Dueling Die Hard in the White House movies!

Of all the double-dipping film races to exist, this is the weirdest one. There are two films in development where people attack the White House, and of course only one Secret Service Agent can save the day. After all, none of these presidents are Harrison Ford, the most butt kicking president ever (take that, Abe Lincoln!)

Sony brings us White House Down, featuring Channing Tatum as a secret service officer and Jamie Foxx as the president. Roland Emmerich directs. Meanwhile, Millennium Films is giving us Olympus Has Fallen, featuring Aaron Eckhart as the president and Gerard Butler as the heroic Secret Service Agent. Angela Bassett will also star, and Antoine Fuqua directs.

If you can’t wait to see people shooting in the White House, be sure to check out Megiddo: The Omega Code 2, as they have a pretty killer White House shootout scene.

Movie News Droppings

The Spiderman reboot, which looks like they are going to go all Twilight with (sigh…), will also be in in 3-D. So expect sparkly Spiderman shooting webbing directly at the camera while obsessed pale Mary Jane spends large portions of the film sitting in a chair, depressed. Then Werewolf Goblin takes off his shirt.

The remake of Escape From New York is moving forward, as now we got dirty bombs, a non-trashed New York that is still a prison, and Snake rescuing a female senator instead of the President, probably so he can bang her. It will still be terrible.

The Superman reboot will be “Godfathered” by Chris Nolan, of Dark Knight fame. Basically, they will give him a bunch of cash to tell them if their ideas are dumb so they can try to make a billion dollars again, But they probably won’t listen and they’ll make another bomb. Meanwhile, the important news is that Nolan has an idea for the third Batman film, and he and his brother are writing the script.

In non-reboot news, Roland Emmerich is still making Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy, and now it will be 3D Motion Capture, because he can demand more money from YOU! I am officially over 3D, and even the promise of a 3D Mule won’t get me back into it. This news is so bad I wish I had more reboot news…

Foywonder has discovered that Asylum is making Titanic 2. Yes.
