Essentially recycling the premise of the successful B-movie Olympus Has Fallen, the London-set sequel sees the Prime Minister dying under mysterious circumstances, and as the world's leaders gather for the funeral, a terrorist aims to pick them all off. It falls to President of the United States Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) and his trusty Secret Service guard Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) to see the threat off, of course. The vast majority of the original movie's cast will return, including Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Robert Forster, Melissa Leo and Radha Mitchell, while Jackie Earle Haley joins the cast in a role that will surely end up as villainous. No Antoine Fuqua directing this time, sadly: Babak Najafi (Easy Money II) replaces him. Release Date: October 2nd
