When it comes to spinoffs of hit film trilogies like Has Fallen, it can only go two ways: for better or worse. Fans of the $500 Million trilogy are very much anticipating that the series would do justice to the franchise and become a worthy spinoff of the blockbuster films.

Mathieu Kassovitz will be starring as Vincent, who is a French Minister’s protection officer. Vincent would be working with an MI6 operative named Zara to protect the politician from a terrorist group, headed by Jacob.

Vincent and Zara would later uncover that a colleague from the security service is a mole, providing valuable security information to Jacob. The story revolves around how Vincent and Zara work together to keep Paris safe.
