First off, no White House Down is indeed not the same movie as Olympus Has Fallen starring Gerard Butler which hit theaters this past week. It’s just another movie centered on a paramilitary group taking the White House but if those aren’t just a dime a dozen I don’t know what are. This White House destruction film is directed by White House destroying extraordinaire Roland Emmerich (Independence Day) and stars it-boy Channing Tatum with Jaime Foxx filling the shoes of the US President. Although there’s sure to be some confusion as to which movie is which, it certainly isn’t the first time studios haven’t pulled the old double doozie gag (think Antz vs. A Bugs Life or Dantes Peak vs. Volcano).
