Watch: Gerard Butler Is ‘Kicking A**’ The popular Scottish actor swung by Celebuzz's LA studio to dish on what it was like to play a Secret Service agent.

On March 22, Gerard Butler returns to the big screen in the action-packed drama Olympus Has Fallen, in which he plays a disgraced Secret Service agent called to duty again when the White House is infiltrated by North Korean terrorists.

The film mixes all of the elements of a good ol’ fashioned time at the movies — which is exactly how Butler described it when he stopped by the Celebuzz studio earlier this week.

“When [my character] gets in there, you want to see him kick some ass — and he does that,” the hunky Scottish actor, 43, revealed. “And there are a lot of funny moments. There’s definitely some cheering and laughing in the movie, as well.”

Michael Caine Talks About Working On ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ With Christopher Nolan & Tom Hardy (FLICKS AND BITS)

It’s not like I’m counting or anything….OK, maybe I am, but we’re just 15 days away from the release the hugely-anticipated finale in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’ With that, Empire has posted a new interview with Sir Michael Caine – who’s marking his fifth collaboration with Nolan on the film – to talk all things ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’ Throughout Nolan’s Series, Michael Caine has portrayed Alfred, Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler, guardian, father figure, and above all, friend. Over the course of ‘Batman Begins’ and ‘The Dark Knight,’ Alfred has been an integral part of Bruce Wayne/Batman’s inner circle alongside Morgan Freeman’s Lucius Fox and Gary Oldman’s Commissioner Gordon. Commenting on his experience working with Christopher Nolan, Michael Caine reveals, “It’s fabulous. And of course, one of the greatest talents of a director is casting. I once said to John Huston when I was working with him on The Man Who Would Be King, “what is the talent of a director?” He said “casting”, and you look at the cast of actors that Chris has got. It’s absolutely wonderful every time. And this one, Dark Knight Rises, is no exception. He’s got one of my favourite new young British actors, Tom Hardy, who I saw on television a couple of years ago and I went, “who the bloody hell is that?” And he’s proved me right.”

On the topic of the huge scope of ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ Michael Caine shed some light on his experience making it, “For me, it was incredible because the great thing about it was – and the secret of the success of this picture as opposed to those massive blockbusters out there – is the stunts and special effects are real. There is very, very little computer generated imaging in it. All these other ones you see a million people marching towards you, you know they’ve photographed ten and just kept doubling it up and up and up. In ours, when the stuntman falls off the roof, it’s a real man falling off the roof and hitting the bottom. And I think that is very important. It’s very human and I suppose the class of acting is a little better… For a start both Batman and the butler are Oscar-winners! (laughs). Gary Oldman, who’s the chief of police, nearly became one himself, do you see what I mean? So it’s a very high standard of acting, and a very high standard of reality. That’s the secret of that series, for me.”

The Dark Knight Rises official running time revealed, Liam Neeson confirmed as key cast member By David Bentley on July 3, 2012 3:02 PM (COVENTRY TELEGRAPH)

Confirming the involvement of Liam Neeson as a key part of the production, the cast confirmed by the BBFC is: Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Liam Neeson, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Aidan Gillen, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Matthew Modine, Juno Temple and Tom Conti.

Neeson's character Ra's al Ghul seemingly died in a train crash at the end of Batman Begins, so it's unclear how he features in the story but the actor has claimed he was only on set for a few hours, so it may be just a flashback.

The Dark Knight Rises hits cinemas on July 20.

Helen Mirren - Summit Entertainment has targeted Aug. 2, 2013, for the sequel to RED, its hit 2010 action-comedy loosely based on the DC Comics miniseries by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner.

• by Kevin Melrose

RED (retired, extremely dangerous) starred Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich as former CIA agents targeted for assassination because of the secrets they know. Directed by Robert Schwentke, the $60 million original exceeded Summit’s, and pretty much everyone’s, box-office expectations, grossing nearly $200 million worldwide.

Brothers Erich and Jon Hoeber returned to write the sequel, “which reunites our team of retired CIA operatives as they use their old-school style to take on a new set of enemies all across Europe.” Although there’s been no official announcement of whether Schwentke or the original stars will return, Mirren confirmed last month that she’ll reprise her role as Victoria.

Summit also set dates for director Jonathan Levine’s zombie romance Warm Bodies, with Nicholas Hoult and Theresa Palmer (Aug. 10, 2012), Louis Letterier’s Now You See Me, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson and Mark Ruffalo (Jan. 18, 2013), and Gavin Hood’s adaptation of Ender’s Game (March 15, 2013).
