A series adapted from the famous saga
Written by Howard Overman (Wrong) and directed by Oded Raskin (False Flag), Paris Has Fallen is a television adaptation of the famous film saga, directed by Gerard Butler.
In the “Falled” franchise, which includes “The Fall of the White House” (2013), “The Fall of London” (2016) and “The Fall of the President” (2019), the actor plays the bodyguard of Mike Bunning, the President of the United States. States that constantly save their country, as well as its president, from evil terrorists.
Will Gerard Butler appear in the series?
An iconic figure in the films, Gerard Butler, who is producing the series through his production company, will not appear in Paris Has Fallen, however. Two reasons explain the actor’s absence.
The first is very simple: during the filming of the first season of Paris Has Fallen, the American actors went on strike, which lasted several months. Then it was impossible for them to go to the set, as Howard Overman explained to us at the press conference.
“We tried to get a cameo. Unfortunately, due to the actors’ strike in the United States, we were unable to do so. This was planned from the beginning.”
The second reason is that the screenwriter wanted to create a series that would work without the aid of a cinematic saga. “We wanted the series to stand on its own. We wanted to speak to fans of the saga as well as people who have never seen the films. We didn’t want to have “inside jokes” and references that only spoke to half the audience.Howard Overman explained.
“It was important to us that if you haven’t seen the movies, you can still watch the series and enjoy it as a unique piece of work..”
