Tatum is to play Magic Mike, who schools a young dancer in the tricks of the trade. The project draws on the actor’s real-life experiences as a stripper when he was a 19-year-old in Tampa. The start date for the privately financed pic is yet to be determined. The film will be produced by Nick Wechsler, Gregory Jacobs, Tatum and Reid Carolin, who is also writing the script. “When Channing talked to me about this, I thought it was one of the best ideas I’d ever heard for a movie. I said I wanted in immediately. It’s sexy, funny and shocking. We’re using Saturday Night Fever as our model, so hopefully we’re on the right track," Soderbergh said in a statement. Added Tatum, "This was a wild and pivotal time in my life and I couldn't be more thrilled to go down the rabbit hole with S

Northern California boy  Jeremy Renner continues his march toward Hollywood domination. The two-time Oscar nominee, who has been on an upward trajectory since starring in best picture winner The Hurt Locker, has formed The Combine, a production company he will run with partner Don Handfield.

While other Martin Luther King projects seem to be on the ropes, DreamWorks’ untitled MLK biopic is starting to come together. Kario Salem, best known for writing the 2001 Robert De Niro-Edward Norton drama The Score , is in negotiations to pen the project, which also sees Warner Bros. coming on board to co-finance and to distribute with Disney’s Touchstone label. (Disney is where DreamWorks is housed.) DreamWorks acquired the life rights of the civil rights leader in May 2009, with Sam Nappi, Suzanne de Passe and Madison Jones on board as producers. Not only did it secure the cooperation of the King estate, the studio also has access to King's intellectual property, including his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Warners, meanwhile, had been working on its biopic for several years and had a Salem script in deep development. Salem is said to have done three-and-a-half years worth of research and interviews when writing his screenplay. But while the DreamWorks and Wa

NEW YORK, NY – APRIL 29, 2011 —Dave Abbitt, Managing Member of Coll-Abbitt Productions, announced today that Frances O’Connor (Bedazzled) has joined the cast of Ted Koland’s directorial debut “ Lumpy ” starring Justin Long, Jess Weixler, Tyler Labine and Addison Timli n… “Frances rounds LUMPY out as the perfect compliment to our already stellar cast,” said Abbitt. “Adeptly maintaining a strong presence while adding an underlying vulnerability to the role of Jaime.” The best man at Scott (Long) and Kristin’s (Weixler) Arizona destination wedding, Lumpy (Labine) is the life of the party, until a long, indulgent night leads to his untimely death.

It’s been six years since the iconic swashbuckler Zorro was last seen on the screen, courtesy of Antonio Banderas and James Bond director Martin Campbell, in the period action piece " The Legend of Zorro ." But the character could be on his way back, sans swashbuckling -- and, in fact, sans the past entirely. A reboot titled " Zorro Reborn " is being developed at Fox that will remove the character from his historical California or Mexico setting. Unlike many of the previous Zorros (real name: Don Diego de la Vega) brandishing whips and swords, the hero of the new installment will live in the future -- specifically a desolate and post-apocalyptic one, according to a person familiar with the film who asked not to be identified. A Fox spokeswoman declined to comment. In this version, Zorro will be less a caped crusader for justice than a one-man vigilante force bent on revenge, in a western story that has echoes of both Sergio Leone and "No Country for Ol

The Internet is abuzz over this week's 900th issue of Action Comics , in which Superman says, "I am renouncing my US citizenship." After officials criticize him for joining a million protesters in a peaceful anti-Ahmadinejad vigil in Iran, he reflects, "I'm tired of having my actions construed as instruments of US policy. 'Truth, Justice and the American Way' -- it's not enough anymore. The world's too small. Too connected." Say What? "This is absolutely sickening," commented one reader on Foxnews.com. "We are now down to destroying all American Icons. How are we going to survive as a Nation?" Swamp Fox Press blogged, "Bleep Superman. I urge a boycott of Warner Brothers, all DC franchises, and particularly Superman." The neoconservative Weekly Standard called Superman's citizenship renunciation "about the dumbest thing DC Comics could do." Not necessarily. It's part of a thoughtful plan

We start in the concentration camps with him and it cuts to 20 years later and it’s the early 60s and it’s Erik as a grown man. He’s on a quest to get Sebastian Shaw, played by Kevin Bacon. Shaw had him in these concentration camps – and as we know the Nazis were doing lots of experimentation with all sorts of things like measuring skull size and brain size and running experiments on human beings, essentially. Shaw is trying to unleash this power in Magneto – he’s recognised that he can manipulate metal – and so we catch up with Erik on a quest to basically hunt Shaw down.” Wa
