Emmerich To Take The ‘White House Down’

Roland Emmerich is in talks to direct the action drama White House Down according to Deadline.


James Vanderbilt wrote the script that sees a paramilitary takeover of The White House

Sony Pictures paid $3 million for the script, the highest amount for a spec script sale so far this year.

Emmerich, Vanderbilt, Harald Kloser, Bradley Fischer and Laeta Kalogridis will produce.

Production hopes to kick off this Fall.

Is it me--or does this project emulate another new action-adventure film Olympus Has Fallen poised to star Gerard Butler?
