VIDEOS OF THE WEEK: Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s Dizzy Feet Interview & Missy Elliott Video
December 1, 2009
In today’s Videos of the Week, we have a new interview that ‘Step Up‘ gals Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Briana Evigan, and Sharni Vinson (who you see in the above photo taken by director Jon M. Chu with Channing Tatum in the background) did backstage with Chris Trondsen of Pacific Rim Video at the Dizzy Feet Foundation charity gala. Nichelle Thrower of the dance crew We Are Heroes also joins in the conversation before the girls go onstage at the Koday Theater in Hollywood to perform this past Sunday. Check out the new video interview below…
When Jenna started her career as a professional dancer, she worked for various famous performers such as ‘N Sync, Diddy (or whatever he’s calling himself these days), Toni Braxton, Celine Dion, Pink, Missy Elliott, Ricky Martin, and Janet Jackson, just to name a few. Thanks to a tweeter with an eagle eye who spotted Jenna in Missy Elliott’s “Gossip Folks” video, you can check her out in the video below. Enjoy!
Thanks to @kirrea for pointing out that Jenna was in the Missy Elliott video and to @partypooper101 for sending me the Youtube version of the music video!
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.

CTU EXCLUSIVE: Enter to Win a ‘Step Up 3D’ Crew Cap!!!
September 28, 2009
As far as I know (although I keep hoping they’ll surprise us), neither Channing Tatum nor Jenna Dewan are in the third installment of the extremely popular ‘Step Up‘ franchise they started in 2006. Regardless, I’ll be one of the first in line with glasses in hand to see ‘Step Up 3D‘ when it hits theaters next August.
‘Step Up 3D‘ takes the dance battling global; The story follows a passionate, tight-knit group of street dancers (featuring Rick Malambri and Sharni Vinson with the returning actors Adam G. Sevani and Alyson Stoner) who find themselves pitted against the world’s best breakdancers in a high-stakes showdown.
I just added a ton of photos from the set of the film to the CTU Photo Gallery. Also, Entertainment Tonight did a behind the scenes report for the first-ever 3D dance drama this past summer. If you missed it, you can watch the video below to get the latest scoop on the film:

‘Step Up 3D’ News, Casting Call, and Set Photos from Director Jon M. Chu
June 13, 2009
We’ve been getting a lot of visitors to CTU lately looking for info on ‘Step Up 3D‘. Although I think there’s very little chance (pretty much 0%) that Channing Tatum will be in the third installment of the ‘Step Up‘ franchise that he started with Jenna Dewan in 2006, I still follow the progress of ‘Step Up 3D‘ as it films in New York City (and Paris later in the year) via the official Twitter of director Jon M. Chu.
You can check out a slideshow of director Jon M. Chu and producer Adam Shankman’s behind-the-scenes photos from the set below…
The movie will be filming in New York through July and is holding an extras casting call today as I type this post. I just learned that Comer & Gallucio Casting has organized the casting call, and they are looking for all types and ethnicities ages 18 and over. Some specific types they are looking for include the following…
- People who can portray hip hop types
- People who know how to tango and/or have hip hop dance experience
- People with tattoos, visible piercings, funky hairstyles, hipster types, skateboarders, old school roller skaters, 18-24 year olds, college students, and more!
As I previously mentioned, the casting call is today (Saturday, June 13th). SAG members were seen from 9:30am - 10:30am (Compensation: $130.00/8hrs) and non union extras will be seen from 11:00am - 4:30pm (Compensation: $80.00/10hrs) at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle on Columbus Avenue at 60th Street in New York City. You should come dressed to be photographed.

NEWS FLASH: ‘Step Up 3D’ Starts Filming TODAY with Newcomers & Old Favorites
May 11, 2009
Although I think there’s, sadly, very little chance we’ll be seeing Channing Tatum in the third installment of the ‘Step Up‘ franchise that he started with Jenna Dewan in 2006, I still continue to follow the progress of ‘Step Up 3D‘ and often get questions about the movie from fans.
As I previously posted, director Jon M. Chu and the production crew have been working hard for months to prepare for the 3D movie that’s going to film on location in both New York City and Paris, France.
Jon has been tweeting about their progress onTwitter where he posted news about their long days scouting locations, how dance warriors/choreographers Hihat, Dave Scott, Rich & Tone, Jamal Sims have even more of his respect now, and his experience in a test shoot with 3D glasses are on his head. He even tweeted to let us know that they wrapped up the final day of rehearsals last Friday so they can start shooting principal photography today.
I also found the cute photo above with Jon and his adorable dog Monster (who looks quite at home in his own chair on set) with returning stars Alyson Stoner who reprises her role as Camille (aka Chan’s foster sister from ‘Step Up‘) and Adam Sevani who comes back in his role as Moose from ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘.
Here’s a storyline that I found on one of the casting sites for the film that will start filming today in New York City…
When the Maryland School of the Arts (MSA) goes to Paris for an international dance competition, one of the dancers - Moose - misses his flight back to Baltimore. He soon makes friends with an American away from home and a beautiful French sophisticate. They introduce Moose to the red-hot Parisan underground dance scene, and before long he is wowing the local dancers with his unique moves as they prepare for an underground dance competition. With time running out before the big event and their routine stolen by a rival crew, Moose turns to his loyal MSA crew in Baltimore for help. Can Moose, the MSA crew and the French crew pull together a new dance number at the last minute? And will it be good enough to beat the world’s best street dancers?
In addition to veterans Adam and Alyson, the film also stars newcomers Sharni Vinson as Natalie, Rick Malambri as Luke, and Stephen Boss in the role of Jason.
