Czech Republic DVD Cover for 'Step Up 2: The Streets' (aka 'Let's Dance 2: Street Dance')

I want to let Channing Tatum’s Fabulous Fans in the Czech Republic know that ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘ (aka ‘Let’s Dance 2: Street Dance’) will be released on DVD in your country some time between now and December 15th!!!

This has been the hardest DVD release to pin down by far, because every Czech site I check seems to have a different release date for the DVD for some reason. So I figured that I would just put you all on red alert that the DVD will be released soon.

Czech fans can go to Filmopolis.cz to buy the DVD prior to its release, and you can get more info on the film at the Czech movie site DVDSvet.cz.

You can also check out the subtitled Czech version of the trailer in the video below:

What’s next for ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘? The film will be released on DVD in Norway as early as December 3, 2008 or as late as December 17, 2008, depending on which website you pick.

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

October 25, 2008

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

'Dear John' Cast: Channing Tatum, Amanda Seyfried, Scott Porter, and Henry Thomas

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

Channing Tatum and Terrence Howard on the Manhattan, New York Set of 'Fighting' (September 26, 2007 - High Quality - HQ)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.

Wall Mural for Channing Tatum's 'Step Up 2: The Streets'

The beautiful mural on this post was painted by professional graffiti artist Paul Nandee to promote tomorrow’s July 15th release of the region 1 DVD for Channing Tatum’s highly successful dance movie ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘.

The mural, which Paul says took a day and a half to complete, was amazingly done completely in spray paint. He was commissioned by a marketing company to design the artwork for the mural marketing component of the campaign to promote the release of the dvd. You can go to SwankOne.com to check out even more of his work.

In addition to Paul’s mural, he believes there is a plan for murals to be put up across the US with other aerosol artists painting the same design. Fans can see how the movie is truly taking it to the streets by checking out the mural above at 1224 Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice, California. If you happen to see other murals across the US, take a photo, and I’ll make sure to add it to the CTU photo gallery.

Step Up 2: The Streets‘ director Jon Chu also just released a video today to give us a quick update on the ACDC vs. M&M Cru dance battle and to remind everyone about the DVD release. You can CLICK HERE to watch the video from Jon or you can check it out below:

Vote for Channing Tatum, ‘Step Up 2: The Streets’, and ‘Stop-Loss’ at 2008 Teen Choice Awards!!!

June 17, 2008

Channing Tatum, Ryan Phillippe, and Briana Evigan, 'Step Up 2: The Streets', and 'Stop-Loss' Nominated for 2008 Teen Choice Awards

It’s that time again my fellow Channaholics!!! They just announced the 2008 Teen Choice Awards nominees this morning, and Channing Tatum, Ryan Phillippe, Briana Evigan, ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘, and ‘Stop-Loss‘ have all been nominated for awards this year.

Channing’s on a roll…This past week he was voted the #3 Hottest Young Actor by The Movie Fanatic’s readers. Just a few months ago all of Chan’s fabulous fans here at CTU helped him win the coveted Hottest Man Alive designation, and last year we helped Channing, Jenna Dewan, and their dance hit ‘Step Up’ win a 2007 Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Dance, and Chan even sent us all a personal thank you message for all of our hard work.

Now, we all need to band together once again to help Channing and his co-stars win their categories for this year’s awards.

The Show

M&M Cru with a U
leader and teen sensation Miley Cyrus is set to host the awards show which is scheduled to air all around the world Monday, Aug. 4 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The 10th annual special will celebrate the hottest teen icons in film, television, music, comedy, sports and fashion.

2008 Teen Choice Awards

The Voting

When you vote, you can make only one choice per category, per day, per email address, but you can vote EVERY DAY, so make sure to do so. ;-D Also, they do not require you to vote for every category for your vote to count, and all of Channing’s categories are luckily on the first page of voting.


The Lineup

You can CLICK HERE to get a list of all of the categories and nominees, but here’s all of the categories that involve Chan, his co-stars, and his films:

Choice Movie Actor: Drama
Channing Tatum - Stop-Loss
Emile Hirsch - Into the Wild
Jake Gyllenhaal - Rendition
Mark Wahlberg - We Own the Night
Ryan Phillippe - Stop-Loss

Choice Movie: Drama
21
August Rush
Into The Wild
Step Up 2: The Streets
Stop-Loss

Choice Movie: Breakout Female
Ellen Page - Juno
Briana Evigan - Step Up 2: The Streets
Jurnee Smollett -The Great Debaters
Kristen Bell - Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Mila Kunis - Forgetting Sarah Marshall

So as you can see, there’s a bit of a dilemma here. Channing is going against friend and ‘Stop-Loss‘ co-star Ryan Phillippe, and his two movies ‘Step Up 2‘ and ‘Stop-Loss‘ are competing against each other too. You all can obviously vote however you choose, but I personally would have to go with Chan and Briana on this one, and then might split my votes between ‘Step Up 2‘ and ‘Stop-Loss‘.

The Mission

Here’s you’re mission if you choose to accept it…Starting today, fans can vote for their favorite Teen Choice 2008 nominees at www.teenchoiceawards.com. Winners of the coveted surfboard awards will be announced during the two-hour celebration broadcast from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA.

I’ve seen you all do it before, so I’m confident that we can work together to make sure Channing runs away with all of his categories. I can already see him standing up on that stage thanking all of his fans here at CTU. Make Mamma Chan Fan proud…Vote early and vote often for Channing Tatum and his films online at www.TeenChoiceAwards.com!!!!

Congrats to Chan, Robert, Briana, ‘Step Up 2‘ and ‘Stop-Loss‘ on their nominations!!!

NEWS FLASH: ‘Step Up 2: The Streets’ and Special Edition ‘Step Up’ DVD’s Bundled Together for July 2008 UK Release

June 14, 2008

Here’s the cover for the UK Region 2 DVD for Channing Tatum, Robert Hoffman, and Briana Evigan’s worldwide dance hit ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘.

Universal Pictures just announced that the UK DVD will actually be released one day before the Region 1 DVD in the US. UK fans can buy the new DVD on July 14, 2008, and it’s retailing for £19.99.

And to make up for the fact that the UK Region 2 DVD release of Chan’s 2006 movie ‘Step Up‘ did not include the extras we had on the US version for some reason, Universal has decided to re-release the movie with all of the goodies in a Special Edition bundle with the sequel.

The Step Up’ / ‘Step Up 2 The Streets’ Double the Dance box-set will retail for £24.99, and the special edition content on the first film includes the following:

  • Deleted Scenes
  • Bloopers
  • ‘Making the Moves’ Featurette
  • Feature Commentary by Anne Fletcher (Director Step Up / Producer Step Up 2), Hip Hop Choreographer Jamal Sims and Stars Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan
  • Music Videos:
    • “Step Up” – Samantha Jade
    • “(When you gonna) Give It Up To Me” – Sean Paul featuring Keisha Cole
    • “Say Goodbye” – Chris Brown
    • “Get Up” – Ciara

Here’s a blast from the past that I think you all will enjoy. Like ‘Step Up‘, I’ve watched this interview tons of times, and I love it every single time! Oddly enough, it’s one of the few interviews that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan did together when they were promoting ‘Step Up‘.

It’s their appearance on CBS’s The Early Show with co-anchor Rene Syler where they treated the audience by showing them some of their signature moves and gave Syler a short dance lesson on the ever-popular B-More Bounce.
