A SouthernBoy in SCoTlAnd A former stripper from Alabama might not be the first guy you’d think of when casting a Scottish period piece. But Channing Tatum has buzz, and that goes a long way toward landing any role n By Mark PIlkINgTON

ver the past couple of years, Alabama-born model- turned-actor Channing Tatum has gotten notice for, well, if not his acting, his screen presence. Roles in the breakdance movie Step Up 2: The Streets, the big-budget (but critically reviled) G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and the romantic weepie Dear John have earned the buff 30-year-old (he also spent time as a stripper and a street dancer before getting his big break) a growing legion of fans. The question is: Can he carry a heavy period piece like The Eagle? Set in 140 AD, the film stars Tatum as a Roman centurion who journeys to Scotland to investigate the disappearance of his father’s entire Ninth Legion — 5,000 soldiers in total — 20 years earlier. Accompanying him on this perilous mission is a British slave played by Jamie Bell. Directed by Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland), this is the first big-screen adaption of the 1954 novel The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff. We caught up with Tatum on the film’s blisteringly hot set in Hungary, Marcus Aquila which, with a careful eye on budget and labour costs, serves as England. The (Channing Tatum) leads sunny weather certainly made for a nice change from rainy Scotland, where his soldiers in The Eagle shooting of the second part of the movie would take place. CONTINUED

Are you self-critical? “Yeah. It’s such an insecure thing, being an actor. You just never know how you come across. There are so many things that can go wrong ON in a film. You can make a brilliant film, but if you don’t have good publicity, it doesn’t see the light of day.”

Is it true that there are plans for a G.I. Joe sequel? “I hope so. It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it’s in the pipeline. It was a popcorn film, through and through. There is a different crowd that OSCAR goes to Last King of Scotland than who goes to G.I. Joe. I can guarantee G.I.

aster thespian. Budding filmmaker. Published author. Doctoral candidate. Soap opera star. Occasional drag queen. Intermittent goofball. And this month, James Franco adds Oscar host to the most eclectic résumé in Hollywood. For a once painfully self-conscious artist like Franco, the biggest night in show business could mark the final stage of a long journey toward personal acceptance. That is, if he and co-host Anne Hathaway don’t blow the tricky job in front of the Academy Awards’ worldwide audience of several hundred million. The native of California’s Silicon Valley has certainly got the comedy chops for the assignment, if his work in Pineapple Express, Date Night, The Green Hornet and hosting Saturday Night Live is any indication. And moviegoers who saw last year’s challenging 127 Hours or Howl, or 2008’s Milk, know that Franco, 32, is a consummate performer. Still, there are doubts out there that two young actors can hold the attention of both the Oscars’ massive broadcast viewership and the live audience of top industry talent they’ll be playing to in the Kodak Theatre. Such otherwise accomplished crowd-pleasers as David Letterman and Jon Stewart got mixed reviews hosting the Academy Awards, after all. It’s doubtful, though, that anything spooks Franco at this point.
