Night Has Fallen (Fallen 4)

Are y'all ready for the "...Has Fallen" Cinematic and TV-Verse?


‘Angel Has Fallen’ Producer Alan Siegel: Expect More Sequels & Local Language Spin-Offs

Gerard Butler’s secret service agent Mike Banning isn’t retired yet. More features, and even local-language TV spin-offs, are being planned after the success of Angel Has Fallen, the franchise’s producer confirmed today.

Alan Siegel, the president and CEO of production and management outfit Alan Siegel Entertainment, said that the company is looking at a fourth, fifth and even sixth entry in the series, following a trilogy of global successes to date.

Speaking at the American Film Market’s finance conference, Siegel also added that the company is considering selling the franchise IP to international television for spin-offs that could star local actors, and in turn those actors could appear in the upcoming features.

“If we do it in India, the star of that could come into Angel Has Fallen 4. It could be a symbiotic relationship,” he said.

Alongside being Butler’s manager, Siegel also co-runs production company G-BASE with the actor.

Speaking on the same panel, Jeffrey Greenstein, President at Millennium Media, which produces and sells the franchise, discussed how they had pivoted the third entry in the series towards a more character-driven narrative.

“We looked at each other on the third one and we thought we couldn’t just blow up another city,” said Greenstein.

“This time. Maybe next one we will,” added Siegel.

The Has Fallen pics have grossed north of $500m at the global box office, and a big chunk of those receipts have come from international.

China was an important part of the release for the second film, 2016’s London Has Fallen, accounting for $52m of its $143m international gross.

Greenstein said that China is a major opportunity but has become increasingly difficult. The producers are still waiting to hear if Olympus Has Fallen will receive a release slot in the territory.

He highlighted that the franchise was classic AFM fare (star-led action) and that the pics were proof that the traditional pre-sales model isn’t dead.

Evidencing that point, Siegel noted that upcoming Gerard Butler thriller The Plane, which he is producing through his G-BASE banner, has been doing strong business at AFM this year.

Greenstein added that the wider market, even streaming platforms, were all after packages that were essentially theatrical in quality-terms.

“The market demands theatrical product, even Netflix wants the bigger, cast-driven things,” Greenstein commented, but added that the amount of money being offered outside of the indie space was making it increasingly challenging to secure big name actors.

“The numbers that Netflix, Amazon, Disney are able to offer are substantially higher than anyone can on the independent market,” he said. “Talent might have one slot a year where they can do an independent film, and they might want to go on holiday.”

If the Indian thing is legit and not just a "for example," lot of potentially exciting names. Just hope they go with someone a little older, not one of the newer kids who think hitting the gym is a substitute for an ability to actually act.

I really like these movies. I'd go see a fourth one, no question. But I'm not going to watch a TV show.

The international spinoffs thing sounds interesting, and like something that hasn't really been done before (at least on any kind of scale).

If Butler is in it then I'll see it. I don't need to see a spin off that's exploiting the series popularity by replacing the main lead with another actor (s). They did that with 24 and that sucked.

Butler will be the star of the main film series.

They're only talking about doing spin-off TV series in foreign countries and having the stars of those make cameos in future films.

This sounds excellent! I found the 'Fallen' films to be tightly produced and directed and seriously satisfying action thrillers without pretense. Bring on more Mike Banning!

[DJR662]

Did not like the third film at all.

If that's a sign of things to come regarding this franchise, then it would be better to stop as far as I'm concerned.

I know what you mean. Im indian but dont watch too many movies because of the amount of gym bunnies who think they are actors. They have zero screen presence whatsoever.

Im suprised this series is still going.

People want to see an 'R' rated action film starring someone who isn't over the hill like Arnold, Sly, Willis or a delusional semi-hasbeen like Seagal. Butler looks great in action and can actually act, his film 'The Vanishing' more than proving that. On a $40m budget, Angel Has Fallen has taken $130m, decent money in anyone's book.

Terrorists attack the sun. The only thing in their way? Mike Banning.

Gerard Butler Has Fallen

[steev210]

Terrorists orchestrate a global blackout to kidnap elected leaders from the richest nations on earth while under the cover of darkness seizing the banks of the very nations they govern.

Any interference or attempt to thwart their mission will result in the grisly execution of one elected official for every attempt.

I don't know...just my two cents.

Anyway, I hope Olympus and London get a U.S. 4K UHD release soon ny Sony and Universal!

[Guydowood]

I'm all for another 'Fallen' flick. They are what Die Hard 4, 5 & 6 should have been!

Olympus
London
Angel
Night

and a prediction on the 5th movie to be called Sky Has Fallen.....

[Monterey Jack]

Box Office Receipts Have Fallen.

[CyberpunkCentral]

Is this franchise really that decent? I've seen none of them because it looks like a poor man's Die Hard (sorry, fans), yet here we are with a fourth one.

They all suck.

Yeah I don't get it. They aren't exactly loved by by critics. Yet, again, it's successful enough to spawn all these sequels. Still curious, though.

I've enjoyed tremendously all of them so far, and Lionsgate do a good job of ensuring that, unlike the more recent entries in the Die Hard series (the first three which i think are great) they keep a tight hold on the budget.

[Monterey Jack]

It's probably mix of low budget + high foreign box office/home video sales that keeps this franchise generating new entries. It's certainly not the quality...
