While doing an interview discussing their summer action flick, WHITE HOUSE DOWN, by director Roland Emmerich about an all out assault on the White House, gifted thespian and funny man, Jamie Foxx, and up and comer Channing Tatum, take a few minutes to tease each's upcoming and highly anticipated films, JUPITER ASCENDING and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2.
JUPITER ASCENDING, the upcoming sci-fi film from the Wachowskis, starring Tatum and Mila Kunis (OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL) tells the story of a young woman played by Kunis who discovers she has a very important destiny. Tatum plays an ex-soldier and hunter who is also a wolf man of sorts. “I’m a splice, splices are essentially built in a test tube. I’m a hybrid wolf and human. And half albino, so I’m a little defective.” Tatum also highlights that the film utilizes few digital stunt men. “We are breaking ground on—I mean it’s a tough shoot. We’re doing stuff that’s never been done, inside the camera, in the CG world, and the physical stuff. There’s very little, if not no, digital stuntmen in the movie. All the stuff is really real and it’s been hard figuring it out because they don’t like doing anything that’s been done before. So we’re definitely doing some new stuff, so hopefully everybody likes it. And it’s fun, it’s got some cheek to it. It’s a cheeky movie a little bit.”
While Foxx did not go into a lot of detail regarding Marc Webb's highly anticipated sequel, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 and his role as primary adversary to everyone's favorite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, Foxx did admit, “I’m just happy to be a part of it. I’ll let you know this: Spider-Man definitely has a formidable opponent, someone who really does not like him.”
Look for JUPITER ASCENDING in 3D in theaters on July 25, 2014 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to swing into theaters in 3D on May 2, 2014.
