We hear that some of the cast of the new White House hostage thriller "Olympus Has Fallen" will be coming through town next week. Actor Gerard Butler, who plays an ex-Secret Service agent, will be joined in D.C. by Aaron Eckhart, portraying the president, and Angela Bassett, the movie's Secret Service head. Filmmaker Antoine Fuqua will also be on hand. Also in the movie is Ashley Judd, playing the first lady, who did her own tour of Washington last week, though she didn't let slip whether or not she'd run for U.S. Senate in Kentucky.
