The insanity surrounding Captain America continues to get grow with the latest batch of rumors surrounding the film. Multiple sources are reporting that Channing Tatum is now up for the role of Steve Rogers, and Keira Knightley, Emily Blunt, and She’s Out Of My League star Alice Eve could appear as his female lead. I knew his name would pop up in this race sooner or later.
From the award winning novel by critically acclaimed author Nicholas Sparks, comes the current box office champ, (breaking Avatar’s record) Dear John. Following in the footsteps of A Walk to Remember and The Notebook, director Lasse Hallstrom plays off that love lorn history to captivate a new audience. The film stars everyone’s favorite heartthrob, Channing Tatum as a soldier who falls in love with a college student while on leave. The always refreshing Amanda Seyfried plays the object of his affection, and adds a breath of fresh air to this 21st century love story.
Here’s what happened when we got the opportunity to speak with Tatum, Seyfried, and the creator of it all, Nicholas Sparks…
The two standout movies coming out this week are both love stories. The first is director Lasse Hallstrom’s adaptation of Nicholas Sparks‘ newest bestseller, Dear John. The man who wrote The Notebook, brings us the story a young soldier named John Tyree (Channing Tatum) and his one true love Savannah (Amanda Seyfried). The pair have good on screen chemistry and are not bad to look at. I definitely think this movie will be number 1 this week.
The other movie worth watching is Pierre Morel’s film From Paris With Love. This isn’t a love story in the traditional sense, although it is about the love one man has for action. It stars John Travolta as a bad ass Agent and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen or heard anything from the upcoming epic film, The Eagle of the Ninth.
