Long doing 'Die Hard'

Thesp to co-star with Willis in fourth installment

Justin Long has been set to co-star with Bruce Willis in "Live Free or Die Hard," the fourth installment in the John McClane franchise. Maggie Q is also in negotiations to join the film, which begins shooting this month. Fox will release the film in June.

Long plays a computer-savvy accomplice who helps McClane take on a terrorist organization around the July Fourth holiday.

Len Wiseman is directing a script by Mark Bomback.

Long most recently starred in the Steve Pink-directed comedy "Accepted," while Hong Kong action star Q appeared in "Mission: Impossible 3" and recently completed the Rogue comedy "Balls of Fury" alongside Dan Fogler and Christopher Walken.

Arnold Rifkin produces with Willis and John McTiernan.
