'Cleaner' director gets candid on eco-terrorism, and what he makes of those 'Die Hard' comparisons

"Cleaner" director Martin Campbell talks eco-terrorism and why he believes his movie is unique from "Die Hard" despite the consistent comparisons.

"To be honest, I didn't take any inspiration from ‘Die Hard,’ which, by the way, I loved," Campbell, who also directed the 2006 James Bond movie "Casino Royale," told Fox News Digital. In recent years, environmental activists around the world have disrupted conferences, concerts, performances, major athletic events and more in order to bring awareness to their cause. Just Stop Oil protesters have made a habit of throwing ink on priceless paintings or, more recently, disrupting a performance of William Shakespeare’s "The Tempest" featuring actress Sigourney Weaver.
