No, it's not a trailer for a sequel to White House Down. This is the White House website now.... www.wired.com/story/white-...

unlabelledView post →On the new Exploding Helicopter podcast we review WHITE HOUSE DOWN (2013). Director Roland Emmerich made a career out of blowing up helicopters in film but is this his worst ever effort at whirlybird conflagration? This and other important topics discussed. Listen wherever you get your pods 🚁💥🎧

unlabelledView post →Seems to mean that the movie, "White House Down" is more real than "WestWing" and that sucks.

unlabelledView post →Blink Twice is extremely fucked up but it might be my new favorite Channing Tatum movie, replacing the previous winner, the 2013 cinematic masterpiece that was White House Down.
unlabelledView post →He's building a huge bunker beneath the ballroom...that's what I think...he's not leaving the WH ... "White House Down"...a movie I saw a few years ago....and thought...this is coming to our country in reality....frightening what is happening everywhere in our country.
unlabelledView post →Did I just put on White House Down as my "please let me fall into a coma for a few hours and take this almost migraine away" movie? Why yes I did.
unlabelledView post →White House Down. The movie. I cannot wait until this s*** happens for real and folks in that White House our White House are held accountable.
unlabelledView post →I’m eager to watch G20. I love these President Action Hero movies. In my head canon, AIR FORCE ONE, WHITE HOUSE DOWN, and G20 are all in the same universe, full of Presidents ready to throw down when necessary.
unlabelledView post →In March 2012, Sony paid a reported $3M to acquire action spec script "White House Down" written by James Vanderbilt. Described as "Die Hard" meets "Air Force One." Movie starred Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx. Free eBook "Spec Script Deals: 1991-2025". Coming: Sept. 8.
unlabelledView post →Last night's movie was "White House Down". Tonight it's going to be "Independence Day". I'm trying to remember what an US president is like. May the 4th be with you.
unlabelledView post →"White House Down" is such a TERRIBLE movie and I love it so much. Quick question though? Who is Maggie Gyllenhaal's agent because that person could sell water to the ocean.
unlabelledView post →Now I’m reminded that I haven’t seen the movie White House Down for a while, did see its twin recently: Olympus Has Fallen. Both released in 2013. Feel free to make a new one where the president is evil.
unlabelledView post →his last performance in a real movie was in WHITE HOUSE DOWN where he plays a secret service agent who is revealed as a traitor against the liberal President, not sure if he knew he was supposed to be one of the bad guys
unlabelledView post →Movie: White House Down. In my version, Secret Service says, "Meh" and gathers in the break room for coffee and snacks.
unlabelledView post →I watched the film White House Down. It looks like the Trump administration has done the sequel, and taken "White House down" too literally, and demolished it. 🙄
unlabelledView post →WHITE HOUSE DOWN is good at being the jokey kind of action movie it is, and OLYMPUS IS FALLEN is worse at doing a more serious and violent approach that I like better, so I actually do find this a tough call lol
unlabelledView post →Think I saw the film, White House Down.
unlabelledView post →Going to watch White House Down and see if I can time the line in the movie about the white house falling to noon
unlabelledView post →Air Force One, White House Down, the Olympus Has Fallen series, and it's a videogame and not a film, I concede, but let's throw Bad Dudes in there, while I'm at it.
unlabelledView post →If you'd like to enjoy it too, 'White House Down' is on Film Four. It is everything I wanted this evening. It's the stupidest thing I've seen in ages.
unlabelledView post →If you had a pre-Trump film US President like Michael Douglas (The American President) or Jamie Foxx (White House Down) turn up in a mainstream film today, people would think they were an impostor character or about to get killed in a coup. The air of today’s world is toxic to such a creature.
unlabelledView post →Turned on White House Down which seems like some lite movie fare to start the day - a guy who wants a job he doesn’t get winds up doing it anyway & saving America of course, & I think there’s a traitor in the mix Seems like it’s some movie candy, nothing nutritious but def some trashy fun 📽️🎞️
unlabelledView post →#NW #NowWatching WHITE HOUSE DOWN (2013) dir. Roland Emmerich Why did I ever doubt my disasterpiece king this is everything an Emmerich fan could want out of a movie about a terrorist attack on the WH I'm 40 minutes in and happy as a pig in shit 🤩 #Filmsky #Moviesky 🎥🎬
unlabelledView post →I just call them a "Die Hard", even though the series abandoned what made it cool. Overwhelming odds, unlikely hero, high stakes, and them getting constantly worn down throughout the movie. White House Down is another good example
unlabelledView post →Just gonna leave these random images related to the 1997 action film AIR FORCE ONE and the 2013 action films OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN and WHITE HOUSE DOWN RIGHT HERE (but not Fallen's THREE SEQUELS) for no particular reason. I swear. Like double dog swear. Totally. 🤞🏾
unlabelledView post →This is how you enjoy a movie. Also I worked on this so I'm biased. Being massively the cheaper of the two, Olympus beat Emmerich's other Die Hard in The White House film at the box office, White House Down
unlabelledView post →“Olympus has Fallen” and “White House Down” is literally the same movie.
unlabelledView post →White House Down will always be my guilty pleasure movie because they definitely nailed who the terrorists would be in America.
unlabelledView post →Shout out to BBC America for showing the movie White House Down right now
unlabelledView post →To commemorate the events of September 11, 2001, I am recording a special episode of Junk Filter to discuss Gerard Butler’s HAS FALLEN trilogy (with a sidebar on the other 2013 movie about an attack on the Capitol, WHITE HOUSE DOWN). Out in a few days!
unlabelledView post →if you ever saw that White House Down movie its so funny like literally in the opening jamie foxx as president is saying something like "the greatest cause of violence in the world is poverty" as if it was some kind of west wing dream reality administration, in a totally ridiculous action picture
unlabelledView post →One of my assignments when I teach Freshman Composition is to write an essay making an argument why your favorite film should be inducted into the National Film Registry (that it is “culturally significant” in some way). One of my students is making the case for White House Down this year.
unlabelledView post →There were literally two 2013 films, with pretty major film stars, about the White House itself being taken over. White House Down (Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, & Maggie Gyllenhaal) and Olympus Has Fallen (Gerald Butler, Aaron Eckhart, & Morgan Freeman).
unlabelledView post →My mom this morning: I need to watch a happy movie this morning… what was that movie with Channing Tanning where he’s got to rescue his daughter at the White House?!? My dad: White House Down? My mom: YES! Let’s watch that (I’ll let your imagination run as to why that’s a happy movie 😉😆)
unlabelledView post →White House Down has hotness, sadly the Gerry RaceWar film is the start of some deeply racist bullshit
unlabelledView post →OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN = WHITE HOUSE DOWN The former is a highly entertaining "90s action movie" with a budget. The latter is a highly entertaining action/comedy. I love both. (I also love LONDON and like ANGEL, but whatever.)
unlabelledView post →The whole scene seemed to have been pulled from the movie "White House Down", when a Secret Service agent tells Kale to back off. New "ICE" are imitating actors, since not trained in law enforcement. Awaiting one saying "Go ahead, make my day", from Dirty Harry.
unlabelledView post →If you liked White House Down or Air Force One then check out the new movie on Prime called G20. Viola Davis does a great job as the President. Anthony Starr is an evil jackass. And Clark Gregg is the Vice President.
unlabelledView post →White House Down is such a fucking stupid movie. I love it unreservedly all the same though
unlabelledView post →White House Down is on tv and it’s pretty funny 2013 gave us two movies within three months of each other that are nearly the same, except one is Woke and the other is Chud
unlabelledView post →BBC America is now playing the movie "White House Down.

unlabelledView post →Just realized Lauren Sanchez plays a reporter in Roland Emmerich’s White House Down. When Bezos becomes president, this movie will become required viewing in every school in America.
unlabelledView post →Americans who oppose him staying in the White House at the end of his term and making sure Americans no longer have a DEMOCRACY. Watch the movie White House Down.
unlabelledView post →If you haven’t seen the movie White House Down- do so asap. While fiction, this is what’s going on on several accounts.
unlabelledView post →Don't often see a film and think that these are quality actors who've debased themselves to be in such a heap of shit, but White House Down has been on this morning.
unlabelledView post →What fictional movie plot was this? The ballroom was "Olympus Has Fallen" was one of two 2013 films that depicted a terrorist attack against the White House; the other "White House Down" with additional scary plots.
unlabelledView post →Some Hollywood movies predicted that America's downfall would come from within, not from without, like the movie "White House Down," but I never imagined that the American president would be the cause, rather than a terrorist group.
unlabelledView post →Time for another White House Down kind of movie. In this one, the President is the villain.
unlabelledView post →My ★★★ review of White House Down on @letterboxd: boxd.it/2y1JdD
unlabelledView post →White House Down. When they ask what movie I've seen 6 or more times or what movie I can't resist if I happen upon it? I gotta remember White House Down. And The Day After Tomorrow. I don't know why, but they r well-crafted movies with compelling characters & situations. We need heroes like them.
unlabelledView post →Is this a scene from White House Down or Olympus Has Fallen movies? If it’s. New movie, what should it be called?
