The film also stars Ellen Page, Alexander Skarsgård, Toby Kebbell, Julia Ormond and Aldis Hodge. Fox Searchlight Pics picked up the project but has not set up a release date. Olympus Has Fallen Don’t confuse this film with White House Down (starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx), Olympus has fallen stars Gerard Bulter as a sulking Secret Service Agent who must find a way to stop terrorists from taking over the White House. Aaron Eckhart plays the our nation’s President, while Rick Yune plays the leader of the terrorists. Film hits theaters this March. The Heat Sanda Bullock and Melissa McCarthy have very different ways of laying down the law. One plays it by the books, the other has her own set of rules. But together they make quite the pair.

Carey Mulligan, Adam Driver, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund also star. Set in New York, the film is partially based on partly based on Van Ronk’s memoir The Mayor of MacDougal Street, which covers Davis’ presence as a musician during the 60s.
