NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum Chosen for Dito Montiel’s ‘The Brotherhood of the Rose’
January 30, 2009
One of Channing’s favorite directors to work with is Dito Montiel. Dito directed Channing in 2006’s ‘A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints‘ and his upcoming action film ‘Fighting‘ that will be released in theaters on April 24, 2009 and some may even say Chan’s somewhat of a muse to the talented director.
At this point, Chan and Dito almost have a sort of shorthand when they communicate on set, and the two work together extremely well. That’s why I was happy to read on Variety.com that Channing Tatum has been chosen to star in a new movie called ‘The Brotherhood of the Rose‘, an adaptation of the David Morrell novel for Warner Brothers.
Montiel is re-writing an earlier draft of the script from Adam Cozad and will also direct the film. Basil Iwanyk (’Clash of the Titans‘) is producing the movie through his Thunder Road banner.
The story is a cat-and-mouse espionage tale about two orphans raised by a top CIA agent to become assassins. When their operations go awry, they find themselves on the run, caught in a conspiracy and hunted by the most dangerous spies in the world. The book was previously adapted as a two-part NBC miniseries in 1989 that starred David Morse, Peter Strauss, Connie Sellecca, and Robert Mitchum.
Industry folk are saying the project signifies the fact that Warner Brothers is trying to start their own Bourne-style spy thriller franchise, so I feel this new role definitely moves Channing up yet another notch on the action hero meter.
‘The Brotherhood of the Rose‘ is currently set to hit theaters some time in 2010.
Congrats to Chan for landing yet another great role!!! He has so many movies in the works that it can be hard to keep track. Fans can CLICK HERE to get a complete list of his past, current, and future projects.

New Promotional Photos from Channing Tatum’s ‘Public Enemies’
January 28, 2009
Although we’ve seen some of the new photos below in recent Empire Magazine and Entertainment Weekly articles that featured the film, Universal just released high quality versions of the promotional photos for Channing Tatum’s highly-anticipated historical drama ‘Public Enemies‘.
Set during the Depression-era’s great crime wave, ‘Public Enemies is the story of the government’s attempt to stop legendary criminals John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd. This operation transformed the FBI into the first federal police force from the powerless agency it once was. In addition to Channing Tatum, the star-studded cast includes Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Billy Crudup, Leelee Sobieski, Giovanni Ribisi, David Wenham, Stephen Graham, Emilie de Ravin, Marion Cotillard, and Stephen Dorff.
You can click on the images below to view and download the high quality promotional stills:
Here’s Universal’s plot outline for ‘Public Enemies‘ where Channing Tatum plays hardcore criminal Pretty Boy Floyd who is hunted down by Christian Bale’s character Melvin Purvis…
“In the action-thriller ‘Public Enemies‘, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Channing Tatum, and Academy Award® winner Marion Cotillard in the incredible and true story of legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger (Depp), the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoovers fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Bale), and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public.
No one could stop Dillinger. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone, from his girlfriend Billie Frechette (Cotillard) to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillinger’s gang, later including the sociopathic Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham), thrilled many, Hoover (Billy Crudup) hit on the idea of exploiting the outlaw’s capture as a way to elevate his Bureau of Investigation into the national police force that became the FBI. He made Dillinger America’s first Public Enemy Number One.
Hoover sent in Purvis, the dashing “Clark Gable of the FBI”. However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis’ men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) who were real gunfighters and orchestrating epic betrayals from the infamous “Lady in Red” to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nittiwere Purvis and the FBI able to close in on Dillinger.”
‘Public Enemies‘ will release in US theaters on July 1, 2009 and we’re hoping to see a trailer for the film in the next few months. Fans can CLICK HERE to get a list of the international release dates for the film.
