33&OUT NEWS: Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum Join Forces Again in ‘Ten Year’
August 26, 2010 · Print This Article | Email This Article
The production list for Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s production company 33&Out continues to grow and grow on a weekly basis. In the past few months, they released their first film (the political documentary ‘Earth Made of Glass‘) and announced they will also produce the sci-fi film ‘Ion‘ and the drama ‘The Contortionist’s Handbook‘ with partner Reid Carolin.
I’ve been told that they have a ton of other films and film shorts in the works too (including some new projects for Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s HitRecord.org), but you can add one more named project to that list…THR is confirming a project I reported on in June. Chan and Jenna are set to produce and star in their first film together since ‘Step Up‘, and it’s a high school reunion film called ‘Ten Year‘.
Chan, Jenna, and Reid will be heavily involved in the development process and are working with Jamie Linden (who wrote the ‘Dear John‘ screenplay) and producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey of Temple Hill on the film, which is an ensemble drama about friends reuniting a decade after their graduation. Jamie will be wearing both the writer and director hats for this production.
Although the script is being written with specific actors in mind (including both Chan and Jenna), there are no deals in place for the actors and their involvement will depend on availability. The indie production also is currently assembling financing, but THR reports that the filmmakers are hoping to begin shooting in November, after Chan wraps on his romantic drama ‘The Vow‘.
Jenna tweeted the behind-the-scenes pics above when she and Chan filmed a short related to ‘Ten Year‘ this past June. The shoot included friends and fellow actors Haylie Duff, Nick Zano, ‘The Hurt Locker’s Brian Geraghty (Jenna’s ‘Love Lies Bleeding‘ co-star), and Kate Mara.
Jamie told me today that the film short they worked on was…
“…really just for fun and is an exercise in tone and style [for ‘Ten Year’]…It’s really only tangentially related to the project — the actual movie would be much more of an ensemble, and most of these scenes [in the short] aren’t even in the script.”
Jamie graciously allowed me to watch the ‘Ten Year‘ short today, and I LOVED it!!! In ten minutes, it made me both laugh and cry. More importantly, it was beyond amazing to see Chan, Jenna, and their undeniable chemistry on screen together again.
CONGRATS to Chan, Jenna, Reid, and Jamie on the new film!!! I can’t wait to bring you guys more behind-the-scenes info and to see the finished product!!
