Olympus Has Fallen sequel to be released Next year

Gerard Butler's "Olympus Has Fallen" sequel is said to be released in October 2015. "London has Fallen" will go up against Fox's "Frankenstein" on that date.  The story will take place in London with an attack on the city during the funeral of the British prime minister, who has died under mysterious circumstances. Butler will reprise his role as a U.S. Secret Service agent.

The script for the sequel is written by Creighton Rothenberger, Katrin Benedikt and Christian Gudegast.  The film is being produced by Butler, Alan Siegel, Mark Gill, and Matt O’Toole.

“Olympus Has Fallen” was released last year in March by FilmDistrict, the U.S. distributor led by Peter Schlessel prior to him being named CEO of Focus Features. The film grossed $98.9 million at the domestic box office.
