Fox confirmed a casting rumor that we reported on August 3rd, Justin Long has been cast as John McClane's tech-boy sidekick in Live Free or Die Hard. This role shouldn't be too much of a stetch for Long who has been appearing in a series of commercials as a Mac computer.

Bruce Willis will once again be sporting the bloody bare feet of McClane and it wasn't immediately known if the sidekick played by Long would be McClane's son as has been rumored for quite a while now.

Maggie Q, of Mission: Impossible III fame has also been added to the cast. Live Free or Die Hard is set for a Fourth of July weekend opening next year.
