White House Down

[TheVileOne]

Because it happened?

 

[-JKR-]

Because once someone is involved with a 'geek movie' (read: a movie based on material which has a fanbase) and it doesn't turn out to be good, said someone becomes a hack (is it a coincidence that of all of Emmerich's movies you mentioned - once again - a 'geek movie'?). Is Channing Tatum one of the best actors around? Of course not, but with 21 Jump Street he showed there's talent and charisma to him.

 

[TheVileOne]

I disagree, and I saw 21 Jump Street.

 

[-JKR-]

I agree that we disagree.

 

[Project862006]

yeah gonna disagree with TVO here tatum was awesome in 21 jump street

 

[culver3vlr22]

He's was the 2nd funniest part of 21JS. You can't deny that he showed the talent he has now if he goes back to was he was before 21JS than yea ill say he's a hack but after that movie I have to give him a chance. Trust me I don't I wanna hate tatum, but he made me laugh(ALOT) and still makes me laugh from 21. But that's just me that's why movies aren't sports.

re: Tatum - I really changed my opinion this year. He was very likeable in The Vow, very "down-to-earth" in Magic Mike and 21 Jump Street is the best movie of this year for me! Plus Emmerich, supporting actors, funny scvript with this 90s-like premise... Yeah, just can't wait!

Yeah, they're giving Jamie an Obama vibe.

Vanderbilt's script is really entertaining. Will be a great movie.

Now that is how you do a teaser for something like this. You know they just took a camera shot on the Mall and decided to use it, which is very clever as opposed to Photoshop.

Emmerich movies always have great teaser posters.

 

[dark_b]

i guess they didnt realese a trailer because they waited until the first movei was realesed so that they didnt confuse people.

on the other side this is an Emerich movie and its going to be big. maybe they didnt have enough effects for the trailer.

I think there was still some since that lady in white in the lower right has her shadow going in a different direction.

Good luck on this being better than Olympus Has Fallen. That was fantastic

Or the tiny layer of extra legs they forgot to cut out at the top of the steps.

I've got the script and will be giving a full or brief run-down on Wednesday, after I read it, on how they compare.

I wasn't sure if those were supposed to be bags or something.

It's not that great.

So now we're getting the trend of White House movies it seems.

Interesting approach to the teaser poster campaign.

You're not that great.

I KNOW!!!!

Usually the second, bigger film of the same theme wins out at the box office in the end but every once in a while the first does better. So who will win in the Olympus Has Fallen/White House Down box office throwdown?

Tombstone/Wyatt Earp, Dante's Peak/Volcano, Deep Impact/Armageddon, Antz/A Bug's Life, Mirror Mirror/Snow White and the Huntsman
