First Trailer and Poster for OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN Starring Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, & Aaron Eckhart
The first trailer for Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming White House action flick ‘Olympus Has Fallen’ has been released. The film centers on a disgraced former Presidential guard who finds himself trapped in the White House when it is captured by a terrorist mastermind. Excuse me while I put on ‘Shooter’ and forget I ever watched this. I really like the talent involved here and I’m especially thankful Butler has stepped away from the rom-com genre for a quick second, but I’m completely thrown off by the cheesy dialogue and cheap special effects that plague this trailer.
When the White House (Secret Service Code: “Olympus”) is captured by a terrorist mastermind and the President is kidnapped, disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped within the building. As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning’s inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President, and avert an even bigger disaster.
Aaron Eckhart, Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman, Dylan McDermott and Angela Bassett star. Olympus Has Fallen opens on March 22nd.
