Bruce Willis has announced that he will once again be starring as John McClane. The 58-year-old actor said that filming for the fifth installment of Die Hard will be filmed in Russia and will formerly be called A Good Day To Die Hard. I guess four installments of Die Hard just aren’t enough. This time the movie will have an international setting.

All we can say is — Yippee ki yay!

Bruce Willis, 56, will reprise his best-known character, John McClane, in Die Hard 5, RadarOnline.com is reporting.

This latest incarnation — called A Good Day To Die Hard — will focus on Willis’ character and his son as they get involved in a prison escape in Russia.

“Since the first Die Hard in 1988, John McClane has found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, with the skills and attitude to always be the last man standing, making him enemy number one for terrorists the world over,” 20th Century Fox revealed in a statement.

“Now, McClane faces 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.”

Die Hard 5 is slated to begin filming in Russia in January 2012 with John Moore directing; it’s expected to hit theaters in 2013.

The first Die Hard movie was released in 1988.

(Fun Fact: Bruce Willis was born Walter Bruce Willis on March 19, 1955 in Idar-Oberstein, West Germany. His mother, Marlene was German, and his father, David Willis, was an American soldier.)
