A 4-minute trailer of Roland Emmerich’s thriller “White House Down” was released with much fanfare.

The film focuses on a capitol policeman, played by Channing Tatum, who was denied a dream job with the Secret Service.

But while taking his girl on a tour of the White House, Tatum’s character, John Cale, must protect the president (Jamie Foxx) from a heavily armed paramilitary group.

Also starring in the film are Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Woods, Richard Jenkins and Joey King.

Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal

Word on the street is that actress Maggie Gyllenhaal may play a Secret Service agent in the upcoming film “White House Down.” Channing Tatum has already been cast as a Secret Service agent.

Gyllenhaal is in talks to play a patriotic Secret Service Agent, reports Film School Rejects.  Jamie Foxx is in talks to play the president.

Can’t hurt the film to cast a woman with layers; it also seems like great PR for  an agency steeped in the manly scandal of late.
