McDermott Protects The POTUS When "Olympus" Falls

Dylan McDermott will play a Secret Service agent in the actioner "Olympus Has Fallen" says Variety.


Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt wrote the script about a Secret Service agent (Gerard Butler) who becomes America's only hope when the The White House is taken over by terrorists.

Angela Bassett will play the head of the Secret Service protecting Aaron Eckhart ("The Dark Knight") who has been cast as the U.S. President

Antoine Fuqua's calling action

Production kicks off in September.

McDermott had a similar role in the 1993 thriller In the Line of Fire.

Fallen is not to be confused with a rival project with the similar action-thriller White House Down.
