Jamie Foxx is in talks to play the President of the United States of America in the action flick, White House Down. How topical; an African American president...
Roland Emmerich is directing the film and Channing Tatum is already set to star as a secret service agent tasked with keeping the president safe when shit goes down at the white house. The script, by Zodiac and The Amazing Spider-Man writer James Vanderbilt, was bought by Sony Pictures for a mammoth $3 million and pre-production then moved swiftly when Emmerich became attached. Tatum has a great relationship with Sony, having just headlined two huge hit movies for them - The Vow and 21 Jump Street.
Foxx will next be seen in Django Unchained around about Christmas time.
