The fifth installment of the blockbuster franchise is reportedly going to be set in Russia. The plot will involve McClane and his son who get "drawn into a conflict with local forces".
Noam Murro was originally set to direct the film, but with his other commitment "300: Battle of Artemisia", he had to step away. John Moore is said to have been offered the role of director for the film, but there is no word yet on any decision on his part.
