Exactly. Brother and I loved Olympus has Fallen, but true to Hollywood's lack of originality - there is another “take over the White House” movie coming out this year - “White House Down.”

My father says it is the American way to “Take a good thing and overdo it.”.

The Hollywood paradigm is to beat the horse until it is very very obviously a dead horse.

As long as “take over the White House” movies make money - even with B actors and low budgets - they will continue to make “take over the White House” movies.

They will take an original idea - strip it of it’s essential core - and make sure it is formulaic of what ‘worked’ before.
