The Big Picture At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Collider'sSteve Weintraub hosted a fascinating Directors on Directing panel featuring Roland Emmerich and Antoine Fuqua, with the pair discussing their careers in directing. The conversation covered various topics, but one of the highlights came when Robert Kirkman, perhaps best known for creating The Walking Dead, fired a question up to Emmerich about the simultaneous filming of Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down.
I think I was a little more violent with my film, and I was sort of gauging that on the temperature of what I felt the audience was interested in. Being not so far from 9-11 and other issues, I felt like I could make a freer version because I didn't have as much money at stake. So, that's kind of how I saw it. But again, I'm a fan of Roland’s, and I never felt any negative competition. I really felt like, “I gotta step my game up because Roland Emmerich doesn’t fuck around.

Armageddon, directed by Michael Bay, followed a group of oil drillers sent to space to destroy an asteroid before it could collide with Earth. Starring Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, and Liv Tyler, the film was a high-octane action spectacle.
