White House Down

[Pink Ranger]

I read it two years ago lol. But it was mainly about like a secret organization and the president being used as a puppet. I think. All I remember is that it was one of the most interesting scripts that I read. Really conspiracy founded, I remember that for sure.

Sounds like a documentary about Goldman Sachs.

Jamie Foxx Elected to White House Down

 

[THANOSRULES]

Ugh..not a fan

 

[DACrowe]

This title sounds like a season of 24 from a few years ago.

 

[protocida]

Maggie Gyllenhall is in negotiations for the lead female role.

 

[Nightmare]

Roland Emmerich? Ugh..

Heat Vision is reporting that Twilight star Rachelle Lefevre has joined both Roland Emmerich's White House Down and Gary Fleder's Homefront in supporting roles.

In White House Down, Lefevre will play the ex-wife of Channing Tatum, a Secret Service agent forced to save the White House. The film is shooting in Montreal and also stars Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Woods, Richard Jenkins and Joey King. It is scheduled to hit theaters on June 28, 2013.

Jamiee Foxx is an amazing choice for this. Great actor too. I had pictured Denzel actually from the script. But, Jamiee is awesome too. Really happy to see this getting off the ground and Emerich seems like the right director for it too.

First Look From EW

I don't like the cast but for some reason I'm still interested in this.

 

[TheVileOne]

Channing Tatum in this type of role is not going to work. He's not a good action hero lead. Keep him in his dancing flicks and romantic comedies.

 

[-JKR-]

Do you live in 2002 TheVileOne? You have quite a bit of catching up to do on Channing Tatum.

 

[Hunter Rider]

The concept of Die Hard in the White House is allowing me to attempt to overlook the director and hope Tatum is less wooden than he was in G.I. Joe, his supporting cast is certainly good.

 

[Destructus86]

Harrison Ford for president!

"Get off my lawn!!" *BAM!!*

No I don't. I know he's had several hits but that doesn't make him a believable action star. They tried that with GI JOE and it failed. They basically wrote him out of the sequel until his recent string of hits. The director and producer talked about how at first they were going in a completely new direction with GI JOE 2, Rock is the star now, blah blah blah.

What has Channing Tatum magically becomes this hardcore gritty actor and awesome action hero? No he hasn't. He was a terrible Duke.

And the director is Roland Emmerich . . . Godzilla 1998.

But Channing tatum is so funny in 21 Jump Street. So who knows I always felt just like you did until I seen 21 Jump Street. So ill give him a 2nd chance as an action star. The man as some talent...

 

[TheVileOne]

In your opinion. I didn't think he was that funny. I could hardly understand what he was saying most of the movie since he was so low key and mumbling most of his lines.

The movie doesn't make me believe he can channel Bruce Willis.

Studios tried to make Taylor Lautner the teenage Jason Bourne with Abduction. He was a huge hit with the Twilight crowd. Didn't work there either.

 

[TheVileOne]

edit.

 

[The Guard]

Action heroing isn't Tatum's weak point. Drama is. This doesn't exactly look like a drama.

 

[TheVileOne]

I think both are his weak points. The Eagle. GI JOE. Fighting.

 

[steintym]

I completely agree. The stars of this do nothing for me, but I'm still interested in the concept. Seems like a movie I'd definitely catch.

 

[TheVileOne]

I'm more interested in Olympus Has Fallen. Much better cast and director.

I think it's (as I believe it was HR who said it) the Die Hard aspect that's keeping me interested.

Why did I imagine you'd bring up G.I. Joe?
