New Picture of Channing Tatum with a Fan on the Set of 'Fighting'

A lot of fans seem to be running into Channing Tatum on the streets of New York where he is filming his newest movie 'Fighting' for the next few months.

Here is a great picture that Fabulous Channing Tatum Fan Maria sent to CTU. She was lucky enough to run into Chan near the set of the film last Thursday on September 27th when she was visiting New York City.

As you can see behind them in the photo, they are near West Side Socks at 27th street between 6th avenue and Broadway, which was one of the many New York City filming locations last week.

Thanks, Maria, for letting me post the great picture and we all defintely envy the fact that you were able to get so up close and personal with Chan!

If you happen to be lucky enough to run into Channing Tatum on the streets of New York (or anywhere else for that matter), feel free to send your picture and story to sightings@channingtatumunwrapped.com and I will showcase it on the blog.

NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum's 'Fighting' and Other Films Take Over New York According to WNBC.com

It seems that films like Channing Tatum's 'Fighting', Sara Jessica Parker's 'Sex in the City' and many other productions have taken over the streets of New York City.

In a recent New York news report from channel 4 NBC, we get to see Channing in between takes on the set of his movie 'Fighting' for a few seconds. In the report we learn that the 17 movies, 23 TV shows, and 40 late night and/or cable shows that call New York home for their productions generate over $5 Billion dollars in revenue and create 1000's of jobs in the city each year.

Although people may complain about the filming slowing them down a bit while they are trying to navigate through town, many understand the positive impact that the productions make on the city and don't mind being able to see a star walking the streets every now and then, especially when its Channing Tatum. ;-)

You can click here to view the video or click on the image above. Channing is on for a few seconds with around 1 minute and 14 seconds left in the video. Enjoy!

I would like to thank Fabulous Channing Tatum Fan Paul for letting me know about this video.

NEWS FLASH: New Channing Tatum Video and Pictures on the Set of 'Fighting' from TMZ.com and Just Jared

There have been lots of reports of paparazzi hanging around Channing Tatum's 'Fighting' set, but until now, we had not seen any pictures released through the various media outlets and all we had were the exclusive pictures I posted on the blog yesterday showing Chan on the set of 'Fighting' filming (thanks again Max!).

Well, what a difference a day makes, because now we have high quality pictures AND video of Channing on the set courtesy of celebrity gossip sites Just Jared and TMZ.com.

Here are the great Just Jared pictures of Channing in the same white t-shirt we saw him in on our photos yesterday and he is flanked by some pretty big guys from the personal training facility that is helping Chan get in shape for the film. Channing is currently training with a New York-based company called Billion Dollar Bodies, Inc. which is run by celebrity personal trainer William J. Harris.

You can click here to view the article and video on TMZ.com or click here to just view the video that shows Channing walking away from the 'Fighting' set with the Billion Dollar Bodies, Inc. trainers who look like they may be doing double duty as body guards. Chan shows up in the video at 1:03 and is on for about 10 seconds. He is friendly as usual with the paparazzi as they ask him how filming is going.

NEWS FLASH: New 'Step Up 2: The Streets' Production Video and Movie Stills

The production of 'Step Up 2: The Streets' completed filming last Sunday (September 21, 2007) in Baltimore, Maryland and is supposed to have their wrap party this coming Sunday.

The production team also just posted an answer to a second fan question on their official site.

Amanda from San Francisco, CA wanted to know...

"What does it feel like to be cast as the leading role in the sequel to an awesome movie?"

'Step Up 2: The Streets' lead actor Robert Hoffman answers that question in the following video. You can click here to check it out or you can play the video below:

I also found the following behind-the-scenes production photos online from 'Step Up 2: The Streets' showing characters like Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman in a dance scene and the director Jon Chu with other actors from the film:

'Step Up 2: The Streets' will be released February 14, 2008 with Robert Hoffman and Briana Evigan playing the lead roles. Channing Tatum has a really great cameo in the film and as far as I can confim from sources close to the production, Jenna Dewan is not currently in the sequel (even though the production has implied that she could be).

Guess we'll all have to go out and watch the movie when it hits the US and Netherlands theaters next Valentines Day and Slovakian theaters on March 18, 2008 to know for sure. I know I'll be there with bells on (as the saying goes). :-D

NEWS FLASH: First Ever Pictures of Channing Tatum on the Set of New Film 'Fighting'

Fabulous Channing Tatum Fan and CTU Reader, Max, just happened to be near Radio City Music Hall yesterday, saw Channing Tatum filming his movie 'Fighting', and was kind enough to take pictures and send them to me.

So thanks to Max, we now have the first pictures of Channing Tatum filming his new movie Fighting'. You can see Channing in the pics with a white t-shirt and/or a blue jean jacket on talking to people in the production. In the picture of Channing with the blue jean jacket on, you can also see the director Dito Montiel right behind him with a white t-shirt on.







In addition to that, I just received another filming update from our "on site field reporter", CTU Reader, and Fabulous Channing Tatum fan Lisa who also sent in an awesome report yesterday.

Here is what Lisa saw today on the set of Channing's movie 'Fighting':

Hi Quishe,

Channing is at the same location right now (10:50am Eastern).

He just filmed a sequence where he was scalping tickets. A guy approaches him and they start to fight, Channing throws him into a table of pamphlets, Channing gets thrown into a fruit stand and then runs away! Right after the take he was goofing off with some of the extras and Dito! He really just seems so laidback and fun! You can tell the closeness btwn him and Dito as well!

There's the quick update!
Lisa

Thank you again, Lisa, for keeping all of us fans posted and thank you to Max too for the great pictures!!! Since we are all not lucky enough to be in New York right now, it's really awesome to be able to get first hand accounts of what is going on there.

If anyone else reading this has seen the movie being filmed and would like to share their experiences with fans around the world, please send your story to sightings@channingtatumunwrapped.com. If you have any pictures, go ahead and send those along too. Thanks in advance!!

As I mentioned yesterday, I have added a section called "Where in the World is Channing Tatum?" on the left side of the blog. I am posting sightings and potential filming locations there during the day, so just keep checking this blog for the hottest Channing Tatum filming news you will find anywhere!!

NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum Sighting Today on the Set of 'Fighting'

Here's a picture someone took recently of the filming of Channing Tatum's movie 'Fighting' at Ramon Aponte Park on 47th street in the Hell's Kitchen section of New York City. Sadly Chan's not in the picture (other than the pic I added to it), but you can see the director Dito Montiel in the middle of the photo wearing the blue shirt and red shorts.

We may not have a picture of Channing on set (yet), but Fabulous Channing Tatum Fan Lisa from New York was kind enough to email me about her encounter with the film production today.

Here is what Lisa saw today watching Channing film his movie 'Fighting':

Hi there,

I have been reading your Channing blog pretty much since its creation and I thought I would finally contribute some GREAT news! (By the way....I've read many fansites over the years and yours defintely ranks at the top! Thanks for keeping us in the know!)

Anyways....I was able to watch Channing film some of his new movie, Fighting, today! I also spotted the amazingly talented Dito Montiel directing him!!! They were filming at the fountain across from Radio City Music Hall and 30 Rockefeller Plaza, right near where I work. I spotted Channing from a window (in a sweatshirt and jean jacket for the people who are interested) and ran downstairs to see the man in action. For the 15 minutes or so I was downstairs they probably only filmed a total of 2 minutes but I was able to see the interaction between Dito and Channing (which seemed full of energy and humor...both had huge smiles on their faces and were laughing quite a bit). Channing seemed extremely affable and was keeping loose by jumping up and down and talking with his co-stars and members of the crew!

I have been a fan of Channings since he was the 'Mountain Dew guy' and to finally have been 25 feet away from him was pretty awesome (and Im not one to get starstruck!) He is beautiful in person and it was very cool to be able to watch him perform (even for such a little amount of time)....just wanted to pass on the news!

Thanks,
Lisa, NYC

Thank you sooooooo much, Lisa, for sending this in!!! I have been hoping to get people to report from the field on their encounters with the production, so thanks again for sharing and allowing us to live vicariously through your encounter!!

If anyone else reading this has seen the movie being filmed and would like to share their experiences with fans around the world, please send your story to sightings@channingtatumunwrapped.com. If you have any pictures, go ahead and send those along too. Thanks in advance!!

Finally, I have added a section called "Where in the World is Channing Tatum?" on the left side of the blog. I will start posting sightings and potential filming locations there during the day, so just keep checking this blog for the hottest Channing Tatum filming news you will find anywhere!!

CHANTASTIC WORD OF THE DAY: Chanamania

Fans recently started using Chan-themed words on the blog and in the chat box, so we thought it would be fun to document them. You can find many of those words in the Chantastic Words thread in the forum and I am going to start showcasing the words on the blog too. Today's chantastic word of the day is...

Chan-a-ma-ni-a* (noun): Usually used to describe the sudden outbursts, giddiness, laughter, fainting, drooling or uncontrollable urges of a Chan-aholic or a group of Chan-aholics.

"When Channing Tatum Unwrapped posted this new promotional still of Channing Tatum in his upcoming movie 'Stop Loss', it caused widespread chanamania throughout the Channing Tatum fan community."

Do you have a Chantastic Word you would like to share with other Channing Tatum fans? Feel free to go to the forum and add your very own word for other fans to use and enjoy! Thanks to all of the Fabulous Channing Tatum Fans that have already been adding words to what I affectionately call the Chanictionary.

Is it kind of silly? Yes, but it's really good fan fun and that's what CTU is all about! :-D

*The Chantastic Word of the Day was created by forum user 1ChanFan. Thanks!
