NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum’s Movie Stop-Loss Gets Screened in New York
May 31, 2007
Here is a picture of Channing Tatum on the set with one of his castmates from his upcoming movie Stop-Loss.
Often unreleased movies will hold advanced screenings (generally in Los Angeles or New York) to test the audience reaction and then possibly make changes to the movie prior to the official release (if the crowd response is not what they wanted). In some cases, they will even reshoot scenes to get a more favorable reaction from an audience.
Via an IMDB poster, I have learned that Channing Tatum and Ryan Phillippe’s much anticipated movie Stop-Loss had such a screening in New York a week or so ago. Although the poster was hoping for the ending to be a little different, the person who attended the advanced movie screening thought that Stop-Loss was a very good and thought provoking film.
All of the rest of us who are not as lucky will have to wait until October to see it in the US theaters. I ran into a person who was an extra on the movie and he said that he also heard that the film may release on October 7, 2007 as I had previously posted.
The only problem with that date is that it is a Sunday and most movies don’t release on Sundays, so hopefully the movie will make an official announcement soon. And I am really hoping that they will launch their official website soon so we can get more stills from the film.
To recap, based on the information I have so far, there is a good chance that Channing’s movie Stop-Loss will release in the US some time in October and we know that the film will release internationally starting in November.
NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum’s Movie ‘Poor Things’ Will Be Lindsay Lohan’s First Project After Rehab
May 31, 2007
It seems that Lindsay Lohan IS going to be Channing Tatum’s co-star in their new movie Poor Things. As a matter of a fact, it will be her first project right after she is allowed to leave Promises in Malibu, which is conveniently right down the street from where the movie will be filming in Los Angeles, California.
People.com says the producers of Poor Things told them on Wednesday that they plan to keep Lindsay Lohan on the cast and are going to juggle the shooting schedule to accommodate her stay in rehab.
The producers, which includes acting veteran Shirley MacLaine, released a statement saying they are going comply with Lindsay’s wishes to continue working on Channing’s new dark comedy Poor Things. They are currently trying to rearrange the shooting schedule to facilitate her working at the end of the shoot to coincide with the completion of her rehabilitation.
I believe in good karma and I hope this movie gets a lot of it for continuing to support LiLo in an extremely tough time. It would have made business sense to cut her loose, but they chose to be forgiving instead.
Let’s just hope that Lindsay does whatever she has to do to recover, exits rehab a much healthier person, and does all she can to redeem herself for her sake and for the sake of everyone on the Poor Things cast and crew.

Is Channing Tatum the Next Tom Cruise? (Minus the Crazy)
May 31, 2007
No offense to mega star Tom Cruise, but it’s not news that he’s been acting a little lot weird for the past few years. Just ask Brooke Shields or Matt Lauer on the Today Show.
Regardless, the man has had a very successful career that started with a little movie called “Risky Business” circa 1983 where he and his tighty-whitety’s slide their way into the hearts of women everywhere and the eyes of film executives in Tinseltown. Some of you may be too young to remember that movie, but it launched Tom’s career.
The Detroit News posted an article today by Rachel Abramowitz of the Los Angeles Times that asks “Who’s the Next Tom Cruise?”. And it’s not just Tom Cruise they are trying to replace, the article also tries to figure out who can step into the shoes of Hollywood heavy weights like Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio (who at a ripe old age of 32 is a stone’s throw from the nursing home in Hollywood standards).
Channing Tatum is one of the prospects on the site’s list that also includes newcomers Emile Hirsch (”Lords of Dogtown”, “Alpha Dog”), Sam Worthington (”Macbeth”), James McAvoy (”The Last King of Scotland”), and Channing’s “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints” co-star Shia LaBeouf. Ms. Abramowitz says that Hollywood is betting a ton of money on these relative newcomers in the next year.
So why is anyone even looking for the next Tom Cruise? Well, it seems casting directors feel there’s been a bit of a drought and that Hollywood is ready for the next generation of leading man. They are saying that (and I could not agree with them more) it is the end of the era of the sensitive young man (ala Orlando Bloom, Josh Hartnett, Jake Gyllenhaal, even Tobey Maguire) and that they are looking to “get back to a more masculine movie star”.
Enter stage right…Channing Tatum.
Is Channing Tatum the next Tom Cruise? It’s a tall order to fill, but from what I’ve seen so far, I think this can be classified as a Mission Possible.

RUMOR OR REEL?: Lindsay Lohan’s Legal Woes Delay Filming for Channing Tatum’s New Movie ‘Poor Things’
May 29, 2007
Unless you have been living under a rock the past few days, I am sure you have heard of the alleged under-aged alcohol/drug induced car wreck, hospitalization, and subsequent run in with the law that Channing Tatum’s future costar and current rehab resident Lindsay Lohan (aka LiLo) had this past holiday weekend.
You may be saying to your self, if Lindsay is in rehab (a place, in my opinion, she desperately needs to be), how in the world is she going to start filming ‘Poor Things’ tomorrow?
Well, the film’s production company has answered that question…sort of. They are now saying that filming is going to start on Thursday instead and will film on location in Los Angeles, California for 3 weeks.
Now, Lindsay Lohan supposedly has checked herself into the Promises clinic in Malibu (the same one that Britney Spears just recently check out of) and normally residents are not allowed to leave the program for the first 30 days.
So unless the production company is going to pull a Desperate Housewives and make the rehab facility look like the movie set so they can continue filming while Lindsay gets her much-needed therapy, I am not quite sure how they are going to start filming her parts on time. Not to mention the fact that they may have trouble getting Lindsay insured on the set, because she has become such a liability.
Either they are going to have to perform some kind of movie magic or they may have to see if Sienna Miller can bail Lindsay out of this filming conflict too (like she had to recently do on Keira Knightley’s newest movie).
Only time will tell, so stay tuned to Channing Tatum Unwrapped for all of the drama that comes along with anything that has LiLo’s name tied to it.
UPDATE: TMZ.com is saying that the film’s production company is now denying the fact that LiLo even had a deal with them to act in ‘Poor Things’. They are saying that casting is not set and that they are not scheduled to start filming for a couple of weeks. OUCH!! That is a really harsh thing to say when all of the major and many minor trade publications have already reported that she had the part. Can’t make Lindsay feel very good. She really needs to get her ducks in a row (translation: get off the drugs and alcohol) if she wants to continue to have a career. There are now rumors that the part may be given to Sophia Bush, who as a very young person handled her whole divorce from Chad Michael Murray better than practically any adult I have ever met. She’s cool in my book.
