For a while it’s been known that Channing Tatum has been looking for project to co-direct with his business partner, Reid Carolin (they thought about helming Magic Mike XXL, but ultimately passed). Now one has jumped to the top of the pack, as THR reports he’s set to helm an adaptation of Matthew Quick’s book Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock.
The young adult novel ‘centers on a troubled high schooler who plans to kill his best friend and then himself.’ Tatum may also star in the movie, and if he does, he’ll play a teacher who tries to stop the young man’s plan.
If this does become his directorial debut, he’ll certainly be starting off with something difficult and dramatic, but would flex his muscles as both a helmer and an actor. At the moment it’s not known when it might shoot, or indeed when Tatum will have a slot in his incredibly busy schedule.

Although there had been rumours over the years, actor Richard Chamberlain didn’t step out of the closet until long after his fame as star of the likes of the TV show Dr. Kildare and mini-series such as Shogun and The Thorn Birds had faded. Indeed it was a long time after that, as he didn’t reveal his sexuality publicly until he was nearly 70 and had an autobiography to sell in 2003.
An increasing amount of men’s sports teams seem willing to take off their clothes for a charity calendar, but with all that physical exercise you’d expect them to look good with their clothes off. People who are attending vet school meanwhile don’t have a particular reputation for being hot – but Cornell University Vet School wants to change that.
Zac Efron has many talents, his pecs being just two of them. But now he wants to let the world to know he can do something few others can – masturbate hands-free to climax while driving! He can do it 17 times in one day! And what other actor would want to help Zac show the world this unusual ability? Well it should come as no surprise that it’s James Franco.
When Hedwig And The Angry Inch was heading to Broadway, its creator, John Cameron Mitchell, seemed to be very careful to keep his distance, not because he had a problem with it, but because he knew that this new incarnation wasn’t his baby. After all, Hedwig was once very much his singular creation, a character he’d started in cabaret, turned into a stage show and then taken to the screen As a result he gave the impression that as the Broadway version was something new and different, he was happy to let others get on with it with sticking his nose in.
