\"\"<\/a>Sony just has purchased a spec script titled White House Down<\/strong> from Jamie Vanderbilt. The studio is rumored to be paying the princely sum of $3 million, which could make it the biggest spec sale on record. Vanderbilt is the chief author of Sony’s Spider-Man reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man<\/strong> as well as their remake of Total Recall<\/strong>. He also has just finished a production rewrite on the upcoming Robocop<\/strong> remake for MGM. No director is attached to the project yet.<\/p>\n

This is the second White House-related action project to be announced in the last couple of weeks. Millennium Films recently announced that they have attached Gerard Butler to a White House related action film titled Olympus Has Fallen<\/strong>. Depending on whether both of these get made, we could be seeing another concept showdown at the box office similar to the summer that both Armageddon<\/strong> and Deep Impact<\/strong> graced screens within weeks of each other or how movie goers will have their choice of two different Snow White films this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
