AS SEEN ON TV: Channing Tatum’s Drama ‘The Eagle’ Premieres on HBO on New Year’s Eve!!!
December 30, 2011
Thanks to Deviant Art user and fan puppeteer7 for creating the drawing above that features Channing Tatum in his Roman era drama ‘The Eagle‘!
Fans will be able to ring in the new year with Chan when the film makes its premium cable television debut on HBO and HBO GO at at 7PM Central TOMORROW!!!
If you haven’t gotten to see the film yet, here’s a synopsis…
In 140 AD, two men – master and slave – venture beyond the edge of the known world on a dangerous and obsessive quest that will push them beyond the boundaries of loyalty and betrayal, friendship and hatred, deceit and heroism…The Roman epic adventure THE EAGLE stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell and is directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald. 20 years earlier, Rome’s 5,000-strong Ninth Legion, under the command of Flavius Aquila, marched north carrying their treasured golden Eagle emblem. They never returned; Legion and Eagle simply vanished into the mists. Hearing a rumor that the Eagle has been seen in a tribal temple in the far north, Flavius’ son Marcus (Tatum), determined to restore the tarnished reputation of his father, is galvanized into action. Accompanied only by his slave Esca (Bell), Marcus sets out into the vast and dangerous highlands of Scotland – to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father’s memory, and retrieve the hallowed Eagle. Along the way Marcus realizes that the mystery of his father’s disappearance may well be linked to the secret of his own slave’s identity and loyalty – a secret all the more pressing when the two come face-to-face with the warriors of the fearsome Seal Prince (Tahar Rahim).
Fans can watch clips from the film, behind-the-scenes footage, and interviews Chan did during the US and UK press tours in the CTU video playlist for ‘The Eagle’ and you can watch the official trailer below…
You can get ‘The Eagle‘ on DVD and Blu-ray, and the movie will be available on HBO On-Demand on January 2, 2012! Want more? There’s a ton of photos from the film in the CTU Photo Gallery, and you can also learn more about the movie on its official site and official Facebook.

If you missed Chan and Jenna’s last screening on Constellation, here’s what fan Jennifer Hood had to say about her experience…
“I just wanted to say a quick thanks for having Chan and Jenna host “Jig” on Sunday. The movie was great, and I think the whole concept of an online movie theater is brilliant. The live chat with Chan and Jenna was, BY FAR, one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced!

FAN PICS OF THE WEEK: Channing Tatum Hanging with Fans During ‘The Eagle’ UK Press Tour
March 27, 2011
Each week ChanningTatumUnwrapped.com will post one or more of our favorite pictures of the uber beautiful and fan friendly Channing Tatum.
In today’s Pictures of the Week, we have some great photos that UK fans sent me after they had the opportunity to meet Chan on the streets of London and at the Waterstone’s Piccadilly book signing during ‘The Eagle‘ press tour a few weeks ago.
Here’s what James had to say about his fan encounter with Chan at the book signing…
“During Channing’s press tour in London, I got to meet him during his Eagle of Ninth book signing at Waterstone’s. The venue said that no-one was to take photos but of course Chan allowed fans to take as many photos as they wanted. It was so awesome to meet him, he was such a nice guy, chatting to each fan and even giving some of the hugs!”
Here’s some exclusive photos of fans James and Saskia at the book signing and fan Elena outside London’s Vaudeville Theatre on March 11th…
One of the things I have always loved about Chan is how incredible he is to his fans. ‘The Eagle‘ hit UK cinemas last week, so I hope you all showed your support by going to see the movie!
Big thanks to Saskia, James, and Elena for the great pics! Fans can check out tons more photos from the UK press tour in the CTU Photo Gallery.
If you have a favorite picture from this blog, our photo gallery, a picture you have made or a picture that you have found on the net that you would like me to consider, send the picture or a link to the picture to potw@channingtatumunwrapped.com and tell me why you like it. I will post it and your explanation on the blog.

Check Out New Movie Stills for Channing Tatum’s ‘The Eagle’ on UK Official Website
March 21, 2011
After a red carpet premiere in London a couple of weeks ago, Channing Tatum’s Roman epic ‘The Eagle‘ will finally hit UK theaters this week. Focus Features has added a few new production stills to the UK official site, and fans can check out Chan with his co-star Jamie Bell in the new photos below…
‘The Eagle‘ is helmed by award-winning director Kevin Macdonald, is based on the best-selling, classic 1954 teen novel by Rosemary Sutcliff, and is set in the dangerous world of second-century Britain. The film will hit UK theaters as early as this Wednesday, March 23rd, so make sure you go check it out!!!
Here’s what the UK’s Sunday Mirror had to say about the film…
“A stylishly brooding Roman adventure, The Eagle is a thrilling journey into the heart of darkness (well, Scotland). Gritty and moody, bloody and brutal, this tough and exciting Roman epic is a classic tale that is very well made … along with all the talk of ‘honour’, this Roman adventure film is driven by some beautifully staged fight scenes and succeeds in being an enjoyable Roman romp…Tatum is impressively brooding and his chaste bromance with Esca is well developed.”
