Gerard Butler is lining up another Olympus Has Fallen follow-up. The actor is reportedly in deep negotiations to join the thriller The Raven from director Ricardo de Montreuil. This is a short film-based feature that is being distributed by Universal. It is a sci-fi conspiracy flick set in the near future. Here is the short after the jump. Continue Reading

Judging from the initial spot that follows, our initial inkling is correct as the CGI looks pretty bad. Having said that, this does come from the director of Training Day, so there is a bit of hope. Fuqua’s last two movies were Brooklyn’s Finest and Shooter which could have been worse implying that audiences can at least anticipate something capable. Continue Reading
This scheduling is not exactly cushy by any means as it will do battle with second weekends of G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Andrew Niccol’s The Host. The presumption here might be that either Film District wants to get their money and run, or they believe the latest G.I. Joe film will be a washout–something that many have been speculating ever since its year-long delay. Jurassic Park 3D has a same day release (undoubtedly something Universal did not plan on when dating the return to Steven Spielberg’s class,) and the Tom Cruise-led sci-fi flick Oblivion debuts the week after. Continue Reading
With the trailer now out, we can now thoroughly suggest this is more romantic comedy than anything else. It literally is exactly what you would expect, so hit the jump for the view if interested. Continue Reading

Tom Cruise and Gerard Butler were both on The Graham Norton Show this week, and much to our delight they both took part in a game of Wacky Wire. The two action stars were both on the program to promote their new films Oblivion and Olympus Has Fallen respectively. Quantum of Solace Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko was the third wheel as she co-stars opposite Cruise in the sci-fi adventure. This particular episode of Graham Norton will air April 11th on BBC America. 
The first clip has made it online for Olympus Has Fallen starring Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, and Aaron Eckhart. This is Training Day director Antoine Fuque’s attempt at a White House hostage thriller (there’s another one coming in June) that is of the low-budget variety. Nonetheless, there looks to be plenty of action as today’s first look scene features the key moment where Korean terrorists attack the President’s house. 
Playing for Keeps star Gerard Butler continued his press tour at Ellen this morning. Not much of the appearance has showed up online just yet, but the actor did have a pretty decent talk show anecdote this time out. He told a story about how he was road tripping recently after shooting Olympus Has Fallen where he ran into a dentist that shares his name: Dr. Gerry Butler. It is good stuff, so check it out if you are a fan. 
Gerard Butler has a new movie coming out–a rom-com called Playing for Keeps. The film has the actor starring alongside Jessica Biel and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and it pretty much has a monopoly on the genre for a while so we do not expect it to flop as bad as his surfer movie from October. Last night, Butler visited The Tonight Show where Jay Leno admitted to liking his newest effort which might not mean a whole lot; however, you should still check the appearance out if you are at all interested because the feature is a small topic of conversation. The actor also dished on a celebrity soccer game he participated in versus Manchester United. 
In a definite shocker of a move, Film District has picked up the Gerard Butler-led Olympus Has Fallen and subsequently dated the project for April 5, 2013. The Antoine Fuqua-directed feature is one of two such offerings in development at the moment centered around a secret service agent tasked with protecting the White House. While this is definitely the lower profile of the two, it does have a pretty decent supporting cast (Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart) which is why this will obviously make some noise.
Gerard Butler’s latest movie Chasing Mavericks is set to release this weekend. The film stars the 300 actor as a mentor to a young surfing phenom, but it might be best known as that feature that almost killed the man. Back in 2011, A big wave took down the actor while shooting. The incident led to an ambulance ride, but for the most part he was okay enough to continue working on the Michael Apted and Curtis Hanson-directed feature. 
Opening this December is a little sports dramedy starring Gerard Butler and Jessica Biel. The Gabriele Muccino-directed film is called Playing for Keeps and it centers around a divorced former soccer player who is on the path to redemption which is riddled with roadblocks that include gorgeous soccer moms who have the hots for him. The choice at hand? Being a good father or Catherine Zeta-Jones. Tough decision.
Mickey Rourke is about to partner up with Gerard Butler for the Albert Hughes-directed Motor City. The actor is reportedly in talks to join the feature which seems to be a more modern take on the Count of Monte Cristo. This is your classic revenge story where one guy puts the other behind bars and then steals his girl. It really sounds like a good fit for Rourke who currently has a handful of projects on his plate that deal with very similar circumstances.
