Dear Channing Tatum: we know Dear John did really well at the box office, but not every film you get attached to has to have a heavy romantic element to it. Channing obviously disagrees, because hot on the heels of him signing onto romantic drama The Vow with Rachel McAdams comes word that he’s involved in Ion, a sci-fi pic that, yup, features a decent chunk of the old lurve.

Clearly still rejoicing over the avalanche of money that Avatar brought in, Fox is now developing the film via Fox 2000. Ion follows a man (Tatum), who crosses dimensions and scours alternate Earths to find his reincarnated lover.

The script, written by Brit Will Dunn, has been floating out in Hollywood since last year, when most of the studios passed on it. But thanks to James Cameron, the companies are now very interested in science fiction that can combine epic spectacle with mainstream crowd-pleasing emotion.

Dunn got his start with a spec called Children of the Gun, but while it didn’t sell, it did get him a meeting with Ridley and Tony Scott, who agreed to help develop his next project with an eye to getting it made.

And who knows? If Fox gets excited by the possibilities of Ion, Ridley Scott might even add it to his list of 7,000 current potential directing jobs. Or, maybe Tony could grab it, tweaking the concept to feature a man who must journey between worlds because they keep blowing up…

Okay, okay… So Ron Howard’s latest film isn’t actually called Cheaters. That’s just the name attached for now while the script circulates to various actors. And one of those who has read it is Channing Tatum, and he’s now agreed to play a part.

The film – whether it ends up being called Cheaters, Your Cheating Heart or Super Sad Infidelity Wrong Go (to appeal to the lucrative Japanese market) – already features Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin James and Winona Ryder.

Vaughn discovers that his best mate (James)’s wife (Ryder) is running around behind his back with some hunky tattoo-laden type (Tatum). Naturally, he’s torn up wondering whether he should tell his friend about his wife’s actions.

Howard will start shooting the thing this June in Chicago.

 

Amanda Seyfried thinks Channing Tatum is a better kisser than Megan Fox.

The actress locked lips with the hunk in their new movie 'Dear John' and she admitted she enjoyed the experience much more than her same-sex encounter in horror film 'Jennifer's Body'.

When asked which of her two co-stars was the better kisser, Amanda said: "Channing of course".

The blonde beauty and Channing braved the cold and rain to attend the UK gala screening of 'Dear John' at London's Odeon Kensington, where the stars also spoke about their off-screen romances.

Amanda Seyfried, fresh from seducing everyone around her in Chloe and sweeping Channing Tatum off his feet (and the US box office) in Dear John, is planning a new film with McG, based on the Rolling Stone article The Girl Who Conned The Ivy League.

It's the story of a young woman called Esther Reed who, unhappy with her own life, adopted other identities in order to reinvent herself and get into college. Despite being a high-school dropout, her new identities helped her to get into prestigious colleges (including time spent at Harvard and Columbia) and collect student loans - until an investigation into a disappeared girl revealed that Esther was using her name falsely.

At the moment, McG and Seyfried are attached to a pitch by screenwriter Lorene Scafaria  (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist) based on the article by Sabrina Rubin Erdely. There's a long way to go, therefore, before we see this one come together, but it sounds like it's worth keeping an eye on, a sort of Catch Me If You Can for the modern day.

Add Channing Tatum to the list of actors being considered for the role of Captain America.

The co-star of the recent weepie "Dear John" now joins soap star Wilson Blethel ("The Young and the Restless") and Mike Vogel ("She's Out of My League"), who have screen-tested, as well as Chris Evans ("Fantastic Four"), who has read for the part. Marvel Studios is also still keen on Garrett Hedlund ("Tron Legacy").

At this stage Tatum, who just wrapped filming on the Steven Soderbergh action flick "Knockout," has only been approached for the role and has not seen a script. The actor played Duke in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," but despite that movie doing modestly at the box office, fanboy reaction was muted and its viability as a franchise is set on neutral.

Tatum certainly has the heft for Captain America, but can he play the 98-pound weakling alter ego Steve Rogers was before taking the super-serum which turns him into a perfect human specimen? This could be Tatum's chance to pull a "Machinist" -- Christian Bale lost 60 pounds for the role in the 2004 drama which, while attracting some heat from health groups, received acclaim for his performance in that movie.

Casting for other roles in the Captain America movie is just as hot.

Hugo Weaving's deal is still being worked on, though not much movement has occurred since last week.

And the search is on for the female lead. Details for the part are being kept secret for now but it is rumored to be his flame Betsy Ross (ironically, named after the woman who is credited with creating the American flag). Keira Knightley was approached last week, but the studio is also looking at other actresses.

Channing Tatum's wife forced him to do a striptease for her.

The 'Step Up' actor enjoyed his time as an exotic dancer when he was 18 and says his spouse Jenna Dewan - who he married last July - was delighted when he revealed his secret to her, but insisted he showed off his skills straight away.

He said: "I did it for almost a year. I've lived a crazy life, for sure.

"It seemed like a fun thing to do at the time and I got out unscathed. It's nothing I'm ashamed of and I'm not proud of it either. I wanted to talk about it in the beginning of my career but my publicist wouldn't let me.

Channing Tatum "burned the skin off" his penis.

The 29-year-old actor suffered the agonising injury while trying to keep warm when shooting 'The Eagle of the Ninth' in the Scottish Highlands in October.

He explained: "The only way to keep warm was by pouring a mix of boiling water and river water down your suit. We were finally done shooting for the day, and one of the crew guys asks if I want to warm up before I go. I'm like, Nah, I'm good. And then I thought, Why not?

"Thing is, he'd forgotten to dilute the kettle water. So he poured scalding water down my suit. And I was trying to pull the suit away from my body to somehow get away from the boiling water, and the more I pulled the suit away, the lower the water went. It just went straight down and pretty much burned the skin off the head of my d**k."

Channing  - who describes the incident as "the most painful thing" he had ever experienced - was taken to hospital, but with the nearest medical facility over an hour away, the former stripper struggled to cope with the agony.

He added to Details magazine: "I said to the driver, who was ex-special-forces Marines, 'You might have to knock me out, because I don't know if I can take the pain. Just grab something and hit me on the back of my head.

Filming has begun on the Roman epic adventure "The Eagle of the Ninth," starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell and Donald Sutherland, its producers said.

Oscar winner Kevin Macdonald is directing the movie, which is being shot entirely on location in Hungary and Scotland.

The film is co-financed by Film4 with Focus Features, which holds worldwide rights excluding U.K. free TV.

The project reunites Macdonald with Jeremy Brock, the BAFTA Award-winning screenwriter of his 2006 film, "The Last King of Scotland."

Brock adapted the screenplay of "The Eagle of the Ninth" from Rosemary Sutcliff's novel of the same name.

"All of us at Focus are thrilled to be once again collaborating with our colleagues at Film4 -- their support for the most exciting voices in British filmmaking is unparalleled," Focus Features Chief Executive Officer James Schamus.

Twilight star Christian Serratos (pictured) is dishing secrets from Twilight and the New Moon movie and has said that the cast of the movie often hang out together off-set. Serratos, 18, played the role of Bella's schoolmate, Angela Weber, in the movie and will reprise her role in New Moon, due out later this year.

Talking about how the films have taken off, she said: "It was an epic experience and so massive. I didn't expect it. But we all get along so well. "We film and get our work done, and then we all get together, we go to dinner, we have fun. We're all around the same age so we just mesh really well."

More Twilight buzz...GI Joe star Channing Tatum's wife Jenna Dewan has revealed that she thinks her husband would have been perfect to play the role of Riley in Eclipse. Dewan, 28, said she believes Tatum, 29, would have been ideal for the role of Riley in the third instalment of the Twilight saga, Eclipse. The part of Riley eventually went to Xavier Samuel in the flick, but Dewan believes director David Slade should have picked Tatum.
She said: "I totally tried to get him to do it. I was like: 'Baby, do Twilight!' Oh, my god. I'm a huge Twilight fan. I've read all the books. So I was like: 'You should do it, you should do it, you should do it!'" The Public Enemies actor met Dewan on the set of the 2006 dance movie Step Up and began dating soon after. They married last month in Malibu, California.
