Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s ‘Legend of Hell’s Gate’ and ‘Balls to the Wall’ Premiering at Newport Beach Film Festival

After a quick trip to New Orleans to visit hubby Channing Tatum for his birthday on the set of ‘21 Jump Street‘, Jenna Dewan-Tatum got back to work and tweeted a gorgeous sneak peek of today’s photo shoot with celebrity photographer Davis Factor.

The starlet has two films that will be premiering at the 2011 NEWPORT BEACH Film Festival over the next week, so fans will be able to check out her indie romantic comedy ‘Balls to the Wall‘ on SATURDAY, April 30, 2011 and her western ‘The Legend of Hell’s Gate: An American Conspiracy‘ on WEDNESDAY, May 4, 2011. Here’s more info on both films…

Jenna filmed the Penelope Spheeris-directed comedy ‘Balls to the Wall‘ in April 2010. The movie is about Ben Camelino, a struggling cartoonist who works as an I.T. guy at a boring, faceless corporation. He and Rachel (played by Jenna), his fiancé, want to get married as soon as possible. However, when Ben follows his future father-in-law into a male strip club, his life is changed forever.

After being mistaken for a new dancer and shoved on stage, Ben displays an unexpected talent for the craft. After learning that his future in-laws are broke, Ben starts performing to earn the money for the wedding and finds himself the club’s star attraction. Along the way, the limits of Ben and Rachel’s relationship are tested as Ben does all he can to give his fiance a dream wedding.

Here’s a few behind-the-scenes photos of Jenna from set…

And here’s the new trailer for the film (which pre-sold more tickets than any film in the history of the NEWPORT BEACH Film Festival’s)…

‘Balls to the Wall‘ will premiere at the NEWPORT BEACH Film Festival’s Saturday Night Centerpiece Party (presented by 944 Magazine and hosted by Stella Artois and Absolut) at Sports Club LA-Orange County.

Jenna filmed ‘The Legend of Hell’s Gate: An American Conspiracy‘ in late 2009 in north Texas, not too far from her hometown of Grapevine. Fans can CLICK HERE to check out all of great behind-the-scenes photos that Jenna shared with her fans during filming.

‘The Legend of Hell’s Gate‘ is written and directed by Tanner Beard.

After wrapping on his crime thriller ‘Son of No One‘ in New York City and before he heads to Chicago to start filming his comedy ‘Cheaters‘ in June, Chan headed home to Los Angeles. JustJared.com, Faded Youth and X17Online just posted some new pics from this past weekend showing the happy couple exercising together at LA’s Runyon Canyon (one of their favorite places) with dogs Meeka and Lulu. Check out some of the new pics below…

Jared recently interviewed Jenna and she told him what she’d like to accomplish in the next 30 years…

“I’d love to really start my humanitarian efforts with animals and kids…It’s always been ’save the animals and save the kids’ for me…I’d like to maybe have my own foundation or start that in the future.”

Fans can see even more of yesterday’s photos of The Tatums in the CTU Photo Gallery.

Next up, we have two exclusive, behind-the-scenes pics of Chan sent to me by his ‘Dear John‘ co-star Mary Rachel Dudley. She played Savannah’s mom, Mrs. Curtis, in the film and wanted to share that Chan was “such a joy to work with”. Below, you can check out her cute photos of Chan on the set of ‘Dear John‘ with director Lasse Hallström and with Mary and her beautiful family.

New Photos of Jenna Dewan-Tatum on the Set of ‘Legend of Hell’s Gate’

Jenna Dewan-Tatum recently started working on her first western, ‘The Legend of Hell’s Gate: An American Conspiracy‘, and has been really good about tweeting pics from the set.

On today’s post you can check out one of the three great photos Jenna has shared with fans over the past few days (CLICK HERE to see the other two).

This one’s definitely my favorite thus far, because it shows Jen with her equally gorgeous mom who, like a trouper, pulled an all-nighter with the cast and crew when she recently visited Jenna on the Granbury, Texas set.

The Lake Country Sun is confirming that Jenna’s new western will soon complete it’s month long filming in north Texas. Based on her tweets, it sounds like the movie is going to be action-packed and true to it’s western-era roots. She tweets…

“The scene were shooting tonight is one big gunfight, with TONS of actors! Pretty brilliant that were getting it all in 1 night…I just wanna say that bustles are amazing..insta-ass! Ladies, we gotta figure out the 2009 version.”

Writer and director Tanner Beard told the Lake Country Sun that the production is currently in their third week of filming and will wrap on November 17th. They initially started off in Boerne, Texas, moved on to Possum Kingdom, and then filmed in Erath, Palo Pinto and Hood counties.

‘The Legend of Hell’s Gate‘ is about how “Hell’s Gate” at Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas came to have it’s name and will allow fans to relive the story of how three outlaw’s expeditions and encounters through historical 1870’s Texas ended up being remembered for a lifetime.

After filming wraps, Beard told the paper that post production editing, music, and sound will take approximately four months and that the movie has an anticipated release of summer or fall of 2010.

Coincidentally, both Chan (who will complete his Roman epic ‘Eagle of the Ninth‘ in Scotland soon) and Jenna will be wrapping up filming on their current projects about the same time, and hopefully, the newlyweds will be able to spend some well-earned quality time with family and friends stateside this Thanksgiving.
