A few years ago Roland Emmerich said he was moving away from epic disaster movies, but his love of destroying iconic landmarks continues unabated, as this trailer for White House Down shows the Capitol Building getting it, amongst others.
The trailer seems deliberately timed to hit just as Olympus Has Fallen arrives in US cinemas, so that audiences can see that while they may both tell a similar story, this one’s going to be on a bigger scale.
Channing Tatum stars as a secret service agent who’s in the White House when a group of terrorists take over. He’s then tasked with guiding the President (Jamie Foxx) to safety. Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Woods, Jason Clarke, Richard Jenkins, Lance Reddick and Joey King also star.
The Roland Emmerich directed film hits US cinemas this June, but won’t reach the UK until September 6th. Take a look at the trailer above, while a new Tatum centred poster is below.
