Trailer – White House Down
White House Down is one of the latest hotly anticipated box office hits to come out of Hollywood’s Hills. Featuring Channing Tatum, who plays John Cale, a Capital Police Officer trying his hardest to protect and make sure the President (aka Jamie Foxx) stays alive in what only can be described as an extreme terrorist attack.

Directed by Roland Emmerich who has exceptional flair when it comes to shooting disorder and chaos, recall his other blockbusters, Independence Day, The Day after Tomorrow and Godzilla, you can expect big explosions and the usual American patriotism. Due to be released on September 6th you can catch a glimpse of the action to come in the trailer here….
