Briefly: It’s about damned time.
I was completely blown away by 2013’s Olympus Has Fallen. The Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, and Aaron Eckhart starring action flick surprised me with its fantastic cast, intriguing plot, gorgeous effects, and actual edge-of-your-seat action.
That said, I was pretty excited when a sequel, London Has Fallen, was announced quickly after the first film destroyed its box office expectations.
London Has Fallen was quickly delayed, however, and aside from a neat poster depicting the destruction of Big Ben, we haven’t heard much out of the Babak Najafi directed production.
Until today! The first trailer for the film has just hit the internet, and while not as immediately exciting as the marketing for Olympus Has Fallen was, it looks as though London Has Fallen could offer us another completely surprising action flick. Or it could be really terrible.
In any case, it probably can’t be as bad as the last Die Hard, and I’m really looking forward to seeing Butler and Freeman on screen together again.
Take a look at the first trailer below, and let us know what you think! London Has Fallen hits theatres on March 4th, 2016!
After the British Prime Minister passes away, his funeral becomes a target of a terrorist organization to destroy some of the world’s most powerful leaders, devastate the British capital, and unleash a terrifying vision of the future. The only hope of stopping it rests on the shoulders of the President of the United States (Aaron Eckhart) and his formidable Secret Service head (Gerard Butler), and an English MI-6 agent (Charlotte Riley) who rightly trusts no one. Morgan Freeman also stars as the Vice President of the United States.
