Now You See Me Sequel In The Works
Did you enjoy Now You See Me? We did. Good news then, The Hollywood Reporter reports that a sequel is in the works, with production to start next year. The $75 million movie has already brought in $235 million so far, more than both The Lone Ranger and White House Down.
Rob’s Review: White House Down
Letter Grade:
A |
The Good: Emmerich delivers great action The Bad: CGI is overused and noticeable |
Cast & Crew: Writer: James Vanderbilt Rated PG-13 for prolonged sequences of action and violence including intense gunfire and explosions, some language and a brief sexual image. |
If you see only one “the White house is taken over by terrorists and one bodyguard must single-handedly rescue a child and the President” movie this year, make it White House Down. I find that after seeing White House Down I’ve gone back in my head and retroactively downgraded Olympus Has Fallen. I think White House Down has a more believable scenario for the White House being attacked, and the way White House Down structured the action led to a much more interesting movie.
Channing Tatum is with the Capitol Police and guards the Speaker of the House(Richard Jenkins) and is at the White House interviewing for a position with the White House’s Secret Service detail (which is lead by James Woods and Maggie Gyllenhaal). Tatum doesn’t get the job, but his daughter (Joey King), who idolizes the President(Jamie Foxx), is with him, so afterwards they go on the White House tour. While on the tour the White House is invaded by terrorists and the regular guards are taken out, leaving Tatum alone to get his daughter out and also rescue the President. (more…)
New Trailer: White House Down
New trailer for White House Down today. The first 3/4 of the trailer is actually pretty good, then it goes into action mode and I think things fell apart a little.
A federal law enforcement officer (Channing Tatum) must protect the president (Jamie Foxx) when a heavily armed group of paramilitary invaders attacks the White House. I tried to make this synopsis as generic as possible so if they release yet another “White House is attacked” movie this year I can just change the names. The Armageddon to Olympus Has Fallen’s Deep Impact, Roland Emmerich directs and James Woods, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Richard Jenkins also star. White House Down hits the big screen June 28th.
