We like this. So should you. Bruce Willis is back at it again as everyone’s favorite anti-hero John McClane in the latest installment A Good Day to Die Hard. This time around he fights with the Russians and blows a lot of stuf up.

Plus, he’s accompanied by his son and even his daughter makes an appearance. Now if they could just get Holly back for this it might be really fun. Although, Bonnie Bedelia hasn’t aged quite as well as Willis so that might be an issue for some. Still, it would be fun to see her come back. All in the family and all that.

Anyway, here’s the trailer. Look for A Good Day to Die Hard to hit theaters on February 14, 2013. Yes, Valentine’s Day.

Trailer day continues with the first one from the upcoming Die Hard sequel, currently entitled A Good Day to Die Hard. In this one Bruce Willis’ John McClaine and his son John Jr. travel to Russia to battle the bad guys.

Have to say it, this one looks pretty fun. Check out the trailer after the break and let us know what you think.

Look for A Good Day to Die Hard in theaters on February 14, 2013.

After an arduous search for the actor who could play John McClane’s son in the newest installment of the Die Hard franchise, 20th Century Fox has finally settled on Jai Courtney.

Courtney is best known for playing Varro in the Starz series Spartacus: Blood And Sand. In the series, Courtney played a close friend and confidante of Spartacus until they were forced into a battle to the death. Courtney has had a bit of a big screen surge as he will next be seen starring opposite Tom Cruise in Paramount’s One Shot, the Christopher McQuarrie directed adaptation of the Lee Child bestseller. He is also attached to star opposite Aaron Eckhart in I, Frankenstein.

A Good Day To Die Hard, the fifth installment of the Die Hard franchise, puts McClane on unfamiliar ground, taking the hard-ass  New York City cop to the streets of Moscow. The flick introduces McClane’s estranged son Jack (Courtney). The McClane’s butt heads due to their similar personalities. Despite their differences, they must work together to keep each other alive and keep the world safe for democracy. This film positions Courtney to become a recurring character alongside Willis, and possibly take over for Willis as the lead as the sequels continue.

If you are a general movie fan (let’s be honest: if you’re here, you probably are) then you are probably aware how casting works for most films. Directors and producers seeks out the stars, or soon-to-be stars, that they really like for the roles and either build a film around them or make them work into their project.

But what if time and space folded in on itself, causing films like Inception and Drive to get made in the film era of Bela Lugosi and James Dean? Or if John Wayne actually got the part to play Superman instead of George Reeves?

These are questions that digital artist Peter Stults thought would be cool to explore, as he takes popular films and drops them into different eras and genres, with the farthest possible actors taking on the iconic roles.

After the jump, you can take a look at the whole slew of them, which include Sean Connery in The Fifth Element, Fritz Lang’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, and our personal favorite: Leonard Nimoy in Die Hard.

There you have it. The title for the fifth (and hopefully final) chapter in the Die Hard franchise will be A Good Day to Die Hard. Before you get up in geeky arms, remember how much everyone hated the title Live Free or Die Hard when it was first announced, and there were plenty of folks that enjoyed that flick.

We’re hoping that this next flick won’t be social commentary pitting John McClane against the internet, but from what we’re getting from SlashFilm, it looks like things are getting a bit international.

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.

Wait, McClane has a son now? Where was he when everything was going down in Live Free? Or maybe the studio just decided to give Mary Elizabeth Winstead a sex change since the last we checked in with the McClanes.

Yes folks, it’s that time again. Time for another exciting episode of your favorite podcast The Flickcast.

This week on the show Chris and Matt talk all things horror movies as well as other topics such as Tron Legacy, True Grit, holiday gifts and a whole lot more. Plus, as they always do, the boys made some more picks this week. However, we’re not going to tell you what they are, you’re just going to have to listen to find out.

No, not really. They are: Matt’s pick of the BBC series Hustle and the horror classic Poltergeist 3 and Chris’ pick of The Town, directed by and starring Ben Affleck and Die Hard featuring Bruce Willis and Snape himself, Alan Rickman.

As summer dies down with explosive fire power and spiritual journeys to other lands, I recall the glorious action fest that was The Expendables. In turns out Julia Roberts has nothing on protein packed men with a mission on their minds. My female counterparts have voiced their love of meaty men in droves and unexpectedly taken away business from Julia’s love fest. Nearly 40 percent of The Expendables‘ audience was women. X-Men Origins: Wolverine‘s audience raked them in as nearly 50 percent of the audience was female. It seems women have tired of the boys akin to Michael Cera and instead jones for something with a little more muscle. Stallone should have learned the key to Hugh Jackman’s success to driving women in throngs- taking off his shirt.

I hear Hugh gave up his lead in Avon Man to start his insane work-out to become the ferocious mutant once again. If you take months upon months to beef up like these 80‘s action legends did, you’d think they’d want to show it off. Plus, wasn’t it super hot in Louisiana and Brazil where The Expendables shot? It was like 100 degrees with 100 percent humidity. Stallone couldn’t have been the only one who was feeling the heat.  Take off those shirts and up your female movie-going audience to 51 percent.

Welcome to this week’s On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage this week. Let is know if we missed something interesting. Otherwise, on to the links!

• Remember that guy who reviewed the Star Wars movies? Well, he’s back and reviewing Star Trek now. Still funny.

• Old Spice spokesman Isaiah Mustafa wants to be Luke Cage so badly that he even did a photo shoot to show to studio executives. We think this needs to happen.

• Like fights? Of course you do. So, here’s five classic action hero fights that need to happen.

• Love Glee? Hate Glee? Seriously don’t give a crap either way? If you’re that first one, here’s a preview of next season. The rest of you go watch something else.

This week on The Flickcast, Matt and Chris fly solo again as they take on Conan’s last episode and the classy way he handles it as well as the casting of a different Conan in a reboot of Conan the Barbarian. In addition they also talk about the upcoming Powers TV series, The Goon going digital and the amazing success of Avatar. They also discuss some other topics including the new Fox show Human Target, Jackie Earle Haley’s career, Spactacus: Blood and Sand, the nature of modern movies and the greatness of Die Hard.

Chris and Matt also made more picks this week. Matt went with Swimming with Sharks, and Chris picked the cult classic Coogan’s Bluff starring Clint Easwood as a cowboy in the big city who teaches those city slickers a thing or two about justice.
