UNWRAPPED PHOTOS: First Look at Channing Tatum on the Toronto Set of ‘The Vow’

After going straight to No. 1 on the US DVD sales charts, Channing Tatum’s highly-successful romantic drama ‘Dear John‘ has officially done the same in the United Kingdom, where is was released on DVD last week. While ‘Dear John‘ continues to tackle the charts both in the US and globally, Chan is moving on to his next romance…

Channing Tatum and co-star Rachel McAdams (’The Notebook‘) started filming their romantic drama ‘The Vow‘ in Toronto yesterday. The film is based on a true story about a young woman (played by Rachel) who loses all recent memory in a car accident and struggles to rebuild her identity and remember her husband (played by Chan). Scott Speedman will potentially play McAdams’ former fiance, with whom she begins to rekindle a romance in her amnesiac state.

Thanks to Channing-T.com, Popsugar, and Just Jared we have the very first pics from set, and you can CLICK HERE to check them all out on my latest post in the CTU Photo Gallery!

33&OUT NEWS: Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum Join Forces Again in ‘Ten Year’

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!!

CASTING NEWS: Scott Speedman May Join Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams in ‘The Vow’

I may be dating myself here, but when I was growing up I was a HUGE fan of the show “Felicity“. I loved Keri Russell, who played the main character Felicity Porter, but I will admit that a big part of my obsession with the show had a lot to do with her on-again, off-again, on-again adorable boyfriend Ben Covington who was played by Scott Speedman (’Underworld’, ‘Adoration’, ‘The Strangers’). For you young bucks, “Felicity” was kind of like a collegic-level “Gossip Girl” with a smaller wardrobe budget and a late 90’s era angst.

So what does my college celeb crush have to do with Chan? Well…THR is reporting that Scott is in negotiations to join Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams’ romantic drama ‘The Vow‘.

The film is based on a true story about a young woman (played by ‘The Notebook’s Rachel McAdams) who loses all recent memory in a car accident and struggles to rebuild her identity and remember her husband (played by Chan). Speedman will potentially play McAdams’ former fiance, with whom she begins to rekindle a romance in her amnesiac state.

‘The Vow‘ is the real-life story of Arizona couple Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, which is chronicled in a book called “The Vow: The Kim and Krickitt Carpenter Story‘ and dates from 1993, two months after their marriage, when their car was hit from behind by a truck.

Here’s a description of the book that the film is based on…

“Life as Kim and Krickitt Carpenter knew it was shattered beyond recognition on November 24, 1993, two months after their marriage, when their Ford Escort was hit from behind by a fast-moving truck. A massive head injury left Krickitt in a coma for weeks. When she finally emerged from the coma, she recognized her parents and everyone else — but she didn’t know Kim. She had no idea who he was. The ‘Krickitt’ Kim had married essentially died in the accident. The Vow is the true tale of the reconstruction of two lives and a marriage after an event so shattering that most others would have parted ways long ago. Though it was not easy, and it tested every fiber of who they were, Kim and Krickitt fell in love all over again.”

Screen Gems Studios (a Sony-based shingle) will co-finance with Spyglass Entertainment and will also distribute the Michael Sucsy-directed film. Spyglass’ Roger Birnbaum, Gary Barber, and Jonathan Glickman are producing ‘The Vow,’ and Sucsy, who directed HBO’s award-winning film ‘Grey Gardens’, is rewriting the script. The production will start filming in Toronto, Canada in September.

I was already excited about this film, and casting just seems to keep getting better and better. From Chan to Rachel to Scott, this is one set I would LOVE to visit!!! Even if I don’t make it to set, I can’t wait for the press junket and/or premiere!
