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... :|

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.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.

      Was it the way the cars handled in 4? or was it the choices you had to make?

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Parallax Abstraction · Posted

      I understand the position Valve is in with hardware pricing thanks to the AI bubble, but as others have said, this is DOA at this price point. There's no world in which a machine at that performance level is worth that price. My girlfriend's a console gamer and after meeting me, wanted to try PC but wanted something she could use on her TV with a controller. The Steam Machine is basically tailor made for her, but only at what it would have cost before the hardware crisis. I took my old Lenovo Legion laptop with a Ryzen 5800H and a 3060 Mobile 8GB, put Bazzite on it and it does the same thing with the games she's interested in very well. She still likes the Steam Machine, but won't be touching it until component prices are back in the sane range. I know Valve isn't a charity, but I don't know why they're not willing to at least partially subsidize this device or even take a loss on it during the component crisis, just to build some market share. Then again, the Steam Deck is also a complete ripoff at its current price and they can barely keep them in stock so...
