Sony has released a new poster and theatrical trailer for White House Down, which sees director Roland Emmerich heading back to the White House seventeen years after blowing it up in Independence Day this year's second Presidential action thriller after Antoine Fuqua's Olympus Has Fallen.
This one sees Channing Tatum (21 Jump Street, Magic Mike) as a policeman - and rejected Secret Service agent - who has to rescue Jamie Foxx's (Django Unchained, The Amazing Spider-Man 2) President of the United States from a paramilitary group led by Jason Clarke (The Great Gatsby, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), all the while protecting his young daughter, played by Joey King (The Dark Knight Rises, Oz the Great and Powerful).
Rival White House actioner Olympus Has Fallen hasenjoyed a decent run at the box office, pulling in close to $130 million worldwide from a $70 million budget. Of course, that kind of budget is small change to Emmerich, so Sony will be hoping that Channing Tatum's star power helps to deliver a similar rate of return on its $150 million investment when White House Down opens this summer.
Anyway, check out the new trailer here...
White House Down opens in North America on June 28th and in the UK on September 6th, with a cast that also includes Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight), Richard Jenkins (The Cabin in the Woods), James Woods (Straw Dogs), Garcelle Beauvais (Flight), Lance Reddick (The Wire) and Rachelle Lafevre (The Twilight Saga: New Moon).
