The first explosive trailer for the fifth Die Hard movie, titled A Good Day to Die Hard, has been released. Expect to see the trailer start to run in theaters tomorrow, but for those of us online and eager  to see what a 57-year-old John McClane (Bruce Willis to the rest of us) looks like 'sploding things up, here it is.

 Yup, Willis has just one line of dialogue in the A Good Day to Die Hard trailer but hey, it's a 007 year and the line piggybacks nicely into the Skyfall marketing hype.

A Good Day to Die Hard is slated to open on February 14, 2013. Along with Bruce Willis the sequel stars Jai Courtney as John McClane Jr.; Cole Hauser; Sebastian Kosh; Amaury Nolasco; Julia Snigir; Anne Vyalitsyna and a cameo appearance by Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

There will be at least a cameo appearance by Live Free or Die Hard co-star Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the fifth Die Hard movie. The actress who played Lucy McClane in the fourth film in the series was spotted last weekend filming a scene with Bruce Willis.

The pair were filming a scene where the elder McClane is emerging from a car driven by Lucy, dropping her father off at an airport. Moviehole theorizes that this could be a moment near the start of the new Die Hard where John McClane is preparing to fly off to Russia to visit his son Jack.

Cole Hauser (Pitch Black, Tears of the Sun) will play a villain named Collins in the movie.

Sebastian Koch and Yulia Snigir will play villains named Komorov and Irina in A Good Day to Die Hard. Koch starred opposite Liam Neeson in Unknown while Snigir is a Russian-born model who is making his movie debut.

Filming on the fifth Die Hard is scheduled to commence next month.

20th Century Fox has announced a title, synopsis and a release date for the fifth Die Hard movie.

A Good Day to Die Hard sees detective John McClane facing "his greatest challenge ever, this time on an international stage, when his estranged son Jack is caught up in the daring prison escape of a rogue Russian leader, and father and son McClane must work together to keep each other alive and keep the world safe for democracy."

A Good Day to Die Hard will be released in North American theaters on February 14, 2013.

John Moore is apparently in negotiations to direct the fifth Die Hard movie, or so states Deadline. Moore is a filmmaker who's very well known at Fox after having made Max Payne, Behind Enemy Lines and the remakes of The Omen and Flight of the Phoenix for them. Fox wants to make Die Hard 5 on a budget of $100 million and film it in Russia.

Director Noam Murro is being hired to direct the fifth Die Hard movie, reports the online trade magazine Deadline. He's got just one feature film to his credit, the Sarah Jessica Parker vehicle Smart People, but according to the site what attracted the interest of Fox was Murro's commercials for Halo: Reach. The best-selling video game was released last fall and Murro directed all of the commercials leading up to the game's release.

Fox has still to reach an agreement with series star Bruce Willis but that shouldn't be terribly hard since he's indicated that he's up for at least two more Die Hard movies.

Here is one of the Halo: Reach commercials that Murro did for Microsoft:

At a press event for Red, his upcoming new action/thriller, Bruce Willis gave the latest news on the fifth Die Hard movie. While he clarified an earlier comment from this past summer that the movie's start of production was "imminent," Willis did say that "We have a script. They're making a couple changes right now," and It's probably going to happen in 2011." 

In what is the strongest indication yet that Die Hard 5 is gonna happen, Bruce Willis told MTV that "the coin is about to fall into the slot," and that an announcement concerning the sequel is "imminent." Check it out for yourself:

Ain't It Cool News has learned that Die Hard 24/7 is one of the possible titles that the studio is considering.

Swordfish and Hitman screenwriter Skip Woods is talking it out with his agent and Fox for the job of writing John McClane's next Die Hard adventure. Woods has a relationship with the studio, having taken writing job for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, next month's The A-Team and the aforementioned Hitman.

Bruce Willis was out plugging Cop Out, his latest film, when he was asked by MTV what the dealio was on another Die Hard movie. Bruno's reply? "I think we're going to do a Die Hard 5 next year."

Willis also said that he would like to see the next chapter take John McClane out on a global scale and that he would return in a heartbeat if director Len Wiseman was back calling the shots.
