It might have the worst title since Judy Moody And The Not Bummer Summer, but finally we have some good news regarding A Good Day To Die Hard.

The always awesome Paul Walker has been named as one of the contenders to play John McClane's son, alongside some more leftfield choices.

Ben Foster, Paul Dano, Aaron Paul and Milo Ventimiglia are all said to be meeting with Bruce Willis next week to try out for the part.

  • Christian Bale in The Dark Knight Christian Bale promises Heat 2 will be "something great", and he came close to working with Leonardo DiCaprio before

That list of actors makes us think that John's relationship with his son is going to be, how shall we put it, 'complicated.'

Aaron Paul is best known for playing a drug dealer in Breaking Bad , Paul Dano's character descriptions are normally followed by the word 'weaselly,' Ben Foster's carved out a career playing edgy anti-heroes and Milo Ventimiglia played someone called Rick Rape in Gamer .

Which happens to be the worst character name since… Well, ever. Perhaps it's how he made the shortlist.

Of that lot, Paul Walker is the odd one out - not least because he's the oldest - but definitely our favourite.

But as long as it's not Shia LaBeouf (sorry Shia, we still haven't quite forgiven you for Crystal Skull ), we'll be happy.
