Dear John looks like it is going to be the B-List version of The Notebook. I like Amanda Seyfried, but other than being nice to look at I just don't see Channing Tatum as a serious actor. When reading this book I envisioned James Franco and Anne Hathaway; I would have been pleased with Franco and Seyfried. Having Tatum be the lead in this does nothing to make me want to see this...I hope I'm wrong and a trailer will convince me otherwise, but right now I'd pass.
I like that they made a poster for slinky, it shows that he is still in the movie. I wonder how they did his voice. Maybe they had enough voiceover work from Jim Varney that they didn't use in the first two. I hope they didn't recast the role.
Who would you like to see be the main villain in the next Batman film?

ReplyDeleteIf you want to see Tatum show some real potential watch A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, he's surprisingly effective.

ReplyDeleteOn the Dear John front, I don't hate Tatum as much as most, but yes, there are stronger actors that could have been casr
ReplyDeleteAnd for Slinky, I've heard conflicting reports, but I think they have a new actor, don't quote me though
