IS CHANNING TATUM
GAMBIT IN X-MEN SPINOFF?
While you are waiting for the mutants to hit the big screens in X MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST soon, the fresh gossip today says that Channing Tatum is being considered for the role of GAMBIT in a spin-off movie from the mutant saga! The actor, who is one of the last of the young Hollywood hunks not to have a superhero role in his CV, has revealed that he has actually spoken with the producers about this role. The X MEN producer Lauren Shuler Donner has confirmed earlier that she would love to do the film with Tatum in the lead role. Hugh Jackman has, meanwhile, recently said that if he leaves the saga he would want Channing as the new Wolverine.
DID YOU KNOW?
Gambit is a mutant from New Orleans with burning red eyes who has the mutant ability to tap into the potential energy contained within an object and transform it into kinetic energy upon touching it. When Gambit thus charges an object and throws it at a target, the object releases this energy explosively on impact. This gives him superhuman agility and dexterity, and shields his mind from detection and intrusion by even the most powerful telepaths.

'THIRD PERSON' TRAILER
LIAM NEESON, MILA KUNIS, OLIVIA WILDE, ADRIEN BRODY
Our trailer for today is the first international one for ensemble drama THIRD PERSON which stars Olivia Wilde, Mila Kunis, Liam Neeson, James Franco, Maria Bello, Kim Basinger and Adrien Brody! The film wends its way through three cities and three tales. The various stories, situated in Paris, Rome, and New York, are, at first glance, all separate, but they all concentrate on three men and their romantic entanglements. Gradually, each one of these stories unveils its secrets, testifying to the whims and complexities of life. As each story is explored we discover untold pleasures and pains. Life is never easy: it can be deceptive, inhabited by anger and jealousy, but it can also be surprisingly joyous.
Liam Neeson has been a busy man lately. He seems to be in something every month or so.
ReplyDeleteand this one has such brilliant acting performances judging from the trailer! I really love Paul Haggis!
DeleteGuess what, Dezzy? The sun is out today and the snow is melting. Hope all is well on your end and boogie boogie.
ReplyDeletehere it's suddenly cold :) but as you know I love it.
DeleteI remember you saying that. Very cool. Just now, I'm able to shut the heat off and open some windows. I think I can open them, anyway. Either way, I'm shutting the heat down.
DeleteI just don't see Channing Tatum as Gambit. Maybe he's changed over the years, but I was reading X-Men when the character first debuted, and I remember him as a skinnier, more acrobatic character, and one with a thick New Orleans accent.
ReplyDeleteChanning says he always loved Gambit best and that he feels connected with him as a person. Methinks Channing is also from those regions.
Deletei would rather see the guy who was gambit be gambit from the first wolverine. he has been in other roles, channing has done enough remakes/redos like gi-joe and 21 jump street. not that he couldn't do the role, just think the other guy would do better. though hollyweird cannot make money on the other guy... so throw in a well known person and well you have a hit.
ReplyDeleteIt was Taylor Kitsch! We loved him so in JOHN CARTER!
DeleteI love Taylor, too. He was so hot in John Carter and in Savages. Yumm, yumm. ;)
DeleteJOHN CARTER is the most underrated film ever
DeleteThere's no shortage of super heroes on screen these days.
ReplyDeleteAnd I liked the trailer for Third Person. I'll probably have to be in the right mood to catch that one though. Looks like a downer.
Sadly, yes, I never watch them myself :) In recent years I only watched GREEN LANTERN and MAN OF STEEL, both for obvious reasons :)
DeleteI was amazed by the trailer, especially by most of the performances, it seems so Oscar worthy
Paul Haggis writes great movies and I assume he wrote "Third Person" too. Fab cast!
ReplyDeletehe is one of the best writers and directors out there, I adore his movies
DeleteChanning is really gorgeous, I could see him being Gambit, though I did love Taylor in the role. Either choice is a winner.
ReplyDeleteThird Person looks very intriguing.
I wish Taylor would get a breakthrough in Hollywood
DeleteI'm sorry. Did you type words with this review today? I just can't pull myself away from looking at sexy Channing long enough to see ;)
ReplyDeletehe has that effect on ladies :)
DeleteYou're right... she is funny too.
Deleteindeed she is
DeleteAnd she is a new friend of mine too so life's good.
Deleteyou should apply to some of her giveaways, she always has nice stuff to win if you live in USA
DeleteThank you for the Channing abs photo today! :)
ReplyDeletebe welcome
Deletethey kinda ruined gambit in wolverine origins
ReplyDeletehaven't seen it myself
DeleteI have and I got nearly blind in the process. Angie's got the hots for Wolverine. Wait... that explains the kitty claws. Dezzzz, I've learned something today.
Deletebe welcome and glad to be of help!
DeleteOoh, I'll be looking forward to Gambit's story. I agree with some of the comments that Taylor Kitsch would still be a good match, but who knows. Guess we'll have to wait for the final result to see :)
ReplyDeleteyep, this is just a rumour
DeleteNice pic of Channing. I think he'd make a good Gambit.
ReplyDeletehe would indeed
DeleteChanning's abs are a great way to start my morning. Thank you!

Deletehidden under preteen walrus fat...
DeleteThere's that word again....
DeleteWe're mutants so how come those Hollyheads never showed an interest in our mutantness? I love Mila.
ReplyDeletethat's a big mystery.... we're so dazzling and dEzzling in our mutantness.... it simply screams for a huge blockbuster.....
