London Has Fallen Reveals Plot Details as Production Begins

Principal photography has begun on Millennium Films’ and Focus Features’ London Has Fallen, the sequel to last year's hit Olympus Has Fallen.

Gerard Butler again stars as Secret Service agent Mike Banning, alongside Aaron Eckhart as the President of the United States. Also returning are Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman, as Vice President Trumbull, Academy Award nominee Angela Bassett, as Secret Service Director Lynne Jacobs, and Academy Award winner Melissa Leo as Defense Secretary Ruth McMillan. Babak Najafi (Snabba Cash II) directs the thriller from a screenplay by Creighton Rothenberger & Katrin Benedikt (Olympus Has Fallen), Christian Gudegast and Chad St. John.

The story begins in London, where the British Prime Minister has passed away under mysterious circumstances. His funeral is a must-attend event for leaders of the western world. However, what starts out as the most protected event on Earth turns into a deadly plot to kill the world's most powerful leaders, devastate every known landmark in the British capital, and unleash a terrifying vision of the future. Only three people have any hope of stopping it: the President of the United States, his formidable Secret Service head (Butler), and an English MI-6 agent who rightly trusts no one.

Reprising their roles in support are Academy Award nominee Robert Forster as General Edward Clegg, Sean O’Bryan as NSA Deputy Director Ray Monroe, and Radha Mitchell as Leah Banning. Joining the returning cast members are Academy Award nominee Jackie Earle Haley, Alon Aboutboul, Charlotte Riley, and Waleed Zuaiter.

London Has Fallen is being produced by Gerard Butler, Alan Siegel, John Thompson, Les Weldon, and Mark Gill. The executive producers are Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, Peter Schlessel, Matt O'Toole, Boaz Davidson, Heidi Jo Markel, Christine Crow, Zygi Kamasa and Guy Avshalom. Lonnie Ramati is co-executive producer. Peter Heslop is co-producer.
Mr. Najafi's creative team includes production designer Joel Collins, costume designer Stephanie Collie, and cinematographer Ed Wild. Casting is by Elaine Grainger.

Focus Features will release London Has Fallen theatrically nationwide on October 2nd, 2015.

This is gonna end up like Carpenter's "Escape from..." series. I wish he would've made Escape from Planet Earth (I guess I'm one of the few that likes Escape from LA)

[JimDiGriz]

I wonder if London has Fallen will rip off a certain book like Olympus has Fallen did?

I really liked the film and hope the sequel matches up to it with more of the same.

As for White House Down...the trailer was enough to convince me not to even bother watching.

[Samus Aran]

Remember the version of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" that Die Hard with a Vengeance had? They can do the same thing here with "London Bridge is Falling Down."

Third movie they're gonna go small and make it an introspective, character-driven piece: Butte, Montana Has Fallen.

Wasn't a huge fan of the original but this seems awesome

[Ben_UK]

I see it has the same nasty CGI as the first one. I dare say that these films have shared the SFX budget with Superman IV and Star Trek V?

[Tony208]

It could have a negative score and I'd still see it.

Very weak story but dear god the action and Gerard Butler are awesome in this. Worth the price of admission IMO. 3.5/5 on entertainment value alone.

[bowlingbilly10]

Is it worth seeing in the theaters? I loved the first one.

[cheez avenger]

I'm seeing this on Saturday.

Damn that place sounds awesome! I wish something like that was around here. It's cool to see that their prices seem more in line with most restaurants, the theaters that have stuff like chicken fingers and beer around here charge crazy prices like you would get at a sporting event.

Went and watched this last night, all I'll say if is you liked the first film, you will enjoy this one as well.

It's a great popcorn film, yes you know the shit is going to go down and the first half hour is the set up, but this is what we need sometimes hardcore mindless action, nothing more nothing less, the baddies Arses get kicked
