I haven't seen Olympus Has Fallen yet, but it's definitely on my list and looks like a decent action thriller. It certainly did better than White House Down and got better reviews. Plus despite taling off in the last few years I'm still a big fan of Gerard Butler and hey, its got Morgan Freeman in it!
Apparently the $160 million the film made worldwide was enought to garner a sequel. "Screen Daily" reports taht Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart, Radha Mitchell, and Angela Bassett will return for the sequel, London Has Fallen. Can't say I'm sold on the title* but it's nice to know all the principles will be back, although no word yet on if director Antoine Fuqua will return. The plot involves a plan to strike the city during the funeral of the British Prime Minister.
London Has Fallen will begin shooting next year and more than likely will shoot for a spring 2015 release.
*Director Edgar Wright tweeted that London Has Fallen should be renamed London Bridge is Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down. Ah those British. So cheeky.
