Olympus Has Fallen

Trailer: Olympus Has Fallen - Film District

"Die Hard" in the White House! Or, the battle of the White-House-under-siege movies! Either way, "Olympus Has Fallen" takes the lead over Roland Emmerich's summer release "White House Down." Here, it's Gerard Butler vs. thugs who have taken the White House and the President hostage. As you can imagine, it's one guy against terrorists!

Antoine Fuqua, who directed "Training Day," has had a rocky career ever since. This might be his chance to regain action credibility. The trailer looks good, but definitely completely serious. No "Die Hard" one liners here! Lots of good actors are on board, including Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman. My guess is that this movie is going to turn out better than the rival Emmerich project, which has the not-very-inspiring casting of Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx as the Prez!

"Olympus Has Fallen" is being released by Film District on March 22.
