Il bello è che sembra che si sovrappongano le riprese :huh:

Se ne parla anche da noi...l'articolo è della nostra Luz :clap:

Gerard Butler salverà la Casa Bianca in Olympus has fallen

Nonostante i problemi di salute che lo hanno costretto a passare un periodo forzato di riabilitazione, Gerard Butler non ha la minima intenzione di fermarsi. Archiviati gli immeritati flop di ‘Coriolanus’ e ‘Machine Gun Preacher’ (che purtroppo in Italia non abbiamo avuto ancora il piacere di vedere al cinema), l’attore scozzese è già al lavoro sul prossimo progetto cinematografico che lo vedranno, ancora una volta, nella doppia veste di produttore e protagonista.

A settembre sarà infatti sul set dell’action movie ‘Olympus has fallen’. Scritto dagli esordienti sceneggiatori Creighton Rothenberger e Katrin Benedikt, la pellicola viene descritta come un “Die Hard” ambientato alla Casa Bianca. La storia segue infatti un ex agente dei servizi segreti caduto in disgrazia, e diventato la sola speranza di salvezza per il paese quando la Casa Bianca viene messa sotto assedio da un gruppo di terroristi. Producono Butler e il suo manager Alan Siegel con la Millennium Films, mentre Avi Lerner figurerà nelle vesti di produttore esecutivo assieme a Trevor Short.

‘Olympus has fallen’ non è l’unico progetto a breve termine che vedrà impegnata la star di 300. Gerard Butler inizierà a girare in primavera, a Boston, ‘Brilliant’, diretto da Robert Luketic che con l’attore ha già lavorato ne ‘La dura verità’. Subentrato ad Eric Bana, Butler vestirà i panni di un ladro professionista, specializzato in rapine ad alto rischio, ingaggiato per mettere a segno il furto di diamanti più grande della storia. La release di ‘Brilliant’ è prevista per la fine del 2012.

E sempre per quest’anno sono in uscita ‘Of Men and Mavericks’, biopic sulla leggenda del surf Jay Moriarty diretto da Curtis Hanson (poi sostituito da Michael Apted), e ‘Playing the field’, terza pellicola americana del nostro Gabriele Muccino e in uscita in Italia il 5 ottobre.

Hanno trovato il regista per Olympus.

Antoine Fuqua Circling 'Olympus' as White House Thriller Race Heats Up
Gerard Butler is set to star in one of two competing movies described as " 'Die Hard' in the White House."


Olympus has a leg up on Down because it already has an actor attached. THR previously reported that Gerard Butler is on board to star as an unlikely Secret Service agent trying to stop terrorists who have taken over the White House.

The script, by first-time scribes Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt, was picked up by Millennium in early March. The race to the screen is so intense, according to insiders, that Millennium is fast-tracking Olympus for a June production start.

Butler is producing with Millennium president Mark Gill; the two worked together on Law-Abiding Citizen). Butler's manager Alan Siegel also is producing.

Fuqua may be best known for directing Training Day, the crime thriller that won Denzel Washington an Oscar for best actor, and he most recently directed the 2009 crime drama Brooklyn’s Finest. He is repped by CAA and Ziffren Brittenham.

Di più! A meno che non rifiuti qualcosa, perchè sembrano che debbano essere girati tutti lo stesso periodo.

Ulteriori conferme in questo articolo

Gerard Butler to return to Hollywood South for new Millennium Studios project

Millennium Films has confirmed their next major project will be an action thriller set in the White House, and bring Gerard Butler back to Hollywood South for his next movie.

Gerard Butler is already signed on for the lead role in "Olympus Has Fallen," which will bring the "300" star back to the area for a second time since filming the romantic comedy "Playing The Field" with Jessica Biel, currently in post-production and due out in December. Now he'll play an ex-Secret Service agent fighting to defend the Capitol building from terrorists.

Millennium Films president Diego Martinez on Tuesday confirmed the project is in pre-production now and filming is expected to begin in July and continue through August. "It's a very big project. The tag line I've seen is 'Die Hard in the White House,' is what they're calling it," so it should be very very exciting."

Martinez says it will be the biggest project Millennium ("The Expendables," "Righteous Kill") has done in Louisiana to date, and that they are in the process of signing yet another big name to portray the president in the movie.

Olympus is set for release in 2014.

The studio, owned by parent company Nu Image, opened just over year ago in the Ledbetter Heights on the edge of downtown Shreveport. The 70,000 square-foot, $10 million project covers 6.7 acres, featuring two sound stages, over 14,000 square feet of office space Studio Operations. The property also houses Worldwide FX, which has done work on "Conan the Barbarian," "Trespass," "The Expendables" and "The Mechanic."

Millennium is currently in the process of acquiring more land to make room for a 20,000 square foot prop house, specialty sets and wardrobe. They're also hoping to create more office and parking space for trucks and vendors.
