As nice as it is, an answer posted 10 minutes after asking doesn't necessarily have to be the end of all wisdom. Though this answer provides a few poster images and mentions Willis' initial troubles with being taken as a serious actor, it neither confirms or denies there having been a poster without Willis on it. The film follows off-duty New York City Police Department officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) who is caught in a Los Angeles skyscraper during a Christmas Eve heist led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) at Nakatomi Plaza. It could also be that non-Bruce-Willis posters were sent out to newspapers by mistake and this was later retconned as producers being afraid of putting up his face. There is an episode of the docu-series The Movies That Made Us (a spin-off of The Toys That Made Us) that is about the making of "Die Hard".Some information and/or images in this header may be provided either partially or in full from The Movie Database.

With little help from the LAPD, wisecracking McClane sets out to single-handedly rescue the hostages and bring the bad guys down. At the end, McClane says "You got a warranty for this (Holly's watch, a gift from Nakatomi Corporation)?

It's not that he was excluded, but given he was only seen as the comedic character David Addison in Moonlighting the studio was possibly nervous about featuring Willis.Some of the middle floors were occupied by legal and administrative departments, so only empty floors were used for filming. Regarded as one of the great 80's action movies, and the favourite Christmas movie of a surprising number of people.

New York City policeman John McClane (Bruce Willis) is visiting his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia) and two daughters on Christmas Eve. He made action movies slick, smart and full of pace and wit while never letting up on the bullets, cars and bombs front.In the end though, Hans is a pure sociopath that even the audience is conned into sympathizing with. Willis, most famous at the time for the comic TV Series 'Moonlighting', made a perfect ordinary-man-in-an-extraordinary-situation action hero. Naturally, once the movie was a smash hit and Willis was liked by the audience, a new poster was hastily released that featured his likeness. Complete with a serialized certificate of authenticity and verifiable numbered hologram, this piece is a secure investment that will increase in value with age. But if the studio changed their mind and switched back to using Bruce-Willis-posters nationwide before the movie's wide release (July 15th), one has to wonder why?

His disposition is almost humanitarian and you would imagine him as quite a gentleman outside of the context of the crimes he commits in Die Hard's arc. CodyS Well, while the answer is certainly good, there's nothing that says this necessarily is the poster you've heard about and if there might not be more to the rumour your heard.

Given that the red-carpet premiere occurred on the evening of July 12th 1988, it seems that the producers have decided to include Bruce Willis after all sometime around July 13th. Although we know Hans is capable of vile acts, he actually sees those as merely means to a greater and somehow justifiable end.
