The action-packed Olympus Has Fallen, about a former Secret Service agent who has to stop the takeover of the White House, opens in theaters this Friday. We’ll have our review on Thursday afternoon, but while you wait, you can listen to the press conference where the cast and director talked about the project.

The press conference, held yesterday, featured director Antoine Fuqua and cast members Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Dylan McDermott, Rick Yune, Morgan Freeman, and Angela Bassett. Be warned that there were some spoilers in the press conference.

In Olympus Has Fallen, Butler plays a disgraced former Presidential guard who gets trapped in the White House after it is taken over by terrorists. Eckhart plays the President, Freeman is the Speaker of the House, Bassett is the Secret Service Director, McDermott is a former Secret Service agent, and Yune is a…complicated character.
