The President of the United States is one of the most powerful people in the world. Anyone who has such a position has enemies. That’s why it’s a popular motif in Hollywood action films and series that US presidents have to be saved from assassins or terrorists by brave, patriotic action heroes. Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, Gerard Butler as Mike Banning, Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken and whatever Jamie Foxx’s Secret Service agent in White House Down said have already saved the US president from certain death.
Has Wolfgang Petersen in In the Line of Fire Nor did he let Clint Eastwood protect the US President Air Force One Harrison Ford as the president himself becomes an action hero. He followed in his footsteps in 2014 Samuel L. Jackson in Big Game of the Finnish Content-Director Jalmari Helander. In it he played the US head of state whose Air Force One is shot down over the Finnish wilderness and who then has to escape his pursuers with the help of a 13-year-old boy.
Jackson will soon be portraying the US president again, who has to mutate into an action hero in an emergency. In The Beast For a change, the president is not attacked on board Air Force One, but in the armored and heavily armed presidential limousine, which bears the eponymous nickname from the Secret Service.
When unknown insurgents organize a coup (memories of January 6, 2021 come back!), the president played by Jackson discovers the full extent of his car’s protective measures and weapon systems. Separated from his wife, he must learn to control both “Beast” and the monster within himself in order to save his own life, that of Secret Service agent Taft, played by Joel Kinnaman (Picture below The Suicide Squad), and save the entire country.
Both actors signed for the film before the actors’ strike, which is currently being offered to interested buyers at the Toronto International Film Festival. James Madigan, who worked as a second unit director among others MEG and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts has worked, will The Beast stage. The script is written by Umair Aleem, who wrote the actioner Kate wrote with Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The producers include. a. Lone-Survivor– and Hancock-Director Peter Berg. When filming will begin will of course depend on how the strikes progress.
I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely up for Jackson as a badass action president who will hopefully utter the odd “F-word” that Jackson has now elevated to a linguistic art form.
