'Olympus Has Fallen' Premiere Celebrates Antoine Fuqua's Action Thriller

The director recreated Washington D.C. in Louisiana for the film, which stars Gerard Butler.

Olympus Has Fallen, the action-thriller about a hostage situation at the White House, celebrated its red carpet premiere in Hollywood on Monday, March 18.

Stars Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett and Rick Yune attended the evening screening at ArcLight Cinemas followed by a lively party at Lure nightclub.

At the after party, Butler, who stars as a disgraced Secret Service agent who is tasked with saving the president after the White House is held hostage, held court in the main entrance way, talking to friends about the film. A security guard tried to gently encourage the group to move their gathering inside, but the group was completely enthralled with Butler’s stories.
