DIE HARD 5: Titled A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD, Plot Details

Die Hard 5 will be titled A Good Day to Die Hard. John Moore‘s A Good Day to Die Hard (2012) was announced on Jim Rome co-chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fox Filmed Entertainment Tom Rothman. Apparently a large amount of the film will not be in the United States and instead of John McClane (Bruce Willis)’s daughter Lucy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), like in Live Free or Die Hard, A Good Day to Die Hard will involve his son.

Die Hard 5 (A Good Day to Die Hard) film and plot details:

• Die Hard 5 will be titled A Good Day to Die Hard
• Shooting begins in January 2012
• The sequel will be released on February 14th, 2013 (Valentine’s Day).
• The story is set in Russia and begins with John McClane heading to Moscow to sweet talk some cops into letting his apparently-wayward son out of jail for something he did, but when he gets there, things surrounding his son’s arrest are not as they appear and world-threatening terrorist hijinks ensue.
• McClane, Jr. has yet to be cast.
• They still don’t know if it will be rated PG-13 or R.

• John Moore (Max Payne, The Omen, Behind Enemy Lines) was chosen by Willis to direct.
• Skip Woods (Swordfish, Hitman,  X-Men Origins: Wolverine,  A-Team) wrote the screenplay.
• Bruce Willis has said that it would have to expand in scope and go “worldwide”. Willis has  said that the series needs to expand in scope. The original film had John McClane “trapped in a building”, in Die Harder he was “trapped in an airport”, Die Hard With a Vengeance expanded the scope to “New York City” and Live Free or Die Hard expanded the threat to the United States. So as you might have guessed it, Willis says the fifth film would have to go further: “Well it’s got to go worldwide.”
• Mary Elizabeth Winstead has recently said that she doesn’t expect to return for Die Hard 5 as John’s daughter Lucy Gennaro McClane.
