For those who don’t know…’American Virgin‘, from the creator of Legally Blonde, is the story of Priscilla White (played by Jenna), a young woman who is smart, sexy and pure as the driven snow. She’s a poster girl for the Can’t Hurry Love abstinence-before-marriage group, vowing to stay true until she marries her high school sweetheart.
But when Priscilla gets to college on a scholarship, she finds herself rooming with Naz, a flashy and precocious party girl extraordinaire who’s determined to make her 7th year of school the most outrageous yet.
Wanting her to fit in her new surroundings, Naz drags Priscilla into the social whirl until one disastrous party finds her waking up with more than just a hangover to worry about. This American virgin discovers that in her drunken debauchery, she was star performer in a jaw-dropping audition for Crazy Ed (Rob Schneider) the wild, eccentric producer of the infamous hit cable show Chicks Go Crazy.
With a permanent video record of her antics speeding their way across the country, Priscilla grabs her friends for a riotous, hilarious pursuit to reclaim the incriminating footage and her dignity before the whole country sees what shes really got to offer.

Channing Tatum’s wife Jenna Dewan is currently busy studying her scripts and filming the nighttime drama “Melrose Place“. US fans have to wait until episodes 7 and 8 later this season to check out Jenna in her new role, but UK fans get to see Jenna in one of her latest movies even sooner.
Jenna Dewan stars in the teen comedy ‘American Virgin‘ with veteran comedian Rob Schneider and fans in the UK will be able to get the film on DVD and Blu-ray next month.
‘American Virgin‘ is about a freshman college girl named Priscilla White (played by Jenna). After involuntarily over indulging and becoming drunk for the first time in her life, she discovers her sinful shenanigans have been caught on camera by a shoddy video producer (played by Rob Schneider). With her scholarship for college coming from an abstinence group who believe in no sex before marriage, it’s a race against time and across country as she and her friends attempt to retrieve the potentially damaging footage before it’s exposed.

Hollywood Spy also recently posted an article about one of Jenna’s upcoming projects. Her 2010 live action film ‘Magdalena‘ is based on a popular Top Cow comic book. In the film, Patience (Jenna) discovers that she’s a part of the lineage of female warriors descended from Mary Magdalene who fight supernatural evil. The film also stars Luke Goss who plays Kristof, an agent sent by the secret organization that has been the guardian of the Magdalena lineage.

ON LOCATION: Jenna Dewan’s ‘Virgin’ Films at the University of Michigan
November 18, 2008
CTU recently had a large influx of vistors from the University of Michigan, and initially, I wasn’t sure why. Then, I found an article posted at The Ann Arbor Newsx that explained everything.
As CTU readers know, Channing Tatum’s fiancee Jenna Dewan is filming her comedy ‘American Virgin‘ (previously known as ‘Virgin on Bourbon Street‘) in Michigan, and from the article, we learn that the production has been filming on the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan, thus the large influx of new visitors from those parts.
Fans can check out the article below to learn how filming went and to get a few more details about the movie…
Ann Arbor Scene of Filming for New Rob Schneider Movie
by Jenn McKee | The Ann Arbor Newsx
Tuesday November 18, 2008
“The University of Michigan’s Ingalls Mall is transformed into a movie set Tuesday morning as part of the filming for the new Rob Schneider film “The Virgin on Bourbon Street.”
On a biting cold Tuesday morning, around the fountain on the Ingalls Mall on the University of Michigan’s Central Campus, a 20-person crew for the new Rob Schneider film “The Virgin on Bourbon Street” faced a somewhat unexpected task.
In addition to setting up cameras and hooking up other equipment, the bundled-up crew found themselves using brooms to clear snow from the bushes that flank an entrance to the Michigan League.
“It’s supposed to be fall, not winter,” explained producer Jason Price.
Won’t the actors’ breath be visible?
A University of Michigan sign is temporarily covered up with a Pennington College sign for the movie filming.”That’s OK,” said Price. “It’s an early, cold fall. We just don’t want the snow yet.”
Though the crew has filmed in different Detroit locations over the last few weeks, Tuesday was their first shooting day in Ann Arbor, and they’ll likely shoot locally for one or two more days.
The scene shot on the mall involves actress Jenna Dewan (”Step Up”), who’s arriving at college.
“She’s kind of a fish out of water,” said Price. “She’s from a small town in the middle of nowhere, and she arrives, and she sees the beautiful architecture of this college, the buildings - it’s a really nice campus.”
Dewan plays a good-girl student, Priscilla, who’s earned a college scholarship from an abstinence group called “Can’t Hurry Love.” When her wild-girl roommate Naz (Brianne Davis of “Prom Night”) leads her into a night of debauchery, which includes an appearance in a “Girls Gone Wild”-like video, Priscilla must track down the man behind the tawdry series (played by Schneider).
Price estimates that the film, directed by Clare Kilner (”The Wedding Date”), will be released in theaters in approximately one year, and noted that most of the film crew, and several actors, are Michigan-based…”

‘VIRGIN ON BOURBON STREET’ / ‘AMERICAN VIRGIN’ CASTING CALLS
Via a recent interview that director Clare Kilner had with one of the local Detroit news affiliates we learn that Jenna Dewan’s film ‘Virgin on Bourbon Street‘ has a new name for the time being.
Why the potential name change? Well, the director says that the original plan was to have Detroit’s Greektown stand in for New Orleans. The script was eventually reworked to actually take place in Detroit, so they are now using the working title ‘American Virgin‘.
The movie has been filming for a few weeks now in the Detroit area, and despite the chilly temperatures, hordes of extras came out and worked (many for free). Some received prizes for their time, including electronics donated locally by ABC Warehouse, which line producer Marvin Towns Jr. says will get product placement in the finished film.
The film has released two more casting calls for even more paid and unpaid extras next week. Read below for more details:
UNPAID EXTRAS CASTING CALL
Although there is no financial compensation for participation as a movie extra, scenes will be

Comedian Rob Schneider plays Curtzman, the entrepreneur behind a “Girls Gone Wild”-type franchise called “Chicks Go Crazy.” Jenna Dewan plays Priscilla, the virgin in the film’s title, who after a fun night out with friends finds herself on one of Curtzman’s tapes and then teams with Naz, her wild-child roommate played by Brianne Davis, to track down the tape.
