Channing Tatum plays John Cale, a Secret Service Agent who's minding his business, taking his daughter on a tour of the White House, when the attack begins. As a paramilitary group attacks the nation's capital, Tatum protects Jamie Foxx's President of the United States. In the newly released preview, the media is front and center as news anchors narrate the crippling destruction facing Washington, D.C., and, more specifically, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Combine that with a foreboding quote from Abraham Lincoln, and the drama heats up yet another notch. The movie was directed by Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, 2012), drawing from a screenplay written by James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, The Amazing Spider-Man). Movie Cast includes Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty), Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight), James Woods (Shark), Richard Jenkins (Killing Them Softly), Rachelle Lefevre (Twilight) and Joey King (Oz the Great and Powerful) as Tatum's daughter in the film. The action thriller is being compared to the likes of Die Hard, with Independence Day and 2012 . The White House Down trailer is somber and serious, but everyone should know better than to expect one of Emmerich's films to not have its fair share of campiness. In the trailer for "White House Down," bad people are shooting guns and blowing everything up - then they keep shooting and large objects continue to explode. 
From screenwriter James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) it's a somewhat irresistible formula, combining the contained chaos of Die Hard and raising the stakes by putting the leader of the country in danger. We're especially excited to see Zero Dark Thirty star Jason Clarke lead the group of mercenaries trying to overtake the White House. Director Roland Emmerich, for the last 17 years had his sight set on the White House. "I always jokingly say that they should put a plaque somewhere in one of the rooms," Emmerich told. "Or my portrait: 'The man who destroyed the White House the most.'" Director Roland Emmerich has a fondness for attacking the White House. In 1996, he let aliens blow up the White House in "Independence Day"; 13 years later, Emmerich used a tsunami and the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy to destroy the executive mansion of the United States in the disaster blockbuster "2012"; and this summer, Emmerich directs the film "White House Down," which finds Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx teaming up to prevent the domestic enemies from toppling the presidency. Watch the first full-length movie trailer below. White House Down is slated to hit theaters on June 28, 2013. Check the movie trailer out and judge for yourselves. Read more...
