Happy Halloween From The Tatum's!!!

OK. You got me. The picture on today's post is obviously neither Channing Tatum nor his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum, but there's still a treat at the end of this tiny trick. Dressed in their Halloween outfits we have Jenna's adorable dog Meeka (the fairy) and Chan's rambunctious little Lulu Bella (the carnival clown) wishing everyone a very HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

P.S. Thanks to Jenna for the great photo!

UPDATE (11/1/2009): Jenna's in Scotland visiting Chan again, but she didn't let that stop her from celebrating All Hallows Eve like everyone else. Here's a great photo that Jenna tweeted this morning showing her "Halloween attempt at "burlesque, eyes wide shut" makeup"...

NEWS FLASH: Jenna Dewan-Tatum Joins the Cast of 'The Legend of Hell's Gate: An American Conspiracy'

A little over a week ago Channing Tatum's wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, tweeted that she is going to be filming a western soon and told us to stay tuned for more info on the project. Today she came through on that promise and tweeted...

"The next movie I'm going to do is called The Legend of Hells Gate. It's a western period film. Very excited to work with grt character actors."

In CTU fashion, I used that little tidbit of info to learn what I could about the new project and here's what I found...

The full title of the movie is 'The Legend of Hell's Gate: An American Conspiracy', is written and directed by Tanner Beard and also stars James Lafferty ("One Tree Hill"), Robert Buckley ("Lipstick Jungle", "Priviledged", "One Tree Hill") and Chan's 'Dear John' co-star Henry Thomas.

Jenna will play the role of Katherine Prescott in the film and here's the plot for the historical action adventure...

"The story of how 'Hell's Gate' at Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas came to have it's name. Relive the story of how three outlaws expeditions and encounters through historical 1870s Texas were remembered for a lifetime."

The movie started filming on October 18th in Boerne, Texas, and I also read that the production will be filming in the Texas cities of Granbury and Possum Kingdom Lake in Palo Alto county. The film even has an official Twitter , which is where I found the set photos you see below...

Again, I want to give a big CONGRATS to Jenna on her new role!

CHANNING TATUM & JENNA DEWAN VIDEOS OF THE WEEK: Fan Tributes to Chan and Chenna

Today's Videos of the Week were created by Fabulous Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Fans and Youtube users twiLover093 and jackss911music. You all can check out their awesome tributes to Chan (which uses one of my favorite songs, "No Air" by Jordin Sparks) and our favorite couple Chenna below. Enjoy!!!

Thanks to twiLover093 and jackss911music for creating the great videos!

Chan also wanted me to let ya'll know that he's a bit backlogged on completing autograph requests. His fans are extremely important to him and he actually signs all of the autograph requests himself. No stamps are ever used. He's been away promoting 'G.I. Joe' and filming 'Eagle of the Ninth' since late July and has gotten a little behind on the responses. Chan promises to get caught up when he finishes filming in the next few weeks, so thanks for everyone's patience.

If you have a favorite video that you would like me to consider, send a link to the video to votw@channingtatumunwrapped.com and tell me why you like it. I will post it and your explanation on the blog.

NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum to Star in Dito Montiel's Newest Movie & Nominated for People's Choice Award

In case you all missed the tweet on Channing Tatum's official Twitter, Production Weekly just confirmed that Chan will be starring in yet another Dito Montiel film very soon.

First there was 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints', then 'Fighting', then 'Brotherhood of the Rose', and now we have 'Son of No One'. All written and directed by Dito Montiel and all starring Channing Tatum.

I think Chan may have mentioned this film when he was doing press for 'Fighting' in April, but there's not a lot of details out there for it yet. What we do know is that Chan will be acting along side his 'Fighting' co-star Terrence Howard, James Gandolfini from "The Sopranos" and Robert De Niro from more movies than I could ever list here and who coincidentally also executive produced Chan's 2009 historical drama 'Public Enemies'.

The dramatic thriller is about a young cop who is assigned to a precinct in the working class neighborhood where he grew up, and an old secret threatens to destroy his life and his family.

Production Weekly reported that 'Son of No One' is scheduled to start filming this January. I'm not sure where the movie's going to be filming yet, but knowing Dito's love of New York City, I'm willing to bet good money that Chan may once again be roaming the streets of NYC come January.

Thanks to CTU reader Belinda, I found out that Chan has been nominated for a People's Choice Award this year. Please make sure you vote for Chan in the "Favorite Action Star" category and then you should also mosey on over to the "Favorite Movie" category to vote for Chan's movie 'G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra'.

The People's Choice Awards celebrates fan favorites in music, movies and television and is the only major awards show where real people - not industry insiders - determine the nominees and winners. The 2010 show will be broadcast live from Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE on January 6, 2010 on the CBS Television Network.

With three movies under his belt and 'G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra' breaking the $300 million mark this week, 2009 has officially been an extremely successful year in the world of Mr. Channing Tatum, so the casting announcement and People's Choice Award nomination didn't surprise me one bit. Congrats to Chan and everyone make sure to vote for him early often!!!

New Photos of Jenna Dewan at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood Event and on “Melrose Place”

On today's post, we have new photos of Channing Tatum's wife (aka Jenna Dewan) as she arrives at ELLE’s 16th Annual Women In Hollywood Tribute at the Four Seasons Hotel on October 19, 2009 in Beverly Hills, California and new promotional photos from her "Melrose Place" shoot.

ELLE brought together an intimate group of Hollywood’s best and brightest talent for a celebration dinner honoring women’s achievements in film. This year’s honorees ranged from screen legend Julie Andrews to talented casting director Bonnie Timmermann, as well as several of today’s most critically-acclaimed actresses: Emily Blunt, Katie Holmes, Julianne Moore, Robin Wright Penn and Renee Zellweger (who were all showcased in this month's issue of the magazine which features ELLE's prestigious Women in Hollywood Power List by respected entertainment news blogger Nikke Finke).

Jenna tweeted about the event before and after and even let us know about a new role she just landed...

"Have an @elle_com Women In Hollywood event to go to, my favorite! so inspiring. they are honoring renee z, juianne moore, k. holmes etc..yea...Very inspired after my evening at Elle mag event. Julie andrews was there! Legend!! Love what I do...also, in other news..i am going to go film a western soon! very fun role, great cast of actors..stay tuned for more info xx"

CONGRATS to Jenna on the new role!!! In the photos below, you can see for yourself how absolutely glowing and beyond beautiful Jenna (in a George Chakra dress, Ippolita jewels and Sergio Rossi shoes) looked at the event...

Thanks to fan @maxdil we also have some great new promotional photos of Jenna Dewan as Kendra with Michael Rady as Jonah Miller at Katsuya (a Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles) in tonight's “Windsor” episode of "Melrose Place" on The CW. Enjoy!

Jenna appears in at least two episodes (seven and eight) and plays a movie executive named Kendra Wilson who works on the Paramount lot and has her eyes on Jonah Miller, an aspiring filmmaker. Her character is described as an ivy league graduate, wickedly sexy and wickedly smart.

I'm so excited for Jenna! She did a really great job in tonight's episode and I can't wait to see her second episode in two weeks!

Want to see more? You can head on over to the CTU Photo Gallery for the rest of the pics of Jenna at the the ELLE party and larger versions of the promotional photos from her "Melrose Place" shoot.

PICTURES OF THE WEEK: Channing Tatum in Scotland Working on ‘Eagle of the Ninth’

Each week Channing Tatum Unwrapped will post one or more of our favorite pictures of the uber hot Channing Tatum.

Believe it or not, we haven't seen a new photo of Channing Tatum in public since early August when he left the US to start filming his Roman epic 'Eagle of the Ninth' in Hungary.

The production has now moved on, and we have some new photos of Chan after he arrived in Glascow, Scotland to shoot the movie on Thursday, October 15, 2009 thanks to JustJared.com.

Fans can check out today's Pictures of the Week below...

'The Eagle of the Ninth' is based on the best-selling, classic 1954 teen novel by Rosemary Sutcliff, and is set in the dangerous world of second-century Britain.

In 140 AD, twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (played by Channing) arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth. Accompanied only by his British slave Esca (Jamie Bell), Marcus sets out across Hadrian's Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia - to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father's memory, and retrieve the lost legion's golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth.

'The Eagle of the Ninth' will be filming in the Loch Lomond area of Scotland for the next six weeks and is scheduled to hit theaters some time in 2010!!!

If you have a favorite picture from this blog, our photo gallery, a picture you have made or a picture that you have found on the net that you would like me to consider, send the picture or a link to the picture to potw@channingtatumunwrapped.com and tell me why you like it. I will post it and your explanation on the blog. If you like or don't like today's picture (for some completely insane reason), let everyone know that too by clicking on the comments link below. :-)
