I can't find any information why she didn't appear in this film. Anyone have any answers? I'm not talking about the character but why she didn't appear. Is it because of choice, and not included in the director's script?
shareThe script wasn't written by the director. It was written by the screenwriter. And it was never written to be a sequel to anything. And even when it was initially bought, they thought of it as a potential Lethal Weapon sequel.

That's not the answer I was looking for, smart ass.
sharebut it's the right answer listen to the commentary track
shareIf you were smart, rather than just an ass, you'd realize my answer was the answer you were looking for.
There's no John McClane's wife because it wasn't written as a Die Hard sequel. Why would Holly McClane be in a screenplay that wasn't a Die Hard movie, genius? It was original. So after a production company decides to use the script as a Die Hard sequel, it's easy to add lines of dialogue about Holly and have him make a phone call to her. It would be much harder to just inject a wife character in this already lengthy screenplay.

You can't find any information about it? Have you looked in the Frequently Asked Questions section? Because it IS a frequently asked (and answered) question.
shareIt only describes her character, not the real life person. Can you NOT see the difference?
shareHer character was not necessary for the plot.
She was not going to appear as a different character.
What more of an answer do you want?
So they never asked her or anything like that?
shareCall her yourself and ask her, you troll.
shareBeautiful. You can't distinguish between a real-life person and a character so when you can't come up with a straight answer, you have the nerve to call her then tell me I'm a troll. Not an argument, but a personal attack, which makes you more worse than I am. Please don't bother answering a question you know nothing about. If I was concerned about her character, then I have no reason to post this board at all. Go somewhere else and do something productive.
shareComments toward original poster seem quite harsh. Yes, Holly wasn't written into the script because it wasn't originally a Die Hard script but that doesn't mean the actress couldn't have made an appearance, even just a cameo. I think that's what OP is asking. After all, it would've been re-written a couple more times at least when it became a Die Hard movie.
shareYeah, it is sort of sad not seeing her in any more of the films, but maybe she didn't want to do it. Basically, in both situations, she was held hostage. How many more times did you want that?
