Channing Tatum & Tom Hardy In Talks For Crime Thriller Triple Frontier

January 7, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It was over six years ago that we first heard about Triple Frontier, which was supposed to be Kathryn Bigelow’s follow-up to the Oscar-winning success of The Hurt Locker. However, despite interest from the likes of Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith, she eventually went off to make Zero Dark Thirty and removed herself as director.

The project has lived on though, with J.C. Chandor (Margin Call, All Is Lost) attached to direct. Now Variety reports that two new major actors are in early talks for the film, with Channing Tatum and Tom Hardy circling the film.

The movie is set in the border zone between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, which is a haven for organized crime. The movie itself centres on five people working in the zone, and it’s been reported that it is based on a true story. Mark Boal wrote the script.

Tom Hanks Wants To Be Channing Tatum’s Lover In The Remake Of Splash

October 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

I think it’s safe to say that he wasn’t being 100% serious, but Tom Hanks has said he’s very happy with the idea of remaking Splash, and if they do, he should appear in it and play Channing Tatum’s boyfriend. It was revealed back in August that Tatum is attached to a gender swapped remake of Splash, where he will be a merman, with his 22 Jump Street co-star Jillian Bell in the equivalent to Hanks’ human role in the 1984 original.

However, Hanks has a different idea, where he’ll steal Tatum from Bell.

Talking to AP at the US premiere of Inferno about whether he’d be willing to play Allen Bauer in the remake, he said, “No one asked me! I’m all in favor of it. Why not? That’s fine! I figure if they were really going to be bold, I would come back as Allen Bauer, and I would go off with Channing Tatum. That would be a bold movie, and I am suggesting it right now. Put THAT on your APwire.”

While I think it’s unlikely we’ll see Tatum and Hanks running off together, it certainly seems like he’d entertain the idea of making an appearance in the new version of Splash (and perhaps they can bring Darryl Hannah back). The movie may also retain the original director, Ron Howard (who also, of course, directed Hanks in Inferno), but he’s waiting to see the script and schedule before he decides.

Channing Tatum Is Turning Merman For A Remake Of Splash

August 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Fans of Channing Tatum with his shirt off should rejoice, as Deadline reports that he is attached to one of the lead roles in the planned remake of the 1984 hit movie Splash. His 22 Jump Street co-star Jillian Bell has also signed on.

In the original movie Tom Hanks played a man who was rescued by a mermaid (Darryl Hannah) as a child and then again as an adult, although he isn’t aware that’s what happened. She decides to search for him on land (her tail becomes legs once its dried), but after they meet and begin to fall for one another, her secret threatens to come out, especially as her tail will reappear if she gets wet..

For the remake there’s a gender role-reversal, with Tatum as the part-fish part-human, and Bell as the human. It’s not clear how the plot might differ otherwise. Marja-Lewis Ryan is set to write the script.

Channing Tatum Announces That Magic Mike Live Is Coming To Vegas

May 5, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In a move that’s not too surprising (except in how long it’s taken), Channing Tatum has revealed that Magic Mike is going live with an all male revue that will be hitting Las Vegas next year. It’s surprising it hasn’t happened before because it seems like such as obvious extension, but they may have held off creating a Magic Mike strip show/club, due to the fact Tatum and co. have been working on a musical stage version of the movie. However, little has been heard about that recently, so they may have decided a revue was the next sensible step instead.

Tatum will direct the show, titled Magic Mike Live, which will recreate the film’s ‘Club Domina’ with three bars, an interactive stage and seating for 450 guests. It’ll open at the Hard Rock Cafe in Vegas next March.

In the video below, Tatum talks about his plans, while surrounded by hot shirtless guys doing household chores – and with some puppies thrown in too. While the video talks about this being a club for ladies, you have to hope that gay guys will be allowed in too, especially as the gay contingent certainly helped make the movie a success! Channing’s house in the vid certainly looks like a gay man’s wet dream, if nothing else!

As Channing says, “What if women were given the option that men have had for centuries?. “That’s when my brain morphed into Kevin Costner from Field of Dreams and said, ’If you build it, they will come, spelled c-u-m.’” Take a look at the video below. [Read more…]

Channing Tatum Up For Kingsman: The Golden Circle

April 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The casting news on Kingsman: The Golden Circle is coming thick and fast, with the latest being that Channing Tatum has signed on for the movie. He joins the returning Taron Egerton and Mark Strong, as well as newcomers Julianne Moore as the villain, Halle Berry as the CIA Chief and Pedro Pascal.

Just yesterday we reported that Elton John was in talks for the film, and there are strong hints that Colin Firth will be returning too.

There’s no news on exactly who Tatum will play, although the poster in the tweet which Channing used to announce the news (which you can see below) has many speculating that he will be part of the American version of Kingsman. While there are few plot details available, it is known that it will involve the British agents coming up against or working alongside the CIA. And if that’s who Tatum is playing, it would appear he’ll have a Southern drawl.

Shooting kicks off soon with Matthew Vaughn once more directing. It’ll be in cinemas next year. [Read more…]

21 Jump Street/Men in Black Crossover Gets Director James Bobin

March 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When Channing Tatum came up with the idea for a crossover between 21 Jump Street and Men In Black, it seemed like the sort of crazy thing where a studio would do some work on it, just to keep the star happy. However, it appears Sony is taking it very seriously, as Variety reports that Muppets and Flight On The Conchords director James Bobin is in talks to helm the movie.

While Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are both expected to be involved, don’t expect to see Tommy Lee Jones or Will Smith, as the makers are apparently looking for ‘younger, fresher faces’ to put on the black suits and help keep the fact aliens are living amongst us a secret. There’s no other info than that, and we’ll have to wait and see how Schmidt and Jenko get caught up in alien shenanigans, and whether the movie will see them going undercover to deal with some sort of sci-fi nasty.

Expect to hear more info soo though, as Sony is hoping to shoot the movie this summer. It appears that once they’ve tied down Bobin, they’ll be looking for actors to play the new Men (and possibly Women) in Black. Who knows, perhaps after the lacklustre Men In Black 3, this could be a good way to revive the franchise.

Channing Tatum & Joseph Gordon-Levitt Are Teaming Up For A Musical Comedy

February 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

channing-tatum

A couple of days ago we posted a clip of Channing Tatum showing off his singing skills in Hail, Caesar!. Well, it seems he doesn’t want to leave it there, as THR reports that he’s teaming with Joseph Gordon-Levitt for a new musical comedy, which Universal has signed on to make.

The duo have worked together several times before, appearing alongside each other in Havoc, Stop-Loss, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, with Tatum also showing up in Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut, Don Jon. There’s not much info on what the film will be about, but it’s apparently planned as an R-rated movie, based on an idea by Gordon-Levitt and his longtime friend and colleague Michael Bacall, who will write the script.

It’s still pretty early days though, so don’t expect to see this for a while yet – indeed musicals tend to have an incredibly long development period due to the need to work on and refine the tunes. However it’ll certainly be good if it goes ahead and we can see Tatum and Gordon-Levitt showing off their wond and dance men skills in a full-length musical.

Is Steven Soderbergh Coming Out Of Retirement To Direct A Channing Tatum Movie?

February 4, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

steven-soderbergh

Three years ago, Ocean’s 11 and Traffic helmer Steven Soderbergh announced he was retiring as a movie director, with his last theatrical movie being Side Effects, followed by the TV film, Behind The Candelabra. However, it appears he may have been lured out of his semi-retirement, with Variety reporting that he’s attached to helm a movie called Lucky Logan, which Channing Tatum is attached to star in.

To be honest it’s not particularly shocking news, as not only did Soderbergh keep delaying his initial retirement by making more movies, but he’s still been heavily involved in the industry as a producer and cinematographer, as well as direcing numerous episodes of the TV series The Knick. The new film would reunite Steven with his Magic Mike star (indeed Soderbergh was also a Producer and the Director Of Photography for the sequel, even though he didn’t direct).

There’s no info on the plot of Lucky Logan, with Variety just saying that its “a mystery, but sources say Soderbergh recently got his hands on the script and quickly fell in love with the premise”. However, before we cheer Soderbergh’s return to feature film directing, the director himself has suggested that’s not what happening, heading to Twitter to say, ‘That Variety story is wrong. What a shock.’

That doesn’t mean he isn’t involved in some capacity, or that it’s not other aspects of the story he’s disputing, but it’s a bit early to say he’s definitely going to be in the director’s chair.

Channing Tatum Gets Golden Age Of Hollywood Gay In Hail, Ceasar! Clips

February 2, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

channing-tatum-hail-caesar Back in the Golden Age Of Hollywood, the Production Code literally meant that you weren’t allowed to mention homosexuality, but filmmakers still found ways to sneak things in. It appears the Coen Brothers are playing with that in their new movie, Hail, Ceasar!, at least if these new clips are anything to go by.

They feature Channing Tatum as movie star Burt Gurney, who’s filming a musical where he has to put up with the fact that at sea, there will be ‘No Dames’. The first clip allows Channing to show off his singing skills, while in the second we get to see that when there are No Dames around, the boys will certainly find things to occupy their time.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Four-time Oscar^®-winning filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men, True Grit, Fargo) write and direct Hail, Caesar!, an all-star comedy set during the latter years of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Starring Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill and Frances McDormand, Hail, Caesar! follows a single day in the life of a studio fixer who is presented with plenty of problems to fix.’

The film will be in UK cinemas on March 4th. Take a look at the clips below.

January 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While many had expected the Coen Brothers’ Hail, Caesar! to be making an Oscar run, it’s been slightly pushed back, but it still looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. If nothing else their look back at the Golden Age of Hollywood has one hell of a cast.

A new trailer has now arrived, which tells us little about the plot, but certainly gives us a feel for quirky tone we can expect.

The film will be in UK cinemas on March 4th.
