Some of today's most exciting young talents are reported to be joining the cast of the new Oliver Stone film called Pinkville. Says the Hollywood Reporter:

"The film, being produced by United Artists and distributed through MGM, is based on the 1968 My Lai massacre that took place during the Vietnam War. Mikko Alanne wrote the script. " [ read more ]

Included in the line-up are Channing Tatum, Michael Pena, Michael Pitt, Jason Behr and Cam Gigandet.

Of these young actors, Channing Tatum seems to be getting the biggest buzz. The former top male model is doing a number of high-profile projects including a leading role in the new Kimberly Peirce film, Stop Loss. He is also part of The Stanford Prison Experiment remake.

Tatum, who had a very successful modeling career, worked hard to prove himself. After receiving acclaim for his role in Dito Montiel's A Guide to Recognizing your Saint, his acting career seems to be picking up. While some may regard the young actor as potential leading man, Tatum is quite particular with the kind of roles he wish to portray. Says the actor:

"Nowadays I think that people and actors are getting too soft in general. Audiences and critics they don’t like seeing what happens in real life. Why do you think comedies make all the money at the box office?

People want to go and laugh. I can understand that. In a time of war people want to see Will Ferrell, which is what I do. I do the same thing. I want to go see him run around and go crazy. Who wants to go see someone beat the hell out of a woman, because it’s kind of forbidden and a little bit scary. I don’t know. I like intense stuff. I really do. "

That's quite impressive! More of Channing Tatum coming up in our exclusive spotlight!

The Large Association of Movie Blogs has arrived on the scene, and is intended for all audiences.

Read up on the latest sites: who's behind them, what their focus is, their goals and what you can expect when visiting.

For movie bloggers: this is a place for your blog to be spotlighted, in its own feature post, for all to see. Additionally, the LAMB is a community of film bloggers, some like you and proably some totally unlike you. We regularly have events and blog-a-thons, from our LAMB Devours the Oscars series to Plot Farms to our annual awards, The LAMMYS.

FOCUS ON EMERGING TALENTS

tMF (The Movie Fanatic) is focused in providing the latest news about cinema's emerging talents. We feature interviews and profiles of mainly up-and-coming young actors in our Spotlight, Emerging Talents and On the Verge sections.
