Just when you think a movie about male strippers is heating up with some seriously good lookin’ beefcake (Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer) a few more hot hot hot guys enter the picture.

Matthew McConaughey, True Blood‘s Joe Manganiello and White Collar‘s Matthew Bomer have signed on for roles in Magic Mike to be directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Mike is semi-autobiographical of Tatum’s true past as a male dancer in Florida.

McConaughey will play a retired stripper who owns the club that the others work in. Pettyfer is the young guy, new on the scene with Tatum playing the more experienced dancer who takes Pettyfer under his wing and shows him the ropes (gosh, that sounded pornographic…)

Moving on.

Manganiello and Bomer are members of the male dance troupe.

I am happy with this cast. Well done.

The Wrath of Con party is billed as the hottest party at Comic-Con, and the thermometer surely rose at Stingaree in San Diego when both Channing Tatum (Dear John) and Kellan Lutz (Twilight) walked in.

No elaborate Comic-Con cosplay for these two:  both guys chose classic, casual looks for the event.  Channing went for a hipster-preppy look with a classic grandfather cardigan, while  Kellan showed off his arms in a black t-shirt.

So I have a question.  If you had had the opportunity to attend the Wrath of Con party, which of these two hotties would you have wanted to be your date:  Kellan Lutz or Channing Tatum?  Check out more photos after the jump, then drop a comment and let us know your choice.

Channing Tatum is set to play a male stripper in an upcoming Steven Soderbergh movie called Magic Mike.

…it draws on Channing Tatum’s own history as a male stripper, though unlike in real life, he’ll play the old veteran who tutors an up and comer on the grinds of working in the industry. Speaking about the project, Tatum issues the following statement, “This was a wild and pivotal time in my life and I couldn’t be more thrilled to go down the rabbit hole with Steven.” A wild time is probably an understatement. The Reid Carolin penned script reportedly features plenty of boozing, women, partying and of course, disrobing.

Since Channing Tatum used to be a male stripper before he hit it big in hollywood, this isn’t much of a stretch for him. Steven Soderbergh is really a hit or miss director for me and the subject matter isn’t exactly something that appeals to me. Needless to say I’m not looking forward to this one. I doubt the masses are either, but Soderbergh rarely tries to appeal to everyone anyway.

Channing Tatum is likely to star in the new movie remake 21 Jump Street with Jonah Hill.

Channing Tatum has jumped to the top of the list for the lead of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s 21 Jump Street.I’m told that Tatum will soon be in negotiations to star alongside Jonah Hill. Production will begin in the spring.

Based on the 1987 Stephen J. Cannell series that was one of the Fox Network’s early successes and launched Johnny Depp, the movie was co-written by Hill and will be directed by Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs helmers Phil Lord and Chris Miller. I’m told that the studio has met with a bunch of potential leading men and that Tatum and Hill matched up well. Both look youthful, which helps since the film is about undercover officers who infiltrate schools to fight crime.

Not a good actor in anything I’ve seen him in, maybe he’s been taking some classes? This is one of those obscure titles that will have to really be hyped to grab the attention of the youth. I guess that’s the reasoning behind Tatum‘s casting; female viewers.

Channing Tatum wasn’t around for the Emmys last night because he was out of the country.  The Fighting hottie was spotted out yesterday afternoon, heading back to his hotel after a nice jog.  Perhaps that is his script in his arm…

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming film Dear John, based on the book from the author of The Notebook.

I couldn’t want to see this movie any less. Pure ‘chick flick’ through and through, but who knows maybe it will be good? I doubt it, Channing Tatum has failed to prove himself as an actor in my opinion, he always sounds like he’s reading the lines off the page.

A sequel to G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra is definitely on its way, soon.

Paramount Picture’s vice chairman, Rob Moore, confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that a sequel “will soon go into development.” According to the report, all of the movie’s lead actors are “contractually obligated to return for another film,” though director Stephen Sommers is not.

The movie already made over $100 million world wide, you know that’s enough success to start up a sequel. Besides the movie’s title in itself practically calls for a sequel.

Paramount Pictures is keeping the critics from seeing G.I. Joe early.

“G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” opens Friday, but Paramount Pictures isn’t screening the blockbuster for critics beforehand. Only a select few writers from blogs and movie Web sites have seen it for review – such as Harry Knowles, the self-professed “Head Geek” from Ain’t It Cool News – and their opinions have been mostly positive.

Instead, the studio says it’s intentionally aiming the movie at the heartland, at cities and audiences outside the entertainment vortexes of New York and Los Angeles. Paramount held a screening Friday for 1,000 military service members and their families at Andrews Air Force Base; it’s also focusing marketing efforts in places like Kansas City, Charlotte, N.C., and Columbus, Ohio.

While appealing to a sense of patriotism nationwide, the plan also is inspired by the disparity that existed between the critical trashing “Transformers: Rise of the Fallen” received and the massive crowds it drew at the box office.

This just proves that they know the movie is bad, but regardless it’s going to make a lot of money. I used to like G.I. Joe as a kid, so I’m inexorably drawn to it.
