CHANNING TATUM MOVIE BYTES: ‘Dear John’, ‘Public Enemies’, ‘Fighting’, and ‘G.I. Joe’

I keep finding little snippets of information all over the internet about Channing Tatum’s films. By themselves, each piece of info would make for one very short article, but as they say, there’s power in numbers. Together, they all have become a new CTU article series I will affectionately call “Channing Tatum Movie Bytes“. Enjoy!!!

DEAR JOHN

Dear John author Nicholas Sparks is currently promoting his newest #1 New York Times best seller The Lucky One all over the country, and he recently shared insider tales about his books and movies with over 200 high school students in Northern Arkansas. From his 90 minute Q&A session we learn that ‘Dear John‘, the movie and the epic love story that Chan is filming right now in South Carolina, will be released in theaters by October 2009. If you’re a fan of the extremely popular author, CLICK HERE to read more highlights from his talk.

PUBLIC ENEMIES

MovieTickets.com spent this summer surveying thousands of movie fans to select the most anticipated movies through Summer 2009. Channing Tatum’s real-life crime drama ‘Public Enemies‘ ranked #4 overall and #2 amongst female movie-goers. With Channing Tatum, Johnny Depp, and Christian Bale all in the same cast, it definitely doesn’t take a psychic or a survey to predict they’re not going to have any trouble getting people into the theaters for this one. ‘Public Enemies‘ is set to hit US theaters on July 1, 2009, and the last I heard, they were trying to release a trailer this Winter. You can CLICK HERE to read more about the survey.

FIGHTING

Channing Tatum’s ‘Fighting‘ co-star Terrence Howard has been promoting his new album and was recently interviewed by the Australian magazine Babble Baby. In the interview, he confirms that the film is still scheduled for a Spring 2009 release, so hopefully that means that the possible purchase of Rogue Pictures by Relativity Media I mentioned in a recent article will not affect the release date of the film.**fingers crossed**

G.I. JOE: RISE OF COBRA

Uber producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura was recently interviewed by MTV.com. The ‘G.I. Joe‘ executive producer had the following to say to MTV News about some of the early scenes he’s been working on with director Stephen Sommers,

“We are in post-production, and it’s looking really good…It’s going to be really fun, and it’s going to be big…There is going to be two or three really large sequences in it that are really going to blow people away. But I think that, more than anything, what differentiates it from a lot of these big movies is that there are eight or nine very well-drawn characters.”

I hope this means we are still on schedule to see a ‘G.I. Joe‘ trailer during the holidays as we were previously promised, but rumor has it that we may have to wait until Oscar season instead. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently announced an end to a long-standing ban on movie advertisements played during their Oscar night, and it’s considered to be a big deal in the industry. Many feel that ‘G.I. Joe‘ would be a great candidate for Paramount to promote during the telecast, but nothing has been confirmed yet. The one thing we do know is that ‘G.I. Joe‘ is scheduled to hit theaters on August 7,2009.

REMINDER: Channing Tatum’s ‘Step Up 2: The Streets’ Releases on DVD in Denmark

I want to let Channing Tatum’s Fabulous Fans in Denmark know that ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘ was just released on DVD in your country this week!!!

Fans can go to MovieZoo.dk to buy the DVD and watch the trailer with Danish subtitles. You can also get more info on the Danish movie site OnFilm.dk.

What’s next for ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘?

This one’s a little harder to pin down. Different websites are showing different dates, but from what I can tell, the film will be released on DVD next month in the Czech Republic somewhere between November 14th and November 30th.

CTU NEWS: What’s New at Channing Tatum Unwrapped?

The answer to the question in the title of this post is…PLENTY!!! And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I just received a really awesome package in the mail that I think you all may be a little interested in…

Chan and Jenna just sent me a ton of autographed pics to give away to fans here at CTU!!!

The autographed ‘Stop-Loss‘ promotional photo on this post is an example of one of them and is my absolute favorite, because I had not seen it before. For that reason, I’m going to say that this one is a CTU exclusive.

Much like Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan’s careers, there is always something going on or changing here at CTU. 2009 is going to be a big year for both of them, so it’s neccessary for CTU to step it’s game up too. There’s no reason to wait for 2009 to do it, so I’m getting a head start.

I’m always on the hunt for new gadgets for the site and I change the design sometimes to hopefully make it easier for fans to find over 1000 different articles I’ve written about Chan, Jenna, and their projects in the last two years.

In addition to some tweaks to the site, I’ve been working on a new FREE program for fans that I hope you all will participate in. I’m not going to give out too many details right now, but make sure to check back later this week to get the scoop.

In the meantime, I wanted to let you all know that I recently updated the main site ChanningTatumUnwrapped.com to highlight some of the most popular articles and sections of the website.

Here’s what’s new at CTU.com (for now):

• NEW HOMEPAGE LAYOUT: Although it’s not a drastic change, you can check out the latest CTU.com article and the new featured article section at the top if the homepage. Beneath that you will also find a new “Fan Favorites” section that highlights the latest Pictures of the Week, Videos of the Week, Channing Tatum for Dummies, and Jenna Dewan articles.
• NEW JENNA DEWAN UNWRAPPED: While you’re on the homepage, don’t forget to check out the Jenna Dewan Unwrapped section in the middle of the page where you can quickly find all of the most recent articles, photos, videos, and a list of her 2008 and beyond films.
• NEW ADVANCED SEARCH: To the right of the CTU.com search box and on the side bar of each page, I have also added a new advanced search where you all have a ton more ways to be able to search through every article on the site and hopefully find whatever it is that you’re looking for faster.
• NEW ON LOCATION: In the bottom left corner of the CTU.com homepage, I have also added a “Currently Filming” section where fans can get the latest news about Channing when he is filming on locations around the world. Right now, he’s currently filming ‘Dear John’ in South Carolina and this area of the site is where you can quickly get the latest news.

The changes I mentioned above are not that huge, but the main purpose for this post is to let you all know that I do have some really cool things up my sleeve for fans that I will be announcing very soon.

Stay tuned, and I’ll let you know how you can get even more involved in the CTU: community and how you may be able to win one of those autographed pics Chan and Jenna were nice enough to send our way!!!

NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum Moves to New Talent Agency with Agent Louise Ward

As I previously mentioned in my last post, there was a rumor floating around that Channing Tatum was going to be switching talent agencies along with his well-respected, longtime theatrical agent Louise Ward.

Well, it’s not a rumor any more, because Variety has now officially announced the change. Channing is no longer with the William Morris Agency (aka WMA). He is now represented by United Talent Artists (aka UTA), one of the other big five agencies in Tinseltown.

Louise recently joined UTA after leaving WMA and brought along a client list that, in addition to Channing, also includes Julian McMahon (”Nip/Tuck”), Cobie Smulders (”How I Met Your Mother”), and Alex Frost (’Stop-Loss‘).

From what I hear, it’s a great move for both Chan and Louise, and I wish them both luck at the new agency.

CHANNING TATUM PROJECT UPDATE: ‘Dear John’, ‘Fighting’, ‘Stanford Prison Experiment’, and ‘Step Up 2’

In a recent post, I updated you all on some of Jenna Dewan’s current projects. In addition to a rumored switch from the talent agency William Morris to United Talent Artists with his long time theatrical agent Louise Ward, there’s been a lot of different things going on with Channing Tatum and his movies too. Fans can read below to get all of the latest scoop.

DEAR JOHN

Channing has been filming his romantic drama ‘Dear John‘ all over the beautiful Charleston, South Carolina beaches. In this past week alone, numerous lucky fans have seen him and the cast filming on Isle of Palms beaches on October 20th and on Folly Beach on the 23rd.

In addition to Channing playing the role of John Tyree and Amanda Seyfried playing his love interest Savannah, we recently learned that Scott Porter has also joined the cast. I initially thought he was playing the role of Tim, but have since learned that he may actually have been cast as John’s nemesis Randy.

What we do know for sure is that Henry Thomas, who famously played Elliot in E.T., has been cast in the Lasse Hallström directed love story which is based on a Nicholas Sparks novel that follows a soldier on leave (Channing Tatum) who falls for a college student (Amanda Seyfried) only to reenlist in the Army after 9/11. They are saying that Thomas plays the older man who has an affair with Savannah while John is away. Based on what I know about the storyline, I think that means Henry may have been cast in the role of Tim.

FIGHTING

The Associated Press is reporting that Relativity Media is currently in talks with Universal Studios to acquire Rogue Pictures. The sale would include Rogue’s 30-title library, four films that are set for release in 2009, and its entire development slate.

Why should this tidbit of information matter to Channing Tatum fans? I’ll try to explain…

Channing Tatum’s underground mix martial arts drama ‘Fighting‘, which also stars Oscar nominee Terrence Howard, is one of those four Rogue Pictures films that are set to release in 2009. Initially I had read that ‘Fighting‘ may be released early in 2009, but the fact that Rogue could be purchased by Relativity makes that release date a little more uncertain. We may now have to wait until later in the year to see the film.

I’m really looking forward to seeing this one, so I hope the release date ends up being sooner rather than later, but sadly that’s all up to the studio gods (whoever they end up being).

STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT

I hate to be the harbinger of bad news today, but the Stanford Daily is saying there may be a delay in another one of Chan’s potential projects. (On a side note, delays are very common in the entertainment industry, so it’s something I’m starting to get used to.)

They are reporting that the ‘Stanford Prison Experiment‘ is still in the works, but the big-screen Hollywood retelling of Stanford Professor Philip Zimbardo’s famed 1970’s prison experiment continues to hit roadblocks.

The film was originally delayed when Christopher McQuarrie, the director and co-writer of the film with Tim Talbott, went abroad to Berlin to work on Tom Cruise’s upcoming movie “Valkyrie” (a film about the assassination plot against Adolf Hitler) as a writer, producer and assistant director. Additional delays were also caused by a now settled law suit over distribution rights for the film.

With the delays hopefully behind him, McQuarrie is currently at the casting stage. He is searching for actors to play the prison guard ensemble, Professor Zimbardo, Carlo Prescott (an ex-convict and chief consultant for the experiment who has raised objections to the making of the movie) and psychologist Christina Maslach (the film’s heroine).

Despite previous rumors that Ryan Phillippe, Kieran Culkin, Paul Dano, Jesse Eisenberg, Charlie Hunnam, Ben McKenzie and Channing Tatum would be starring in the movie, no main characters have yet been completely confirmed.

The real Professor Zimbardo, a senior consultant for the movie who works closely with its writers, conducted the experiment in 1971. He assigned student volunteers to the roles of prison guards and prisoners, but the study was ended prematurely due to the intense reactions of the subjects to their roles.

Although the film was originally slated to be released in 2009, the ‘Stanford Prison Experiment‘ is currently considered to be on hold without a release date. Fan’s shouldn’t fret, because Chan has plenty of other projects in development to keep him and his fans very busy in 2009 and beyond.

STEP UP 2: THE STREETS

To end this movie update on a happier note, I want to let Channing Tatum’s Fabulous Fans in Sweden know that his highly successful dance hit ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘ was just released on DVD in your country this week!!!

Fans can CLICK HERE to buy the DVD and can get more info on the Swedish movie site LoveFilm.se.

What’s next for ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘? The film will next release on DVD in Denmark on October 28, 2008.

REMINDER: Channing Tatum’s ‘Battle in Seattle’ Premieres in 8 More US Cities

I just wanted to remind all of Channing Tatum’s Fabulous Fans in Kentucky, New York, Virginia, and Washington that his latest film ‘Battle in Seattle‘ will be premiering in some new cities in your states this TODAY!!!

‘Battle in Seattle‘ is having a limited release in the following US cities this weekend:

• Louisville, KY
• Huntington, NY
• Norfolk, VA
• Seattle, WA
• Tacoma, WA
• Bainbridge Island, WA
• Port Orchard, WA
• Port Townsend, WA

In case you don’t already know what the film is about…

Based on one of the most incendiary political uprisings in a generation, Stuart Townsend’s ‘Battle in Seattle‘ takes an in-depth look at the five days that rocked the world in 1999 as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in protest of the World Trade Organization. What began as a peaceful protest intended to stop the WTO talks quickly escalated into a full-scale riot and eventual State of Emergency that squared off peaceful and unarmed protesters against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard. Channing Tatum plays one of the outnumbered riot cops in the film.

Told through true events, ‘Battle in Seattle‘ seamlessly intertwines compelling points of view from a cross-section of society “from protesters and police to delegates and doctors” with no perspective left untold from those who intentionally or accidentally find themselves on the streets of Seattle on those last days of the millennium. Dramatic theatrical performances merge with actual footage of the event to bring these contrasting viewpoints to the screen.

‘Battle in Seattle‘ will be premiering in Juneau, Arkansas next weekend and Tucson, Arizona and Bellingham, Washington the following week.

Fans can CLICK HERE to get details on all of the cities, dates, theaters, and times where the movie is currently showing and will be premiering soon.

CTU NEWS: Happy Birthday to Fabulous Channing Tatum Fan, Liz!!!

New Jenna Dewan Photos, Interview, Casting Call, and Trailer

There’s a lot going on with our favorite starlet, so I wanted to give you all a not-so-quick update. Enjoy!!!

NEW PHOTOS OF JENNA DEWAN AT VANITY FAIR PORTRAITS EVENT

If you’ve ever met Channing Tatum’s fiancee Jenna Dewan, then you know (in addition to being gorgeous) she’s extremely down-to-earth like Chan. She’s so down-to-earth that I often lose sight of the fact that she’s a celebrity…UNTIL I see her at events that is.

Jenna looked even more stunning than ever in an adorable Burberry dress at last night’s star-studded Vanity Fair event. The magazine, in conjunction with the store Burberry, held a preview party to celebrate the opening of the “Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008″ exhibit at The Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, California.

Admittedly, I’m a little jealous. I may just have to steal her dress, bracelet, shoes, and legs while I’m at it the next time I see her. Fans can check out a ton of new photos of Jenna Dewan and the cutest little black dress ever at the event below:

NEW INTERVIEW

Below you can check out a new interview that Jenna did for Netscape.com’s Celeb Insider where we get an update on some of her upcoming movies and her thoughts on the shortage of role models for young girls today…

CELEB INSIDER: Dewan’s Heart Goes Out to Girls

At age 27, Jenna Dewan seems to have the world by the tail. Reportedly engaged (though she won’t confirm) to hunky “Step Up” leading man Channing Tatum, she has a hot career with several movies on the way, including the Tim Allen comedy, “The Six Wives of Henry Lefay” — making her transition from high school roles into young womanhood gracefully.She tells us she likes making films in which she can play strong women who impart good inspiration to young girls. Her forthcoming “Virgin on Bourbon Street” film, she says, has “a girl character that has a message.” So did her recent “Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal” cable movie, in which she played the coach who fights her team’s out-of-control bad behavior.

Her heart goes out to teen girls.

Making “Fab Five,” she says she realized things have gotten tougher out there even than when she was in high school not that many years ago.

“Kids are being given so much freedom and with that is freedom to find drugs, sex and alcohol, sooner and sooner,” notes the actress. “I have cousins who are 13 and I think, ‘Oh! I can’t watch this.’”

Part of the problem? “My take on it is, girls don’t really have a lot of good role models today. They’re looking up to starlets who are making mistakes themselves. I’m not blaming these celebrities,” she makes clear. “I’m just saying that young people are seeing all this happening and thinking it’s the norm, which is understandable.”

NEW TRAILER RELEASED FOR ‘ASSORTED NIGHTMARES: JANITOR’

A few months ago I told you all about Xbox 360’s upcoming series of eight short films where horror directors are going to create comedies.

Jenna Dewan is starring in the first film that will be released, and its called ‘Janitor’. From what I understand and can clearly see in the trailer below, this particular film is heavy on the horror and light on the comedy with a horror twist, unlike the other director’s shorts, which I’m sure will make die-hard horror buffs even more happy.

Here’s what the film short is about…

“When Jennifer (Jenna Dewan) escapes detention, she encounters the school Janitor, and quickly finds herself in the midst of his killing spree.”

Just in time for Halloween, ‘Janitor’ debuts Friday, October 31, 2008 on the Xbox Live! Marketplace, but in the meantime you can check out the scary and bloody teaser for it below…don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I will soon be posting a movie update for Channing’s films too, so stay tuned to Channing Tatum Unwrapped so you don’t miss out on any of the scoop.

As you may or may not know, Channing started filming his 2009 romantic drama ‘Dear John‘ in Charleston this week. On Monday, actress Amanda Seyfried, who plays Savannah, was shooting a scene at the College of Charleston with “Friday Night Lights” alum Scott Porter.

Channing was also spotted filming on one of Charleston’s beautiful beaches earlier this week. An onlooker had t
