After attending numerous different pre-oscar bashes, Jenna headed on over to Santa Fe, New Mexico to visit husband Channing Tatum as he films Steven Soderbergh’s action-revenge spy thriller ‘Knockout‘.

CASTING CALL: New York City Auditions for Channing Tatum’s ‘Son of No One’
March 4, 2010
Dito Montiel (i.e. the director of Channing Tatum’s past and future films ‘A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints’, ‘Fighting‘, ‘Brotherhood of the Rose‘, and ‘Son of No One‘) has sent out another casting call for the next movie that Chan will film.
‘Son of No One‘ is currently in pre-production and will start filming in New York City very soon. This Sunday the production will be holding an open call for boys and girls of any race who can pass for ages 14 through 16. No experience is necessary, but please only attend the open call if you fit the age appearance requirement.
The open call will take place at Kaufman Astoria Studios on March 7th at 3412 36th Street in Queens between 12 and 4pm. You can CLICK HERE for directions. Minors MUST bring a parent or legal guardian with them to the casting call.
Last I heard, ‘Son of No One‘ is supposed to film in New York City, Toronto, and Detroit and is about a young cop named Jonathan White (played Channing Tatum) who is assigned to a precinct in the working class neighborhood where he grew up, and an old secret threatens to destroy his life and his family. In addition to Chan and his ‘Fighting‘ co-star and Oscar nominee Terrence Howard (who plays Vinny), the cast also includes James Gandolfini (Sergeant Mathers) and Al Pacino (Detective Stanford).
Here’s the full synopsis for the film…
- “Jonathan White had a rough childhood. His father, a cop, was killed in the line of duty, and Jonathan was raised by his grandmother in the Queensbridge Projects in Queens, NY. He had a lot of friends, and he was the only white kid, so they called him Milk. Milk and his closest friends were going to start a hardcore punk band and become stars like their favorite band, MDC (Millions of Dead Cops). But fate intervened. Milk and his friends were always hassled by a couple of neighborhood junkies, until one day Milk had enough and killed one of the junkies. Later, they were forced to kill the second junkie to avoid being caught. But the police knew more than they publicly let on. Detective Stanford (Al Pacino) approaches young Milk and tells him he doesn’t have to worry about getting caught. His dad was Stanford’s partner, which makes them like family. Sixteen years later, Jonathan lives in Long Island with his wife Kerry White, and their beautiful daughter. Like his father, Jonathan is a cop, assigned to the Queensbridge projects where he grew up. 9/11 has caused the neighborhood to change, and real estate developers work closely with the police on a project called “Quality of Life”, an effort to rid the neighborhood of junkies and homeless people. For Jonathan, the changes become personal when a rabble-rousing newspaper publishes a letter from an unnamed source, which describes the details of sixteen-year old murders that were never solved because the police didn’t care. Jonathan’s world is thrown into a tailspin as the letters continue and Sergeant Mathers (James Gandolfini) asks him to give the newspaper editor a visit. The editor, an aging hippie named Roger Daltry, is determined to find out more about the unsolved murders. Jonathan researches his old friends to see if they’re behind the letters. Many are dead, or have been relocated due to the Quality of Life project. He’s pretty sure the culprit is Vinny (Terrence Howard), his closest friend. Vinny had a troubled upbringing, and he and Jonathan shared many secrets. Vinny spent some time in jail, and still lives at home with his mom. Jonathan’s paranoia intensifies when he finds his work locker unlocked, with a copy of the newspaper inside. In the newspaper is a brand new letter about the murders. Kerry begins receiving threatening phone calls, and Mathers pressures him to silence Daltry. Jonathan confronts his old friend, but can’t be sure if he has anything to do with the letters.”
The crime thriller will be released some time in 2011. As always, I’ll let fans know when I learn about any future casting calls. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

February 15, 2010
While Channing Tatum’s newly released romantic drama ‘Dear John‘ continues to do well at the domestic box office (making well-over $53 million in the first week), remains a top topic of conversation on Twitter, and begins to release overseas, his numerous other projects continue to march on.
I found a few bits of news about Chan’s past and future films ‘Step Up‘ , ‘Eagle of the Ninth‘, ‘Son of No One‘, and ‘Knockout‘ this past week. Check out today’s Movie Bytes to get the latest scoop. Enjoy!!!
STEP UP
Channing Tatum’s and Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s 2006 dance hit will premiere on ABC Family this week. Since the two tied the knot last July, we all now know for sure that the sparks between Chan and Jenna weren’t just acting. Although they didn’t start dating until after the film wrapped, fan’s can watch the two fall in love for real on Sunday, February 21 at 8:30/7:30 Central. You can also CLICK HERE for more details.
EAGLE OF THE NINTH
In addition to the official Facebook page, Focus Pictures just launched an official site, announced a release date, and released the first trailer (which plays before ‘Dear John‘) for Channing Tatum’s Roman drama ‘The Eagle of the Ninth‘.
For those who don’t know, the movie is helmed by award-winning director Kevin Macdonald and is based on the best-selling, classic 1954 teen novel by Rosemary Sutcliff, and is set in the dangerous world of second-century Britain.
In 140 AD, twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (played by Channing) arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth. Accompanied only by his British slave Esca (Jamie Bell), Marcus sets out across Hadrian’s Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia - to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father’s memory, and retrieve the lost legion’s golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth. Donald Sutherland portrays Marcus’ uncle Aquila, who has retired in Britain; Mark Strong is cast as Guern, an ex-soldier who holds crucial information about the Ninth.
Make sure you fan the Facebook page to get the latest photos, videos, and scoop on the film, which is now set to hit theaters in September 24, 2010. Fans can also CLICK HERE to see even more photos from the film in the CTU Photo Gallery.
SON OF NO ONE
Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Channing Tatum’s dramatic thriller ‘Son of No One‘ just acquired a new distributor overseas. Here’s what Deadline Hollywood’s founder and editor Nikki Finke had to say about the film’s status and casting…
- “Channing Tatum’s weekend success in Dear John comes at an auspicious time, as Nu Image takes over world sales agent duties in Berlin on what it says is his Son Of No One. Though UTA says there’s no deal yet with its client, Channing is the draw in a drama that reunites him with writer/director Dito Montiel, with whom he made Fighting and A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints. The Montiel-scripted thriller is about a young cop who is at odds with his superiors and fellow officers over a murder cover-up. NuImage says Tatum’s co-stars would be Katie Holmes, Terrence Howard, Ray Liotta and Al Pacino. Shooting begins April in New York. Hannibal Pictures put the pic together, with Millennium Films as producer.”
In a recent Collider.com interview, Chan had this to say about the film when asked if his next Dito Montiel film was totally different from ‘A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints’…
- “It’s Saints-esque really. It’s like the grown-up “Saints.” Where “Saints” focused in on the kids, it’ll be flip-flopped. It’ll be focused on adults this time with kids as well. Look, that guy’s lived a crazy life and he’s known a lot of crazy people and this will be a true story or pieces of it, and it’ll be insane - (Robert) DeNiro, Ray Liotta, I don’t know if Terrence Howard is going to be in it, I think he might, and a bunch of other people with some really strong personalities coming in. It’s like a psycho cop New York thriller and it’ll be Dito-esque again. With “Fighting,” we just tried to go and do something fun, and then this is him going back and swinging for the fence again into his crazy mind. It’s an independent film so he’ll be allowed to do whatever he wants.”
‘Son of No One‘ is currently scheduled to be released in 2011.
KNOCKOUT
As Chan posted in his Post The Love Valentine’s Day message to fans, he’s headed off to Dublin, Ireland to shoot Steven Soderbergh’s action-revenge spy thriller ‘Knockout‘. In case you missed it, here’s Chan V-Day message to fans…
- “My love goes out all this beautiful day of love!! So sorry I’ve been gone for the last few days. Things have been crazy with the film and I had to get ready to go to dublin for a new job. that will take me away from the ones I love in my life. Especially my wife, sorry baby. Anyways I will be post more soon. Love you guys.”
The movie will star Mixed Martial Arts champion and non-actor Gina Carano in the lead role as a black ops spy that is betrayed by her team. Chan (who will also film some of ‘Knockout‘ in Barcelona, Spain) will play one of the elite specialists on Carano’s team named Aaron — a military gearhead-type who’s sent to try and bring her back in once she’s been double-crossed and gone rogue; trying to figure out who exactly is setting her up. But there is no love lost between the characters which makes his mission more difficult.
The movie also stars Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, and Michael Fassbender and is scheduled to hit theaters some time in 2010 or 2011.

NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum Headed for the Streets of New York for ‘Son of No One’
November 19, 2009
I recently reported that Channing Tatum will be starring in the crime thriller ‘Son of No One‘ (set to be released in 2011), his latest drama with writer/director Dito Montiel, and now I have a few more details on the who, what, when, and where for the film production.
The estimated $20 million actioneer is in the pre-production phase and principal photography (aka filming) is currently scheduled to start on February 2, 2010 (right around the time Chan will be wrapping up promotions for his movie ‘Dear John‘).
In addition to filming on location in New York City (which I totally pegged as a potential location in my last post about the film), the production will reportedly be making some stops in Detroit, Michigan and Toronto, Ontario in Canada.
It’s an understatement to say that Dito Montiel is drawn to New York City much like ducks are drawn to water. After filming both ‘A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints’ and ‘Fighting‘ in New York, it’s clear that the city he grew up in seems to be his favorite directorial playground. From the South Bronx to Queens to Canal Street and more, fans can check out the beauty that is New York through Dito’s eyes in the CTU Photo Gallery.
‘Son of No One‘ is about a young cop named Jonathan White (played Channing Tatum) who is assigned to a precinct in the working class neighborhood where he grew up, and an old secret threatens to destroy his life and his family.
The cast is definitely shaping up for this one…Chan will be joined by his ‘Fighting‘ co-star and Oscar nominee Terrence Howard (Vinny), James Gandolfini (Sergeant Mathers) and the incomparable Robert De Niro (Detective Stanford).
Sadly, it’ll be a while before we can see Chan in this new film, but fans in the UK can watch him in his 2008 drama ‘Stop-Loss‘ on Sky Screen 2 at 5:25 PM on November 20th and Sky Movies Drama at 11:00 PM on December 10th. Fans in the US can also watch Chan’s movie ‘Havoc’ on IFC at 7:00 PM Central on November 21st and 1:30 AM Central on November 22nd.

NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum to Star in Dito Montiel’s Newest Movie & Nominated for People’s Choice Award
October 22, 2009
In case you all missed the tweet on Channing Tatum’s official Twitter, Production Weekly just confirmed that Chan will be starring in yet another Dito Montiel film very soon.
First there was ‘A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints’, then ‘Fighting‘, then ‘Brotherhood of the Rose‘, and now we have ‘Son of No One’. All written and directed by Dito Montiel and all starring Channing Tatum.
I think Chan may have mentioned this film when he was doing press for ‘Fighting‘ in April, but there’s not a lot of details out there for it yet. What we do know is that Chan will be acting along side his ‘Fighting‘ co-star Terrence Howard, James Gandolfini from “The Sopranos” and Robert De Niro from more movies than I could ever list here and who coincidentally also executive produced Chan’s 2009 historical drama ‘Public Enemies‘.
The dramatic thriller is about a young cop who is assigned to a precinct in the working class neighborhood where he grew up, and an old secret threatens to destroy his life and his family.
Production Weekly reported that ‘Son of No One’ is scheduled to start filming this January. I’m not sure where the movie’s going to be filming yet, but knowing Dito’s love of New York City, I’m willing to bet good money that Chan may once again be roaming the streets of NYC come January.
Thanks to CTU reader Belinda, I found out that Chan has been nominated for a People’s Choice Award this year. Please make sure you vote for Chan in the “Favorite Action Star” category and then you should also mosey on over to the “Favorite Movie” category to vote for Chan’s movie ‘G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra’.
The People’s Choice Awards celebrates fan favorites in music, movies and television and is the only major awards show where real people - not industry insiders - determine the nominees and winners. The 2010 show will be broadcast live from Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE on January 6, 2010 on the CBS Television Network.
With three movies under his belt and ‘G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra‘ breaking the $300 million mark this week, 2009 has officially been an extremely successful year in the world of Mr. Channing Tatum, so the casting announcement and People’s Choice Award nomination didn’t surprise me one bit. Congrats to Chan and everyone make sure to vote for him early often!!!
