"There's Been An Incursion" Olympus Has Fallen Peek

The first trailer for the action thriller "Olympus Has Fallen" has dropped today.

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 North Korean 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 Dylan McDermott will play a Secret Service agent. Radha Mitchell will play “Leah” the wife of Butler‘s. Cole Hauser will play a fellow Secret Service agent. Melissa Leo would portray a tough Secretary of Defense who cracks when tortured. Rick Yune plays the villain, a sociopathic North Korean posing as a South Korean ministerial aide. Ashley Judd will play the first lady, while Robert Forster will play a high-ranking General. Tory Kittles will play a member of the President’s security detail.

Antoine Fuqua called action,

Film District will release the film nationwide on  March 22nd 2013.-- nearly three months before Sony Pictures opens a rival project with the similar action-thriller White House Down on June 28, 2013.

This is the same scenario that occurred earlier this year with rival "Snow White" films "Mirror Mirror" and "Snow White and the Huntsman". The Difference: those films were aimed at entirely different audiences and showcased completely diff tones.
