http://www.variety.com/article/VR111804 ... 7CFilmNewsTesting begins soon for Willis' 'Die Hard' son
Candidates include Ben Foster, Paul Dano, Aaron Paul, Milo Ventimiglia
After securing a director and locking down a Valentine's Day 2013 release date, Fox is ready to line up a young thesp alongside Bruce Willis for "A Good Day to Die Hard" -- and whoever wins the job could wind up carrying the lucrative franchise forward.
Multiple sources tell Variety that in the coming days, Willis will begin reading with actors for the role of John McClane's son, including Ben Foster, Paul Dano, Aaron Paul and Milo Ventimiglia. Though Dano and Foster have worked with Willis in the past, none of the thesps is said to have an inside track, and the part could wind up going to someone outside this group.
The studio had no comment on the casting process.
Fox and Willis have been trying to get the latest "Die Hard," directed by John Moore from a script by Skip Woods, off the ground for some time. After a handful of rewrites and the loss of its original director, Noam Murro, over scheduling conflicts, Fox and producer Alex Young seem to have the wheels in motion to get the film into production sometime in 2012.
Plot details are being kept under wraps -- except that it will be set in Russia, with McClane and son fighting some sort of threat.
As the pic clears obstacles to production, the role of McClane's son has been on the minds of most of the young actors in Hollywood. Insiders say it could open the door for someone to inherit the "Die Hard" franchise -- much like Jeremy Renner could wind up the new face of Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" series, or Shia LaBeouf in "Indiana Jones."
Given how much control Willis has over the property, the coming chem tests will be critical in determining who'll get the gig.by Skip Woods, off the ground for some time.

http://www.deadline.com/2011/11/die-har ... ur-actors/‘Die Hard’ Search For Bruce Willis’ Son Down To Four Actors
EXCLUSIVE: In the young actor category, a role to die for is John McClane Jr, the son of Bruce Willis’ indestructible cop character in A Good Day To Die Hard, which John Moore will direct in Russia early next year for 20th Century Fox.
I’m told the studio, Moore and Willis are down to these four actors for the role: Hunger Games’ Liam Hemsworth; Emmy-winning Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul (scheduling on his series could pose a problem); The Pacific star James Badge Dale; and D.J. Cotrona, who was a regular in the series Detroit 1-8-7 and is currently shooting G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation. The studio would not comment.
