors needed to consolidate its reputation as someone who knows a good judge in an action movie, but a beginning actor does not prevent the world premiere of positive reviews and criticism. So the "Die Hard" has brought "a sense of satisfaction" and the director, and actor, and critics, but how happy the audience ...

Next was "The Hunt for Red October" with Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin in the lead roles. Again, Sean Connery - the "Healer", Arnold once again - in "Last Action Hero," Willis once again - in the third part of the "Strong Nuts". It seems that John McTiernan prefers to work with his friends and well-tested in human beings.

In 1999 came two bright screens of the wizard: "13th Warrior" with Antonio Banderas and "The Sting Thomas Crown Affair" with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo
