Channing Tatum Archives

Channing Tatum goes shirtless as trapeze instructor Greg in a short film called The Trap (short for trapeze). The film is directed by Rita Wilson and also stars Camilla Belle, Greg Butler, Gia Carides, Johanna Day, Ray Porter, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Aisha Tyler.

The Trap is about a middle-aged woman named Maggie (Tripplehorn) stuck in a rut and afraid to take risks, until one day, she does. Maggie’s journey of self-discovery begins with a shaky start when she pulls up to an address in a seedy part of town. But after an unforgettable night of opening up to unexpected possibilities, her life will never be the same again.

Step Up star Channing Tatum takes off his dancing shoes and puts on his fighting gloves on the NYC set of his new action drama Fighting.

Fighting is a rough-hewn heroic tale about realizing dreams of glory, putting audiences ringside at high-stakes underground street fights. Channing, 27, stars as Sean Arthur, a young man who scrapes up a living hustling counterfeit merchandise in NYC. With family tragedy in his past and his father keeping him at a distance, this outsider has little to motivate him. A chance encounter with veteran street-fighting coach Harvey Boarden (Terrence Howard) leads to a whole new career for Sean. The ensuing bouts get tough, especially with the criminal element horning in, so Sean gets tougher. He will fight to win, not only the prize money but also the unexpected new relationships that are strengthening him.

Fighting opens in 2008 and is being directed by Dito Montiel, who also directed Channing in 2006’s crime drama A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints.

Stop-Loss studs Ryan Phillippe, Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt show off fashion’s shades of gray in the October 2007 issue of Esquire.

Said director Kimberly Peirce, “Ryan had to not only depict a real-life soldier; he had to earn his stripes as the leader of the cast — I was happy to hear that after boot camp let out and the guys descended into mad partying, Ryan carried one drunk actor (who’ll go unnamed) to his hotel and made sure the rest of his men made it home safe.”

Stop-Loss hits theaters nationwide on March 28, 2008.
