Channing Tatum Interview For ‘The Vow’
Feb 8th
Paige and Leo (Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum) are a happy newlywed couple whose lives are changed by a car accident that puts Paige in a coma. Waking up with severe memory loss, Paige has no memory of Leo, a confusing relationship with her parents (Sam Neill and Jessica Lange), and an ex-fiancé (Scott Speedman) she may still have feelings for. Despite these complications, Leo endeavours to win her heart again and rebuild their marriage. ‘The Vow’ is set for release Febuary 10th.
What was it about this story that interested you?
Channing Tatum: I really just loved the idea of Leo in an extraordinary circumstance with his lover Paige, and it doesn’t take a stereotypical Nicolas Sparks way to get back around to love. There’s no “ah-ha” moment where everything falls into place. It’s a more realistic way to get back to love. Rachel McAdams did some interesting study on people who lose their memories. A certain percentage just fall back into who they were which I thought was very interesting.
New Image Of Kristen Stewart In Action As Snow White In ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’
Feb 8th
The official Facebook page for ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ has released this new look at Kristen Stewart as Snow White in Rupert Sanders’ highly anticipated fairy tale re-imagining. ‘Snow White and The Huntsman’ is a re-telling of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, it will feature an expanded role for the part of the Huntsman. In the original version he is ordered to take Snow White into the woods and kill her, but instead lets her go. In this new take the Huntsman serves as Snow White’s mentor, teaching Snow White to fight and survive against the evil queen. Alongside Kristen Stewart as Snow White, the film has Chris Hemsworth portraying Huntsman, Sam Claflin as Prince Charmant, and Charlize Theron on board to portray the Evil Queen. Noah Huntley, Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Steven Graham and Nick Frost co-star. ‘Snow White and The Huntsman’ is scheduled for a June 1st release. The action adventure movie is planned to be a trilogy.
In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) who was dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White’s beauty and power. The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders.
‘The Wolverine’ Scheduled For Release July 26th 2013
Feb 7th
If a production update from Box Office Mojo is on the money, 20th Century Fox has finally given their much-anticipated sequel, ‘The Wolverine,’ an official release date of July 26th, 2013. The film is set to be directed by James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line, Knight and Day), while the script is by ‘The Usual Suspects’ scribe Christopher McQuarrie and Mark Bomback. The story takes inspiration from the Chris Claremont/Frank Miller Marvel miniseries from the 1980s dealing with the character’s adventures in Japan.
Darren Aronofsky was originally tapped to helm the sequel, however he dropped out to spend more time with his family as the film would shoot overseas for an extended period of time. I truly hope this film brings the best out of one of the Comic world’s most fascinating and best loved characters. Even though 2009’s ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ was a financial success by earning over $400 million at the box office, the film was met unfavorably from both fans and critics. Hugh Jackman is on board to return, expect casting news in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon.
