John Moore (born 1970) is an Irish director, producer and writer who is best known for ''Behind Enemy Lines'' and for the 2013 action film in the ''Die Hard'' franchise ''A Good Day to Die Hard''. ==Early life and career== Moore was born in Dundalk, Ireland, and attended Dublin Institute of Technology, where he attained a degree in Media Arts. Upon completing his course, Moore genuinely believed that he wouldn't go on to work within the medium of film, but after a few years, that promptly changed. After graduating, he wrote and directed a series of short films in Ireland. Several of these shorts have featured on Irish TV networks over the years, and along the way Moore founded an Irish-based production company called Clingfilms. He then went on to direct several commercials, including the launch advertisement for Dreamcast, which 20th Century Fox found so impressive they gave him the $17 million (BTL) budget for ''Behind Enemy Lines''. To date, Moore has made five films for 20th Century Fox: ''Behind Enemy Lines'' (2001), ''Flight of the Phoenix'' (2004), ''The Omen'' (2006), ''Max Payne'' (2008) and ''A Good Day to Die Hard'' (2013). Despite receiving mixed reviews, both ''Behind Enemy Lines'' and ''The Omen'' did well at the box office. ''Flight of the Phoenix'', however, received mainly negative reviews and grossed just under $35 million worldwide, much less than the film's budget.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX )〕 ''Max Payne'' also receiving mainly negative reviews, but became a box office success, grossing $85 million on a $35 million budget. ''A Good Day to Die Hard'' has also received mostly negative reviews, but grossed $304 million on a $92 million budget, making it his highest grossing film. In September 2008, Moore was involved in a dispute with the MPAA over the certification of his film ''Max Payne''. The MPAA gave the film an R rating initially, which Moore argued viciously against. The rating was a month later changed to PG-13, just before theatrical distribution. In late 2010, Moore was announced to be the director for the recent ''Die Hard'' film, ''A Good Day to Die Hard''. The film premiered worldwide on 14 February 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Moore (director)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
