Next stop for Channing Tatum: Washington, DC.

The "21 Jump Street" star has signed on to save 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. from evil with the lead role in "White House Down," according to Deadline.

The film has been described as "'Die Hard' in the White House" (say no more; we're there) as it focuses on a paramilitary takeover of the President's home. Tatum will play a Secret Service agent — and, we're guessing, America's Last Hope.

"White House Down" is being directed by Roland Emmerich, the Master of Disaster who allegedly destroyed the world for the last time in "2012" and has since moved o...

Two Jews on Film - By Joan Alperin-Schwartz: Yes 'Anonymous' is a political thriller, but it's one that is set in the past, 400 years ago to be precise.

Sounds dull? Believe me, it's anything but.

Whether you agree with the premise or not, 'Anonymous' is an exciting, sexy, suspenseful, exquisitely acted and intriguing fi...

It appears that Will Smith will be back to save the United States from aggressive and revenge seeking aliens for not one, but two "Independence Day" sequels.

This past November, director Roland Emmerich told MTV that the sequels were in development, and now it look likes Will Smith is on-board to dust off the pilot uniform and resume his role as Captain Steven Hiller.

"Independence Day" was a major success when it pr...

A new list from Vanity Fair includes the actors, directors, and producers who made the most money in 2009. "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" director Michael Bay topped the list with a staggering $125 million paycheck.

"Avatar" director James Cameron earned a mere $50 million, but figures are based on worlwide estimates up to Dec. 31. Since the film has grossed over $2 billion since then, it's likely his paycheck will double.

The higest paid actress? "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson ($30 million). The highest paid actor? Her co-star Daniel Radcliffe ($41 million). Their pal Rupe...
