It could begin filming next year, according to Bruce Willis.
They have a writer.
This doesn't fill me with optimism. Granted, I was pessimistic about the fourth film, which I ended up liking a lot, but that was based on the third film, and not any member of the creative staff. This Skip Woods guy wrote Swordfish and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, both of which blew chunks. He also wrote Hitman and The A-Team, neither of which I've seen, but the former has a 14% rating at Rotten Tomatoes, and didn't turn a huge profit (though it did make one), and the latter...well, let's see.
What will its suntitle be I wonder? Die Hard with a zimmer frame?
suBtitle, of course...
I really liked Swordfish. It was a very unrealistic depiction of hacking but did feature John Travolta chewing up scenery, Hallie Berry's bare breasts & a computer geek as the main hero; what's not to like?
Here's a suggested title: Die Hard with Viagra.
Yeah, because when you look at Hugh Jackman, the first thing you think of is "Computer geek".
We have a title, and a release date.
Me, I think it sounds like an embarrassing way to die, and an awkward inconvenience for the funeral director and the deceased's attending loved ones.
From the linked article: Fox announced that the fifth entry in the series will be called "A Good Day to Die Hard" and is set for release on February 14, 2013.

That's a kind of odd release date, seeing that the previous four Die Hard movies were released in the early to mid-summertime. Also, I'm hoping that Willis' McClane borrows from Danny Glover's Murtaugh, and says "I'm too old for this s**t" at least once. 
And he may be; his 57th birthday is in March 2012. (Jeez, he's four months younger than I am.)
Will Michael Dorn (Mr. Worf) be in it? It sounds like they need a Klingon for this move.
I ment to say "movie" instead of "move". Sorry.
Trailer.
I think it might be the international trailer, given the date formatting of the release date title card near the end of the trailer.
Review from the "Daily News". The critic isn't very kind to the flick, nor to Willis. Also, the running time is only 97 minutes. The shortest by far of all five Die Hard flicks.
McClane should die in the next one, if there's a next one, a good hero's death to properly conclude the series.
Another opinion, this time from the always reliable Ed Harris at "The Agony Booth".
In this movie's trailer, which kicks off the Skyfall Blu-Ray, McClane's son says to him "We're not a hugging family". McClane says back to him "D*mn straight". I guess he forgot that at the end of Die Hard, McClane laid a big hug on Al Powell.
DVD and Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack his stores June 4. More here. Also, the bare-bones run time will stay that way; no outtake will be added.
..The bare-bones run time will stay that way; no outtake will be added.
That wasn't quite the case. The Blu-Ray has both the theatrical and an expanded version. The "expanded version" adds about three minutes to the run time. And, for some reason, it drops the scene in the theatrical version (that was seen in the trailer) when McClane is conferring with his daughter Lucy in the car, before being dropped off at the airport. There are also 14 minutes of deleted scenes on the Blu-Ray.
Whe McClane is at the firing practice range, he's not wearing ear muffs. Shouldn't he be doing so, to protect his hearing? Especially that he's now getting up there in age.
In the next Die Hard movie, as Willis is approaching seventy, McLane uses his new walker to attack a member of the Gruber family. Even though "Hans Gruber" was a fake name, this is still not pointed out.
