Now in production in Hungary, John Moore's A Good Day to Die Hard is set to feature the return of Bruce Willis as John McClane, pairing him with Jai Courtney as his son, Jack. Today, a cameo appearance by a third member of the McClane family has been revealed thanks to extra Ted Cross (via Bleeding Cool).

"I got to work with Bruce Willis again, which is always nice," Cross posted on his blog about working on the set, "The best, though, was that I got to work with Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who plays Willis' daughter."

Winstead originally played Lucy Gennaro McClane in 2007's Live Free or Die Hard. It's currently unclear how much of a part she has in the new film, though Cross notes that the scene he shot today is towards the end of the story.

I don't think anything will ever beat the brilliance of the first movie... :|

yeah the first movies are always awesome, but I have enjoyed all the series and look forward to the new ones but Brucie is getting to old for this! :D

Why not? The last one is great. I honestly think this series gets better with each movie. Not sure about the whole son thing though, not entirely sure they've ever mentioned him having a son.

They never mentioned his having a DAUGHTER until #4.

And it's actually somewhat understandable; remember, he has an on-again/off-again relationship with his now-again-ex - messy divorces (and neither divorce was exactly *clean*) tend to leave a lot undiscussed.

Both his "son and daughter" were in the first movie. Lucy McClane and John Jr.

Lolz, it's like people haven't watched the first movie or can't remember it at all. His kids are shown and talked about often in the first movie, and also his daughter even has a line and it plays a key role in the first movies plot. How can you guys forget this????

Die Hard 6: Just Die Already

(As much as I've enjoyed the series, they need to give it a rest.)

Die Hard is one of the few movies that made it to 5 and will still be good. batman made it to 2 (rises sucked), spiderman made 3 before being rebooted. Superman keeps getting rebooted after every 1 (not including original poo for superman and batman).

Name a movie that made 4 and was good all 4.

Dr No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, etc. :)

But you know, Die Hard is kind of like Lethal Weapon. Were they the greatest movies of all time? No. But they were great popcorn movies, sit back and watch the action you know.

The plot, as we have all learned, featured McClane traveling to Russia to be with his son. So what?s going on with his son? What I?m being told is the son of John McClane, Jack, (played by Jai Courtney) is in fact an undercover CIA Operative. Cringe if you will, but this is slightly hinted at in the first teaser trailer released in September where Bruce Willis? McClane says the line ? The 007 0f Plainfield, New Jersey.? This is referring to where the McClane / Gennaro family originally hail from, the city of Plainfield, NJ and McClane Jr being a secret agent, ala Bond 007.

CIA Agent Jack McClane meets his estranged father, the reluctant hero that is John McClane, in Moscow and who is apparently completely unaware how super-trained an agent his son actually is. Jack is so highly trained, that he?s deep undercover with Russian heavies who have their hands on some nukes, but once his cover is blown, both the younger and older McClanes are left with no alternative than to fend off Russian mobsters aplenty in unfamiliar territory.

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
