Gerard Butler is bloodied and bruised as he shoots new movie London Has Fallen at Somerset House
The action may have moved to London, but Gerard Butler is still in the firing line for the follow up to his worldwide blockbuster movie Olympus Has Fallen.
With blood on his shirt, the 45-year-old was spotted shooting scenes for London Has Fallen outside one of the capital’s best known landmarks – Somerset House.
The London Has Fallen’s cast have decamped to the stunning location to shoot some action-packed scenes, with leading man Gerard busy filming a car sequence on Sunday.
The actor reprises his role as secret service agent Mike Banning for the film, and it looks like he’s going into battle again after saving the president from North Korean terrorists in the first movie.
Gerard was dressed in a dark suit and trench-coat as he shot scenes on the Strand in London. His smart suit showed signs of a fight though, with his white shirt smeared with blood.
The story picks up in London, at the funeral of the British Prime Minister, who has passed away under mysterious circumstances. The world’s leaders have gathered in the capital for the funeral service, but just like the first film things don’t go to plan when the gathering becomes the target of terrorists looking to kill all those in attendance. It’s up to Eckhart’s President Asher, his formidable Secret Service head Banning and a British MI-6 agent to save the day.
Other returning cast members include Morgan Freeman, as Vice President Trumbull, Angela Bassett, as Secret Service Director Lynne Jacobs, and Melissa Leo as Defense Secretary Ruth McMillan.
London Has Fallen will arrive in theatres on October 1, 2015.
