You’ve seen Olympus fall, you’ve seen London fall, you’ve even seen an Angel fall (yeah these titles got weird). Now,Gerard Butler’sOlympus Has Fallenfranchise is expanding into all-new territory withParis Has Fallen- the saga’s first-ever television spin-off. Gerard Butler’s Agent Mike Banning may not be involved this time around, butthe new trailer forParis Has Fallenteases new heroes, a new villain, and, of course, some new action set pieces.
Right off the bat, the new trailer forParis Has Fallenis already paying homage to classic action stories likeThe Rockby introducing it’s new villain as a sympathetic soldier with nothing left to lose named Jacob (played by a veteran villain actor,Mission: Impossible’sSean Harris). While Jacob’s intentions may be pure, his decision to resort to terrorism to achieve his goals is not, and soon the entire city of Paris is a potential casualty in Jacob’s war. To quell this potentially catastrophic and calculated wave of terrorism, two anti-terrorist operatives, Vincent (Tewfik Jallab) and Zara (Ritu Arya), may be the only two people standing in the way of the French Minister of Defense from meeting a horrible, gruesome end.
Apart from being a story about protecting public officials from terrorists, it’s currently unclear how and ifParis Has Fallenwill directly connect with Gerard Butler’sOlympus Has Fallentrilogy. We see Butler’s character of Mike Banning successfully stop an assault on the White House inOlympus Has Fallen, survive a massive siege inLondon Has Fallen, and protect the president inAngel Has Fallen. While Butler is not expected to appear inParis Has Fallen, he is still involved with the project as an executive producer.
