In a series of quickly edited shots drenched in a palette of the prerequisite orange and teal, featuring actors fake-baked and color-corrected to an unnatural orange hue and surrounded by a CGI landscape of kabooms, slow-to-fast motion collisions, and Bruce Willis in full-on late-period-bald-Bruce-Willis-paycheck-role mode, the full trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation is basically every other action trailer you’ve seen over the past 10 years. But hey, it’s got The Rock being all The Rock-y, and a storyline that rips off The A-Team. Check it out, courtesy of Paramount Pictures.

Steven Soderbergh continues his streak as one of modern cinema’s most unpredictable, genre-skipping directors (his last few films were a spy thriller, a medical disaster film, a documentary, a true-crime comedy, and an experimental character sketch of a prostitute, respectively) with Magic Mike, a dramedy about a male stripper who really just wants to design custom furniture even as he takes a new young dancer “under his wing and schools him in the fine arts of partying, picking up women, and making easy money.” Yep, really.

The very idea of a 21 Jump Street movie is absurd. Why would you remake the very 1980′s show about cops with youngish looks infiltrating high schools? It’s fitting that directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, and stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum turned the premise into a comedy–but what’s unexpected is how funny and charming it is. For those who’ve felt that Tatum has been given more roles than his talent should allow may be forced to do an about-face after this. Tatum – like the movie – is winning and hilarious.

21 Jump Street hits theaters March 16, and we can tell you that it’s hilarious. Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller knocked it out of the park, and Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum make an excellent comic duo. In fact, this is the movie that finally shows that Tatum should be a movie star. We’ll have interviews with the writer, directors and co-star Rob Riggle next week, but until then, check out the five minute NSFW trailer.

How do you make a sequel to a modestly received blockbuster like the first G.I. Joe? One: you hired Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Bruce Willis for your action star bonafides. Two: You open your trailer and film by slaughtering the majority of the cast from the previous film. That’s Channing Tatum in the first few moments, and then he seems to leave the film (whether temporarily or permanently it’s hard to say). Check out the trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation… Continue Reading

I’ll say this for Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in the 21 Jump Street trailer – it doesn’t feel like they’re trying to play on one’s nostalgia for the 1980′s TV show. Director Phil Lord and Chris Miller have made this their own thing why embracing the absurdity of having men in their late twenties playing teens. Check out the green-band trailer…

1994′s The Crow was a box office success, and spawned a number of (mostly) direct to video sequels. But part of the appeal of that version was its gothic nature, enhanced by the tragedy of Brandon Lee dying during production. Whatever direction Juan Carlos Fresnadillo‘s remake is going, it doesn’t seem to embrace that original spirit. The Hollywood Reporter has received word that Bradley Cooper is out, and the two most likely replacements are Mark Wahlberg and Channing Tatum.

In the past year, we’ve seen a live action adaptation of Alice in Wonderland and read about the development of two Snow White films, so is anyone really surprised that Peter Pan is coming out to play? The face of Neverland is headed to the big screen according to THR. An adaptation of the tale has been packaged and is being pitched to studios and actor Channing Tatum is attached.

Kevin Macdonald steps into Old World Britain for his latest film The Eagle, which stars Channing Tatum in his first real period piece. Tatum with an accent is a big deal. The actor plays a young Roman general who’s on a quest to restore honor to his family’s name after a horrific event that occurred decades earlier under his father’s leadership.
