Jamie Foxx is in talks to play the President of the United States in Roland Emmerich's White House Down, Deadline reports. He'd join Channing Tatum in the big screen action thriller.
The film, written by James Vanderbilt (The Amazing Spider-Man), is set up at Sony Pictures and is said to feature a para-military takeover of the White House.
Foxx can soon be seen in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, playing the title character in the Christmas day release.
Mythology Entertainment partners Bradley Fischer, Vanderbilt and Laeta Kalogridis will produce White House Down, planned to hit theaters on November 1, 2013.
Maggie Gyllenhaal is in talks to play a Secret Service agent in Roland Emmerich's White House Down, Variety reports. She'd join Channing Tatum and (also in talks) Jamie Foxx in the big screen action thriller.

Following Warner Bros.' move to push Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby from this December to next summer, Sony Pictures has also moved up Roland Emmerich's White House Down more than four months from November 1, 2013 to June 28, 2013.
20th Century Fox's The Internship and Universal's R.I.P.D. are also scheduled for June 28.
White House Down stars Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Woods, Richard Jenkins and Joey King and concerns a para-military takeover of the White House.
The film has a similar theme as Antoine Fuqua's Olympus Has Fallen, starring Aaron Eckhart and Gerard Butler. That project is about an ex-Secret Service agent who must defend the White House from terrorists, so Sony might be trying to hit theaters first.
Two new international posters for Roland Emmerich's upcoming White House Down are now online, courtesy of CineFan, and can be viewed below.
Starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jason Clarke, Richard Jenkins and James Woods, the Columbia Pictures release follows Capitol Policeman John Cale (Tatum), who has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer (Foxx). Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation's government falling into chaos and time running out, it's up to Cale to save the president, his daughter, and the country.
