Production[]
On May 5, 2010, it was announced that X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The A-Team writer Skip Woods was in negotiations to script a fifth Die Hard movie, and that the film would be produced by Alex Young. Bruce Willis again returned as John McClane, and Willis said that he would've liked to see Live Free or Die Hard director Len Wiseman return, and even wished to see the story take place outside of the United States, with a tentative title of Die Hard 24/7.
On October 5, 2010, during an MTV interview, Willis announced that a first draft of the script was finished and that shooting would begin in 2011. Regarding a possible Die Hard 6, Bruce Willis told ShowbizSpy, "for me, I want to do Die Hard 5, then one final Die Hard movie—Die Hard 6—before finally hanging that white vest up for good". Noam Murro was set to direct the film scripted by Woods and continue to develop the script, but he left to direct the 300 prequel 300: Battle of Artemisia instead. Irish-born director John Moore then signed on to direct. The film was said to involve John McClane and his son heading to Russia.
On October 13, 2011, the studio announced exclusively on The Jim Rome Show that the film would be called A Good Day to Die Hard and would be released on Valentine's Day 2013. On the same day, sources at 20th Century Fox indicated that Patrick Stewart was under strong consideration for the film's main villain, a disgraced Russian general who plots the assassination of the visiting U.S. President. The studio was looking at Liam Hemsworth, Aaron Paul, James Badge Dale, and D.J. Cotrona for the part of John McClane Jr. in the film.
