This shit is dumb as hell, but hey if I wasn't entertained. Rent this shit. Fuqua does a decent job doing what essentially should've been Die Hard 4 & 5. This has a really solid cast that gives in decent performances (Freeman, Bassett, Forester, Cole Hauser, Radha Mitchell, Rick Yune, Melissa Leo, Aaron Eckhart) and I haven't liked Butler in anything for a while (he's a producer too). Oh and this movie gets high marks cause Ashley Judd dies in the first 10 minutes.

>Ashley Judd dies in the first 10 minutes.

I don't even care about the spoiler. I didn't even know she was in it until those pics popped up of her in that blue dress at the premier. It didn't look good before but now I'll certainly skip it. She's bout it.

After she said rap music is rape culture and anyone associated with it is a rapist, that bitch can die a horrible death.

>associated with it is a rapist

You aint gotta lie to hate her

Here's the direct quote:

As far as I’m concerned, most rap and hip-hop music—with its rape culture and insanely abusive lyrics and depictions of girls and women as ‘ho’s'—is the contemporary soundtrack of misogyny

I hadn't heard about this before so thanks for pointing it out. It's misguided for sure but I'm not a big fan of most of that specific rap/hip-hop music either. If she still feels this way I'll gladly show her the good stuff she's missing out on.

TRUTH!

I saw it! It was right after they talked about a guy who had his kidneys stolen at a party.

i thought it was good, but damn every dude he shot he seemed to put one in the dome while casually walking away. he made sure everyone stayed dead.

Damn they took Olympus down in 13 minutes. I was mad about that shit. I needed the Secretary of State to say he hit like a bitch.

but Angela Bassett, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart, Rick Yune, Melissa Leo and Radha Mitchell, Ashley Judd and Cole Hauser *ALL* in the same movie?

Antoine Fuqua directing it?

Angela Bassett serving the kids in some cray ass, futurism inspired, light brown Grace Jones deconstructed reverse faux hawk hairdo/wig?

I'm *SO IN*

Gerard ain't been shit for years...talk about someone who needs a career reinvention...

and damn, he's *NOT* aging well. I had no idea Hollywood let haggard ass leading White men run to and fro on the silver screen....

you cray as hell, because trailers for this have been out, posters, tv commercials, don't do that.

most of the cast was doing the talk show circuit...

once again, don't do that. smh

>who/where did they market this to? this shit is stunning.

red blooded americans, middle america, the 18-34 male demographic, the 18-49 demo, women because of Gerard Butler, etc.

it worked...just liked how THE CALL was marketed to woman and black folks and it came out swinging at the box office, this did too.

the other let's take the white house hostage and have some fallen from grace secret service type agent save the day, WHITE HOUSE DOWN, starring Channing Tatum and Jaime Foxx, better be DIFFERENT and ORIGINAL as hell, cause i think Gerard's movie just destroyed whatever chance they had of making any money when it comes out in a couple of months...

That shit better have Tatum and Foxx shirtless, oiled up, and wrestling, cuz the target action filmgoing male will see Tatum plus Foxx plus PG-13 and pass. Go for women, teens, and gays? Maybe feature Foxx heavily in the trailer and go for the black audience?

Or, more realistically, that trailer better have the best Emmerich destruction this side of 2012. Cuz, um, OLYMPUS brought the heavy duty destruction PLUS the blood and the F-bombs.

Men like serious ass kicking in movies like this, and that's a big part of why Olympus worked so well. That shit with the two laughing Koreans? That's what the fellas want to see.

That's PG 13 might be the kiss of death here.

go for gays? hunh? are you serious?

real talk, gays have never been a "movie going" force...at all. never.

don't believe otherwise...you may get pockets of white gays from Weho and Chelsea going to see channing and (on the low), Foxx but we don't make *THAT* much of an audience.

it's PG-13...Roland Emmerich...i don't think i've ever seen him do an R rated movie....

so, they better promote to women, teens and black folks...

I just mean this film likely will need to promote to every quadrant and audience hardcore, because their core audience was likely satiated by Olympus and might not be hungry for the PG-13 Round 2.

that's fine...but people underestimate gay men as a viewing audience...

lol

plus its PG-13...which means they really aren't about that Olympus Has Fallen, body count life...

Gerard Butler and his smushed by a brick face, Angela Bassett and her deconstructed, brassy Grace Jones wig, etc. FOR THE WIN!

WIN!

It's also jam packed in the middle of summer so the trailer better look amazing because it could easily be the film that gets lost in the shuffle.

..esp the die hard reference

boring, but fuqua still shows that he knows how to film destruction & peril.

the plot is so terribly flawed that there's no point in discusion. its hilarious watching hollywood scramble to create new bad guys.

"..i was born a free man. nobody beat me 'cept i beat them right back..."

..and miles to go before i sleep...

was it the most original thing ever? no. but it had the right balance of sentimentality without ever being cheesy, some beast ass action sequences, and "realistic" enough scenarios in that at least Banning had intimate working knowledge of the White House and wasn't just "winging" shit. Although the notion that all the passwords and access codes hadn't changed was a bit far fetched but hey.

i think it was better than Iron Man 3. More focused and better paced, and I liked IM3.

Best part ****spoilers***

At the end they walk out of the White House and bodies and brains are splattered all over the place. Lol

This year’s battle of the White House actioners did not play out as most expected. Director Roland Emmerich’s Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx-fronted White House Down was supposed to be a massive summer hit, but instead the film only managed to gross $73 million domestically. March’s Olympus Has Fallen, however, was a surprise success, taking in $161 million worldwide against a significantly smaller budget than Emmerich’s pic. Now it’s the Gerard Butler film that has franchise potential, as the newly restructured Focus Features (which recently absorbed FilmDistrict) is moving forward with an Olympus Has Fallen sequel called London Has Fallen. Hit the jump for more, including which actors will be back.

Screen Daily reports that Millennium Films is producing and financing London Has Fallen, with Focus Features onboard to distribute the film in the U.S. Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, and Radha Mitchell will reprise their roles from the first film, with the story now revolving around a plot to strike London during the funeral of the British Prime Minister. It is unlikely that Antoine Fuqua will return to direct given that a May 2014 production start date for London Has Fallen is being eyed. Fuqua is currently busy with post-production on the Denzel Washington thriller The Equalizer, which opens next September.

While White House Down outgrossed Olympus Has Fallen in the global marketplace (it took in $204 million), the Sony pic carried much larger expectations given its pedigree and $150 million budget. Audiences instead sparked to the graphically violent Olympus Has Fallen (always with the knife-into-head move), and it’ll be interesting to see if the success can be repeated with London Has Fallen. Katrin Benedikt and Creighton Rothenberger will return to pen the screenplay, and producers are currently out to directors.

1) Was this Gerad Butler's "Die Hard?" I think using the same title is corny, but sure I'll prolly fucks with it again, depending on the previews.

2) OHF beat WHD for two simple reasons: a) it came out first b) it had better lead actors. Both of them I imagine were over the top violence shoot em outs, but after seeing OHF I didn't care about WHD.
