VIDEO OF THE WEEK: Channing Tatum in ‘Morgan & Destiny’s Eleventeeth Date’
February 28, 2010
As I previously posted, Channing Tatum decided to flex his comedic chops in the next installment of one of HitRECord.org’s most popular collaborations, ‘Morgan M. Morganson’s Date with Destiny‘.
HitRECord.org was started by Chan’s longtime friend Joseph Gordon-Levitt and is a place where artists and filmmakers can post their work and then collaborate with a community of users who can contribute to the work by adding their own tweaks.
The new, unfinished film short is called ‘Morgan & Destiny’s Eleventeeth Date: The Zeppelin Zoo‘ and is a sequel to ‘Morgan M. Morganson’s Date with Destiny‘. It was written by Metaphorest, and stars Chan, Lexy Hulme (aka Lula) and Joe as Lionel, Destiny, and Morgan.
Now that they’ve finished shooting the “white walls” version of the video, the HitRECord.org community will collaborate to create the remaining special effects (e.g. art work, visuals, animation, music, etc.) for the film.
Without further ado, the “white walls” version of ‘Morgan & Destiny’s Eleventeeth Date: The Zeppelin Zoo‘…
Although Chan has said he’s more comfortable in dramatic roles, I would love to see him in more comedy in the future. Until then, stay tuned to CTU and I’ll post future incarnations of ‘Morgan & Destiny’s Eleventeeth Date: The Zeppelin Zoo‘ when they’re released!
On a related note…Chan has been posting some more of his own work on HitRecord.org over the past few days. Check out an original writing, an oration of Metaphorest’s “Mister White Rabbit”, and (my favorite) a song he re-mixed when he couldn’t sleep a few nights ago. Who knew he could sing too! Make sure you check it all out!

IN THE PRESS: Jenna Dewan-Tatum is a Gap Girl on JustJared.com and PopSugar.com
February 26, 2010
Before it’s official opening, Jenna Dewan-Tatum got an opportunity to shop at The Gap’s new 1969 Jeans store on Robertson Boulevard in L.A. on Wednesday before she shot her PETA campaign on Thursday.
Jenna has been working extremely hard to get ready for her shoot. From eating healthy and depriving herself of some of her favorite dishes (anything in the Mexican food category) to working out with top celeb trainer Tracy Anderson to losing sleep as she dreamed about working out, she did everything she could to make sure she was ready for Thursday’s shoot. After which, she tweeted…
-
“Just finished the @peta ad! Had so much fun, can’t WAIT for u guys to see! A sexy steamy ad to bring awareness to the abuse of exotic animals…please think before u buy snake, python, alligator purses/shoes!!”
What made Jenna want to star in the campaign? PETA tells me that she was moved by THIS exotic skins investigation. I do want to warn you, because it’s a tough video to watch.
As I mentioned before, Jenna also participated in a little retail therapy at The Gap’s new 1969 Jeans store on Robertson Boulevard on Wednesday (along with other celebs like Kate Beckinsale, Eva Longoria, Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O’Connell, Debra Messing, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Selma Blair). Fans can read the articles and check out photos of Jenna leaving the store courtesy of JustJared.com and Popsugar below…

New UK Release Date, Official Site, and Trailer for Channing Tatum’s ‘Dear John’
February 25, 2010
Channing Tatum’s UK fans now have a solid release date for ‘Dear John‘, his latest film that recently landed on US shores with a huge band by blasting ‘Avatar’ out of it’s 7 week #1 spot!!!
The movie tells the story of John (Channing Tatum), a young soldier home on leave and Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried), the idealistic college student he meets during her spring vacation. It’s based on a Nicholas Sparks’ best-selling book, helmed by Lasse Hallström, written by Jamie Linden, and wrapped filming in the Charleston, South Carolina area in December of 2008.
‘Dear John‘ is now set to hit UK theaters on April 14, 2010 and fans can get more info on the film on their new UK official site. You can also watch the recently released UK ‘Dear John’ trailer below…
In case you haven’t already, fans can check out tons of photos from the film in the CTU Photo Gallery and can watch trailers and cast interviews on CTU’s Youtube channel.
What’s up next for ‘Dear John‘? The movie is being released in theaters in Singapore, Russia, and Puerto Rico THIS WEEK and will be released in Australia and Korea NEXT WEEK. Fans can CLICK HERE to view future release dates for other countries.

Channing Tatum Hits Record with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s New Site
February 23, 2010
Before Channing Tatum left to film Steven Soderbergh’s spy thriller ‘Knockout‘ overseas and WAY before his Roman drama ‘Eagle of the Ninth‘ hits the big screen this fall, fans are going to get to see him in a much smaller, but equally important production, with longtime friend Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Five years ago, Joseph began the site hitRECord.org, where artists and filmmakers can post their work and then collaborate with a community of users who can contribute to the work by adding their own tweaks. He uses his position in the traditional entertainment industry to turn that creativity into money-making productions and then shares any profits with the contributing artists.
When I talked to Chan about HitRecord recently, he had nothing but good things to say about the site. In addition to joining the community and posting his own original content, Chan decided to flex his comedic chops in the next installment of one of the sites most popular collaborations, ‘Morgan M. Morganson’s Date with Destiny‘.
‘Morgan M. Morganson’s Date with Destiny‘ was screened at the 2010 Sundance Festival and is what Joe shows people when they ask “What is hitRECord?”.
The way it was created is definitely unconventional…
One user in the community proposed a writing exercise. In response to the challenge, user Metaphorest created a short story that inspired everything else. Joe read the story aloud, another user started drawing the characters, someone else animated the drawings, Joe and user Lula did a live-action rendition, and another community member created the amazing visuals.
In the end, roughly 180 contributions from throughout the HitRecord community contributed to a video that earned two planned screenings at Sundance and was added as a short film to play before the award-winning feature ‘Homewrecker’ during this year’s festival. You can check out ‘Morgan M. Morganson’s Date with Destiny‘ below…
Joe announced this week that he’s currently editing the sequel to the film short above, which is titled ‘Morgan & Destiny’s Eleventeeth Date: The Zeppelin Zoo’. The film short was written by Metaphorest, and stars Chan, Lexy Hulme (aka Lula) and Joe as Lionel, Destiny, and Morgan.
Stay tuned to CTU and I’ll post Chan’s latest film as soon as it’s released!

VIDEOS OF THE WEEK: ‘Dear John’ Press Tour and ‘Step Up’ Favorites
February 19, 2010
Most of today’s Videos of the Week are related to Channing Tatum’s highly successful new movie ‘Dear John‘, which released in the US, Canada, and a few other countries on February 5th, just released in South Africa today, and has a sneak preview in Indonesia this weekend before it’s official February 25th debut in that country.
We also have a video that was submitted by Fabulous Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum fan Trecia T., and it’s an oldie, but goodie, from their ‘Step Up’ days. Enjoy!
First up, we have what is hands downs my #1 favorite interview that Chan and co-star Amanda Seyfried did during the ‘Dear John’ press tour.
It was done on the Toronto leg of the tour, and you may recognize interviewer Jessi Cruickshank from “The Hills”, “The City”, and “Laguna Beach” after shows on MTV. I’ve learned that you can always count on Jessi for a laugh, and this interview was no different…
One of the questions I see most often from fans is “What is that song in the ‘Dear John’ trailer?”. As most of you now know, the main song in the trailer is Snow Patrol’s “Set the Fire to the Third Bar” featuring Martha Wainwright. The film released a music video for the song with footage of Chan and Amanda from the movie. Fans can watch it below…
After Chan’s hilarious Chelsea Lately interview, he headed on over to Rogue for Jonesy’s Jukebox for a much more laid back interview with Steve Jones, the co-founder of the Sex Pistols (a popular 70’s rock group). Listen in as they talk about Chan’s provocative interview with Chelsea Handler, his love for football, the south, becoming an actor, and everything in between…
In this last ‘Dear John’ video, we have a quick PopSugar report on their coverage of the San Fransisco press tour stop where Chan and Amanda made fans really happy by passing out lots of hugs at the event and where Chan first introduced fans to his new site PostThelove.com.
You even get a glimpse of Chan’s friend and business partner Reid who was there to get footage for the Post The Love “I Love You” video that Chan made for fans to help launch the site (which has well over 6000 thousand members)…
Chan’s press tours have gotten so huge over the past three years, that it’s impossible for me to cover every single interview, but here’s a few more that I thought you might like…
- Soho New York Apple Store Q&A with Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried (Free iTunes Download)
- Y 98.1 in Illinois Radio Interview (MP3)
- Backstage.com Interview: “‘Dear’ Destiny”
- Collider.com Interview: “Channing Tatum Interview DEAR JOHN, Plus Info on Dito Montiel’s SON OF NO ONE and THE EAGLE OF THE NINTH”
- The Finer Dandy Interview: “Channing Tatum is a no-limit soldier…of love”
- Parade.com Interview: “Channing Tatum: ‘I’ve Been Dumped More Times Than I Care to Remember’”
- Vancouver Sun Interview: “Channing Tatum describes how he lost it in Dear John, a movie he insists is not a chick flick”
If you missed any of my articles on the press tour, no worries. You can CLICK HERE to read all of them and HERE to check out hundreds if photos from the entire tour.
Last, but definitely not least, we have the Ciara Featuring Chamillionaire - Get Up music video submitted by fan Trecia, and here’s what she had to say about why she loves this video…
- “I really like this video because well, for obvious reasons, both Channing and Jenna are in it! =D I still remember the first time I’ve ever watched this video. It was when “Step Up” was released back in 06′ and was making a huge splash on Asian shores. Then, one day, while I was flipping through some channels on TV, and I saw this video. I didn’t know who Chan and Jen were back then, and I remember thinking, “oh, who’s that cute guy in the video? And both of them can really dance!”…I almost gave “Step Up” a pass but this video made me change my mind! What with the black outfits and dancing in the rain, they make dancing so damn sexy! So, I watched the film and guess what? I totally fell head over heels in love with it. I bought the DVD and the soundtrack, and you don’t even want to know the number of times I have watched this film. (hint: Its a 2 digit number!) Anyway, all I want to say is, if its not because of this video, I would have missed out on a great film and I won’t be typing this out at this very moment. =)”
BIG thanks to Trecia for your submission!! If you have a favorite video that you would like me to consider, send a link to the video to votw@channingtatumunwrapped.com and tell me why you like it. I will post it and your explanation on the blog.
