Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman & Director Antoine Fuqua Attempt To Protect The White House in 'Olympus Has Fallen'

Olympus Has Fallen is filled with massive explosions, heavy artillery and lots of violence. It's also fueled by a growing fear of terrorism and how the high ranking officials behind-the-scenes deal with such drastic situations. "First of all, the intention was to entertain and make a fun action thriller. But it’s always good to make an action film that has substance," explains director Antoine Fuqua. "Terrorism is a part of our lives unfortunately."

The things they say

"Robbie Williams has a five-a-side park up in Mulholland (Drive) and I went there one night and Will was training; we were both training for the same game and I'm thinking, 'Will Ferrell playing soccer... This is funny!' He's good... He was solid, he didn't stop, he ran around like a dog, he got the ball." Actor Gerard Butler was impressed with Will Ferrell's soccer skills.
