Just saw the trailer with Gerard Butler....

Is this Mitch Rapp?

Or a Vince Flynn ripoff?

Thank God

"Who is that guy?!?"

"Grizzly McBadass? The guy who was the head of the Presidential Detail until some fricking thing happened on some fateful night back at the beginning of the movie? Don't worry everyone - he's ex-special forces."



Are you fricking kidding me? Is the "ex-special forces" bit really necessary? Without that were people going to think a former head of the Secret Service Presidential Detail was basically a rent-a-cop from the local mall? I can usually handle one hell of a lot of cheese in a popcorn flick, but that might be a bit too much.

The best part, "But can we trust him?"

Gerald Butler: "I'm all that you got!"

How many cliches can we fit into 2 hours? All of them.

We are going to need an "I just saw the Olympus Has Fallen Trailer" thread stickied.

No but my understanding is that Chris Hemsworth is set to star in movies based on this character.

Though oddly enough, Gerard Butler was also considered.

Isn't that the blond haired, blue eyed guy from Thor?

First we had vertically challenged Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher, now we get Hemsworth playing Rapp (whose dark skin & hair allow him to blend in with the populations of the Middle Eastern countries where he operates).

I know most people don't care, but little shite like that just pisses me off.

Some of the stunt scenes for that movie were filmed at NOLA Motorsports on the westbank. Just fyi.
