Judge Dredd (1995) was darker, less goofy, and more serious, after the director hired two of his friends to rewrite Wisher's script, making it more comic book like, Wisher left the project. As a form of an apology, producer
Andrew G. Vajna offered Wisher the chance to rewrite the script for
Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), which was in production.
