Gerard Butler to stab more heads in 'London Has Fallen'

With Olympus Has Fallen easily winning the White House invasion battle against White House Down, it shouldn't be surprising to see producer Millennium Films greenlighting a sequel, per Screen Daily. The follow-up, appropriately titled London Has Fallen, concerns our favorite secret service agent, the President of the United States, and a British MI6 agent foiling a plot to strike London during the funeral of the British Prime Minister. Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, and Radha Mitchell all return, with Katrin Benedikt and Creighton Rothenberger also penning the screenplay.

Olympus director Antoine Fuqua isn't expected to return (he's deep into post-production on The Equalizer), so Millennium Films is offering the project to prospective directors. The film will begin production in London early May 2014, with a spring 2015 release date eyed. Focus Features will distribute the film domestically, with Millennium handling international sales.
