CTU EXCLUSIVE: Enter to Win a ‘Step Up 3D’ Crew Cap!!!

As far as I know (although I keep hoping they'll surprise us), neither Channing Tatum nor Jenna Dewan are in the third installment of the extremely popular 'Step Up' franchise they started in 2006. Regardless, I'll be one of the first in line with glasses in hand to see 'Step Up 3D' when it hits theaters next August.

'Step Up 3D' takes the dance battling global; The story follows a passionate, tight-knit group of street dancers (featuring Rick Malambri and Sharni Vinson with the returning actors Adam G. Sevani and Alyson Stoner) who find themselves pitted against the world's best breakdancers in a high-stakes showdown.

I just added a ton of photos from the set of the film to the CTU Photo Gallery. Also, Entertainment Tonight did a behind the scenes report for the first-ever 3D dance drama this past summer. If you missed it, you can watch the video below to get the latest scoop on the film:

Now on to the real reason why you're probabaly here...

Jon M. Chu, the director for 'Step Up 2' and 'Step Up 3D', has been a great friend of CTU for a while now and previously sent me autographed posters and DVD's to give away to readers.

I'm excited, because Jon has come through for us yet again. He just sent me another stash of goodies to give away to Chan's fans. You can't buy the exclusive 'Step Up 3D' crew cap/beanies in stores, but CTU fan club members can most definitely win one.

CHANNING TATUM PROJECT UPDATE: 'Dear John', 'Fighting', 'Stanford Prison Experiment', and 'Step Up 2'

In a recent post, I updated you all on some of Jenna Dewan's current projects. In addition to a rumored switch from the talent agency William Morris to United Talent Artists with his long time theatrical agent Louise Ward, there's been a lot of different things going on with Channing Tatum and his movies too. Fans can read below to get all of the latest scoop.

DEAR JOHN

Channing has been filming his romantic drama 'Dear John' all over the beautiful Charleston, South Carolina beaches. In this past week alone, numerous lucky fans have seen him and the cast filming on Isle of Palms beaches on October 20th and on Folly Beach on the 23rd.

In addition to Channing playing the role of John Tyree and Amanda Seyfried playing his love interest Savannah, we recently learned that Scott Porter has also joined the cast. I initially thought he was playing the role of Tim, but have since learned that he may actually have been cast as John's nemesis Randy.

What we do know for sure is that Henry Thomas, who famously played Elliot in E.T., has been cast in the Lasse Hallström directed love story which is based on a Nicholas Sparks novel that follows a soldier on leave (Channing Tatum) who falls for a college student (Amanda Seyfried) only to reenlist in the Army after 9/11. They are saying that Thomas plays the older man who has an affair with Savannah while John is away. Based on what I know about the storyline, I think that means Henry may have been cast in the role of Tim.

FIGHTING

The Associated Press is reporting that Relativity Media is currently in talks with Universal Studios to acquire Rogue Pictures. The sale would include Rogue's 30-title library, four films that are set for release in 2009, and its entire development slate.

Why should this tidbit of information matter to Channing Tatum fans? I'll try to explain...

Channing Tatum's underground mix martial arts drama 'Fighting', which also stars Oscar nominee Terrence Howard, is one of those four Rogue Pictures films that are set to release in 2009. Initially I had read that 'Fighting' may be released early in 2009, but the fact that Rogue could be purchased by Relativity makes that release date a little more uncertain. We may now have to wait until later in the year to see the film.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this one, so I hope the release date ends up being sooner rather than later, but sadly that's all up to the studio gods (whoever they end up being).

STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT

I hate to be the harbinger of bad news today, but the Stanford Daily is saying there may be a delay in another one of Chan's potential projects. (On a side note, delays are very common in the entertainment industry, so it's something I'm starting to get used to.)

They are reporting that the 'Stanford Prison Experiment' is still in the works, but the big-screen Hollywood retelling of Stanford Professor Philip Zimbardo’s famed 1970's prison experiment continues to hit roadblocks.

The film was originally delayed when Christopher McQuarrie, the director and co-writer of the film with Tim Talbott, went abroad to Berlin to work on Tom Cruise's upcoming movie “Valkyrie” (a film about the assassination plot against Adolf Hitler) as a writer, producer and assistant director. Additional delays were also caused by a now settled law suit over distribution rights for the film.

With the delays hopefully behind him, McQuarrie is currently at the casting stage. He is searching for actors to play the prison guard ensemble, Professor Zimbardo, Carlo Prescott (an ex-convict and chief consultant for the experiment who has raised objections to the making of the movie) and psychologist Christina Maslach (the film’s heroine).

Despite previous rumors that Ryan Phillippe, Kieran Culkin, Paul Dano, Jesse Eisenberg, Charlie Hunnam, Ben McKenzie and Channing Tatum would be starring in the movie, no main characters have yet been completely confirmed.

The real Professor Zimbardo, a senior consultant for the movie who works closely with its writers, conducted the experiment in 1971. He assigned student volunteers to the roles of prison guards and prisoners, but the study was ended prematurely due to the intense reactions of the subjects to their roles.

Although the film was originally slated to be released in 2009, the 'Stanford Prison Experiment' is currently considered to be on hold without a release date. Fan's shouldn't fret, because Chan has plenty of other projects in development to keep him and his fans very busy in 2009 and beyond.

STEP UP 2: THE STREETS

To end this movie update on a happier note, I want to let Channing Tatum's Fabulous Fans in Sweden know that his highly successful dance hit ‘Step Up 2: The Streets‘ was just released on DVD in your country this week!!!

Win a FREE DVD and Autographed Poster from Channing Tatum's 'Step Up 2: The Streets'

The beautiful mural above was painted by professional graffiti artist Paul Nandee to promote tomorrow's July 15th release of the region 1 DVD for Channing Tatum's highly successful dance movie 'Step Up 2: The Streets'.

The mural, which Paul says took a day and a half to complete, was amazingly done completely in spray paint. He was commissioned by a marketing company to design the artwork for the mural marketing component of the campaign to promote the release of the dvd. You can go to SwankOne.com to check out even more of his work.

In addition to Paul's mural, he believes there is a plan for murals to be put up across the US with other aerosol artists painting the same design. Fans can see how the movie is truly taking it to the streets by checking out the mural above at 1224 Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice, California. If you happen to see other murals across the US, take a photo, and I'll make sure to add it to the CTU photo gallery.

UK fans can also get the double the dance version that includes both 'Step Up' with ton's of extras and 'Step Up 2'.

In a previous post, Jon Chu had mentioned that there are a few "Easter Eggs" on the DVD. I hear there are at least two of them on the UK and US version of the DVD and here's how you find them...

From the Bonus Features screen, go to "Main Menu" at the bottom and click to the right to make bowling pins appear. That will take you to a brief clip of Chu informing Briana Evigan over the phone that she got the lead role. Also, on the second screen of the deleted scenes menu, highlight "8.

NEWS FLASH: Casting Directors Chosen for Channing Tatum's 'Dear John'

We all happily learned last year that Channing Tatum was going to play the title role in the 2009 romantic drama 'Dear John', which is adapted from a popular Nicholas Sparks book by the same name.

In May 2008, we also found out that accomplished director Lasse Hallström was chosen to helm the film.

The movie is currently in the pre-production phase, and as we get closer to the planned mid-September start of filming, more and more details are going come out about the production.

The biggest question that most fans have is who is going to play the female lead of Savannah opposite Channing's John. We don't have that answer yet, but we are one step closer to finding out who will play the part.

I found an article today that says the production team has now chosen the casting directors for the film. Joanna Colbert and Richard Mento who coincidentally also casted Channing Tatum's 'Step Up and 'Step Up 2: The Streets', are now attached to cast 'Dear John', a drama about a young soldier (John) who falls in love with a quiet college student (Savannah) while home on leave.

Stay tuned to Channing Tatum Unwrapped, and I'll keep you posted on any new developments with the film's casting.
