We reported a while ago that it appeared that Justin Long (who I think is going to be a guy to watch over the next 5 years or so) was set to join the cast for Die hard 4 (I refuse to call it by that ridiculous title they’ve given it. It’s Die Hard 4). Well… looks like it’s a done deal.
The good folks over at Coming Soon give us the following:
Justin Long (Accepted) has been set to co-star with Bruce Willis in Live Free or Die Hard, the fourth installment in the John McClane franchise. Maggie Q (Mission: Impossible III) is also in talks to join the film, which begins shooting this month. Fox will release the film on June 29.
Long plays a computer-savvy accomplice who helps McClane take on a terrorist organization around the July Fourth holiday.
As I said before, I think this is a good move. I think Long will play really nicely of of Willis… he seems to find a decent chemistry with whoever he works with. I’m excited about the film… even with the bad title.
