NEWS FLASH: Attend a Special 'Dear John' Premiere Benefiting Carolina Autism

2009-11-26T23:59:00.002-06:00

Although Channing Tatum's highly-anticipated romantic drama 'Dear John' will have a traditional premiere in Los Angeles prior to it's February 5th release next year, Sony has graciously allowed Charleston-based Carolina Autism to hold a special premiere benefiting the organization, and the cool part is that fans will be able to attend.

Carolina Autism is a charitable agency that treats children with autism for free, and they also worked on the set of 'Dear John'. Because of the current economic conditions and the high unemployment rate in South Carolina, many families are unable to get treatment for their children with autism. The makers of 'Dear John' generously offered to have this premiere in Charleston for the benefit of those children through Carolina Autism's "Push for Kids" program.

All the money raised during the charity event will go to help children from around the state of South Carolina like Braeden (a very talented and autistic child who stars in the movie with Chan) to get the treatment they need.

Sony Pictures is working to make sure that Chan, his co-star Amanda Seyfried, and the rest of the film's stars are able to attend the event that will be held on Sunday, January 24, 2010, and Carolina Autism told me that "Dear John" author Nicholas Sparks is going to also try to be there, as well as the director Lasse Hallström.

The movie will be shown at the Hippodrome Theater on the Charleston waterfront, and the after-party will be held in the adjacent South Carolina Aquarium where movie goers will be exclusive guests in an after hours wonderland.

Tickets can be purchased online with no administration or processing fees, so every dollar goes to treat children with autism. Fans can learn more and purchase tickets at www.DearJohnCharlestonPremiere.com.

As many of you know, the movie was filmed in the Charleston, South Carolina area and you can CLICK HERE to read about all of the local fan encounters from on and off the set of the film, HERE to watch the trailer, and HERE to check out all of the photos from the film and set in the CTU Photo Gallery.

'Dear John' is scheduled for a February 5, 2010 release in the US, but fans can find more international release dates on the CTU Calendar.

IN THE PRESS: Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s Retail Therapy Featured on JustJared.com

2009-11-23T23:34:00.011-06:00

Jenna Dewan-Tatum wrapped filming on her latest movie, 'Legend of Hell's Gate', last week and celebrated that achievement, signing on to another movie, and getting over a cold by partaking in a little retail therapy at L.A.'s Paige Premium Denim and Armani Exchange today.

Here's what Just Jared had to say about Jenna's shopping trip...

A fresh faced Jenna Dewan does some retail therapy at L.A.’s Paige Premium Denim on Monday (November 23).

The 28-year-old actress, who is currently filming The Legend of Hell’s Gate: An American Conspiracy with One Tree Hill’s James Lafferty, is lucky to catch a break now - it sounds like she’ll be busy over the next few weeks!

“Big big week ahead of me!” Jenna tweeted. “Rehearsals for dizzyfeet, meetings, signed on to do new movie, thanksgiving cooking so much!”

After stopping at Paige and picking up some of their super-cute swag, Jenna headed to Armani Exchange. “My car is stuffed to the max with holiday shopping bags,” she tweeted.
Here's the new photos of Jenna shopping at Paige Premium Denim from Just Jared and a few of other pics of her walking down Melrose and leaving Armani Exchange....

You can CLICK HERE to see all of the photos above and a few additional shots in the CTU Photo Gallery.

If fans want to figure out how to recreate Jenna's look, you can thanks to Fabsugar's Celeb Style...

"Jenna Dewan walked down the street in Beverly Hills looking extremely chic and poised. Her structured white blazer framed her body perfectly, and paired well over her draped fringe Haute Hippie halter, denim leggings, and over-the-knee brown boots. A vintage pair of sunglasses gave the look an old-fashioned feel, while her studded purse and gold bangles kept it current. Shop her exact top and other similar items now."

Below you can check out a new photo from last night when Jenna attended the birthday party of friend and Dizzyfeet producer Adam Shankman with 'Step Up 2's Briana Evigan, director Jon M. Chu, and uber choreographers Napoleon and Tabitha D'Umo.

I hear from CTU reader Michaela that Jenna will be performing with Briana Evigan ('Step Up 2'), Sharni Vinson ('Step Up 3'), and eight backup dancers at the Dizzyfeet gala on November 29th where hubby Channing Tatum is also supposed to present.

The sold out event will not be televised (although Adam Shankman has mentioned a DVD may be released), so hopefully there will be lots of pics. Stay tuned and CONGRATS to Jenna on the new movie role!!!

FAN ENCOUNTERS: Chan and Jenna Partying with Fans in Scotland

2009-11-22T21:33:00.003-06:00

Over the past three months, numerous fans have run into Channing Tatum in Achiltibuie and other parts of Scotland while he films his Roman epic 'Eagle of the Ninth'.

Today, we have some great new pics of Chan and his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum with fans Kelly, Abi, Phoebe, Kythe and Kim enjoying themselves at a dance that the town threw for the cast and crew. Here's what they had to say about their encounter with the couple...

"We met Channing and Jenna at a ceilidh in Achiltibuie, Scotland when Channing was up filming "The Eagle of the Ninth" in October! It was such a fun night!" - Kelly, Abi, Phoebe, Kythe & Kim :D

You can check out Jenna and Chan in a couple of his favorite caps and a t-shirt from Tampa-based Eleven O Twelve hanging out with fans in the new pics below...

You can CLICK HERE see a few more photos of Chan and Jenna with fans in Scotland, and you'll find tons more fan encounter photos in the CTU photo gallery too.

For those who don't know, Chan's movie 'The Eagle of the Ninth' 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. The drama is scheduled to hit theaters in the third quarter of 2010!!!

Big thanks to Kelly for sending in the great pics! If you happen to run into Chan or Jenna, send your photos and fan encounter stories to fanencounters@channingtatumunwrapped.com. I will post them on the blog to share with envious fans all around the globe! ;-)

NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum Headed for the Streets of New York for 'Son of No One'

2009-11-20T00:52:00.000-06:00

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.

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

2009-11-14T14:36:00.004-06:00

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.

Here's what Jenna had to say about the personal photo from her first dress fitting for the couple's July 11th wedding...

FIRST LOOK: Channing Tatum in ‘The Eagle of the Ninth’

2009-11-11T23:59:00.002-06:00

Channing Tatum is days away from wrapping on his Roman epic 'The Eagle of the Ninth' in Scotland (the crew was recently spotted near Windyhill Cottage in the village of Altandhu). Thanks to the movie news site Collider.com we have a first look at Chan in what's going to be one of the biggest films in 2010.

Collider.com got a sneak peek at next year's big films at the American Film Market recently, which is where film distributors are given an opportunity to buy the rights for new projects and where currently-in-production films go to find more financing.

Festivals like this have gone very well for the film thus far. 'The Eagle of the Ninth' became a 2009 Cannes Film Festival hit because of its strong script, cast and director and the success of similar productions such as ‘Gladiator’ and the American HBO series “Rome”, starring Scot Kevin McKidd. The $23 million epic that is helmed by 'State of Play' director Kevin Macdonald and stars Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell, and Donald Sutherland has already lined up distributors all over the world.

Below you'll find the official plot breakdown for 'The Eagle of the Ninth'. This is the most detailed summary we've gotten for the movie thus far, so I would like to warn that there may be a few spoilers in the synopsis...
"Newly arrived in Britannia on his first command, young Centurion Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) heroically defends his ford against a massive Celtic attack but is so badly wounded that he is discharged from the army. Angry and bitter that his army career is over, Marcus chooses to risk his life on a seemingly impossible journey into the unconquered north to find the Eagle of the Ninth, the legendary golden standard lost fifteen years earlier when his father marched the Ninth Legion into the wilds of Scotland and never came back. As a companion, he takes his slave Esca (Jamie Bell), a Celt whose life he saved in a gladiatorial contest but who hates all things Roman. Their journey together into the wild north forgers the beginnings of a precarious relationship between them. But when they are captured by the Seal People, the most feared of all the Celtic tribes and the guardians of the lost Eagle, Esca claims that he is the master and Marcus his Roman slave - and Marcus has no choice but to entrust himself into the Celt’s hands. Just as Marcus fears Esca’s loyalty is lost and he is to remain a slave for life, the Celt proves true to his friend. Together they manage to retrieve the Eagle from an island temple and, keeping one step ahead of their pursuers in a thrilling chase to the safety of the border, they take a stand in a final, unexpected battle that reveals the secret of the Ninth."

'The Eagle of the Ninth' is scheduled to hit theaters some time in the third quarter of 2010.

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.

You can watch the latest trailer for the R-rated comedy below...

FIRST LOOK: Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum Celebrate Halloween Burlesque-Style in Glasgow

2009-11-03T14:43:00.012-06:00

While Meeka and Lulu Bella Tatum hung out with Chan's mom stateside this Halloween, Channing Tatum (in Scotland to film 'Eagle of the Ninth') and wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum celebrated All Hallows Eve in full burlesque regalia at Club Noir's Halloween bash at O2 Academy in Glasgow, Scotland.

Club Noir is officially the world's biggest burlesque club, and prides itself on its world-class, innovative variety shows with vintage music and beautifully costumed performers. Jenna tweeted a pic to show us her makeup a few days ago, but we didn't get any pics of the elusive Mr.Tatum...until now that is.

Thanks to the UK's Daily Mail we have a picture of the beautiful couple at the sold out Halloween Burlesque event this weekend where Chan and Jenna celebrated with approximately 2000 revelers. You can read the article from today's paper below...

The club described the event as "the most gory, gruesome, glamorous Halloween event in Scotland. Vampires, murder, torture, voodoo, dancers, singers, musicians, striptease, fetish acts, bands, DJs, magic, photographers, film crew, VJ and lots more". Sounds like Chan and Jenna probably had a ton of fun!!!

The Daily Mail felt that Chan was perhaps trying to channel (albeit a Burlesque version of) his Pretty Boy Floyd character from 'Public Enemies', which coincidentally was just released on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK YESTERDAY, so UK fans make sure you pick up a copy!!!

Directed by Michael Mann and starring Oscar® nominee Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard, 'Public Enemies' places you in the center of the fast and dangerous life of outlaw John Dillinger (Depp), whose cascade of heists, breakouts and charismatic press conferences captivated a nation and won him the heart of Billie Frechette (Cotillard) who went along for the ride. Meanwhile, at the same time, he was being hunted nationwide by crime buster Melvin Purvis (Bale) and the FBI as the nation’s first Public Enemy No. 1.

What's up next for 'Public Enemies'? The movie will be released on DVD in the US on December 8, 2009. Fans can CLICK HERE to get more details.

Also, don't forget to watch Jenna in episode 9 (aka "Gower") of "Melrose Place" TONIGHT @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW. This is the second episode of Jenna's two episode arc on the show, so don't miss it!!!
