From the director of 2012 and Independence Day, Roland Emmerich, White House Down is a massive action thriller starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx and Maggie Gylenhall from Sony Pictures, which is due for release in the UK in the autumn of 2013.


On 26 March 2013, at Vue Apollo Cinema in Piccadilly Circus, London - Alex Zane hosted a special preview event where the movie's star Channing Tatum was introduced to invited fans and members of the press.

In New York at the Regal Union Square theatre, they also had their own event with Good Morning America's presenter Sam Champion, presenting the state-side event with Jamie Foxx and Roland Emmerich.

Both events were linked up live via satellite so the stars and director could answer questions to both the audiences in London and New York. Then, simultaneously, they were shown, for the first time, a trailer for the film and an exclusive 8 minute preview.

As you can imagine, this was quite a technical event and Gavin was the Floor Manager in London looking after Alex and Channing along with assisting in the day's rehearsals before the live 45 minute show.

Gavin was working for Emagine Productions and Links Broadcast who provided the technical facilities for the show for Sony Pictures UK.

White House Down is out in the UK on 6 September 2013.
