After a global casting search for many months now, Twentieth Century Fox has finally announced that actor Jai Courney has landed the coveted role of John McClane's (Bruce Willis) estranged son, Jack in A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD ( that's a fifth DIE HARD movie, if you are counting). Check out Jai Courtney's screen test with Bruce Willis, as well as the movie's official press release below.
Following a global casting search spanning several months, Jai Courtney has nabbed the coveted role of John (Jack) McClane, Jr., the son of Bruce Willis' iconic action hero, in A Good Day to Die Hard.
A Good Day to Die Hard puts McClane on an international stage - truly a NYC fish out of water in Moscow - and introduces his estranged son Jack. An apple that has not fallen far from the tree, Jack may even be more of a hardass than his father. Despite their differences, they must work together to keep each other alive - and the world safe for democracy.
The film begins production this April, for a February 14, 2013 release.
