Channing Tatum Talks Gambit

We’ve known for a while that Channing Tatum has ambitions to play roguishly charming, New Orleans native X-Men mutant Gambit on screen, and that X-producer Laura Shuler Donner would also like it to happen, which means the idea is now in official development. While out stumping for 22 Jump Street , Tatum has shared more of his hopes for the character . “Creatively, we’re starting to chug forward. Obviously there’s nothing official,” Tatum told MTV News about the progress so far. “There are only conversations and dreams right now, really.” Still, he’s happy that it’s even gotten this far. “I’ve been pretty vocal about wanting to be the part of Gambit for a very long time. It’s a weird, pinching-myself moment that we’re even having the conversation.” Though there has been talk of meeting this new Gambit in X-Men: Apocalypse, the follow-up to Days Of Future Past, Tatum believes that they could go another way in re-introducing the character originally embodied by Taylor Kitsch in X-Me...

Days of Future Past Review: What X-Men Should Have Been All Along

X-Men: Days of Future Past is a sound superhero flick that dares to admit, "We did it wrong." 20th Century Fox's X-Men franchise is a study in inconsistent frustration. Riddled with canon issues from 2000's X-Men through the highly controversial The Last Stand , comic fans and newbies have come to woefully accept that their vision of the Marvel comic is no longer their own. After a refreshing reboot in First Class , hope was aroused that Fox had finally gotten its act together, and then The Wolverine arrived and that hope seemed dashed once more. But Days of Future Past re-establishes the universe, cleaning up several (but not all) major plot holes while delivering an excellent superhero character study that doesn't need a lot of big effects to sell itself. The future is a dark and dreadful existence, as both humans and mutants suffer under the thumb of The Sentinels - massive robots initially built to target mutants. Unfortunately, their pr...

Rebecca De Mornay To Play Mommy in 'Mother's Day' Remake

Rebecca De Mornay To Play Mommy in 'Mother's Day' Remake Rebecca De Mornay is getting in touch with her maternal instincts with "Mother's Day," Darren Lynn Bousman's remake of Charles Kaufman's 1980 Troma cult classic. De Mornay's casting as the title character is the final piece of the puzzle for the movie, which shoot in Winnipeg in September. The original " Mother's Day " revolved around three female friends who, while camping, run afoul of two brothers who engage in murder and rape to impress their deranged mother. The new version, written by Scott Milam, is being remolded as a psychological thriller in which the wicked family returns to the house where they grew up to terrorize the new owners and their guests. Mother, as the character is called, will to go any length to protect her children. The part echoes the evil nanny part De Mornay played in 1992's "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, a comparison not lost on the film...
