Aaron Eckhart in Olympus has fallen
The Big Picture After previously playing the president in the Fallen trilogy alongside Gerard Butler, one Dark Knight actor will portray the Commander in Chief once more. A new report from Deadline revealed that Aaron Eckhart will play the president in the upcoming action film Raider, by director Simon West.
Raider follows a president who quickly discovers that the White House is being controlled by a shadow criminal organization after being sworn into office. After refusing to bend to their whim, the president must work with the head of his Secret Service to solve a string of mysterious messages left behind by his predecessors in hopes of saving both his family and country.
"Our lead is a classy and honorable man who puts country first, despite the risks and impossible odds. When he realizes what's at stake, he simply says 'No.' We're very excited to be working with Aaron again and I can't imagine a better fit than Simon West to bring this pule-pounding thriller home in spades."
