Channing Tatum reveals heart, mind in 'The Vow'

"The Oath", directed by Michael Sucsy has no trouble recalling his first impressions of Channing Tatum, at least, not anymore. "A friend reminded me that he showed me a question or GQ and Details (Tatum) has been on the cover, and I said," Well, I would work with him!

"He's a very attractive guy, but when his name came up for" Oath "... I always saw him play in these emotionally cold, such as military units." After meeting with the actor, however, said Sucsy producers: "It is ideally suited for this, this guy got more heart than his chest.". I felt that at this meeting and can confirm it now. He is a white horse, he plays in this film "

Only after seven years in business, Tatum is a complex figure: in the face, he designs the guy's guy Southern gentleman, he made his name in dance films, his filmography littered along with popcorn and a movie collaboration with Steven Soderbergh, Dito Montiel, and Kimberly Peirce. In spite of this simple screen people who gave Sucsy pause, a former model and stripper is currently the practice of the manufacturer.

The "Oath" Tatum character, Leo, based on Kim Carpenter, New Mexico man, two-month marriage to his wife was turned Krickitt in a car accident. The accident permanently robbed Krickitt years memories - including all its relations. Film chronicles the struggle of Leo, to bring his wife Paige, who not only do not remember it, but now is very different people, without the last five years of growth and change. Those sharp differences, in particular, why Sucsy "white knight" is first transmitted to the role - the actor was concerned about who can cope with the problems of Paige.

"You have to play in the two men," says Tatum. "But the second, I thought it would be very difficult for the audience when he's not playing correctly care. It can be very unpleasant. But then, when Rachel (McAdams) on the left, between her and Michael, I knew that it would be well done. "

McAdams instrumental

But the plight of how the action will be taken Paige is not small, and a novice producer Tatum noticed it right away (it does not produce the "Oath" of its future projects in the next month, "21 Jump Street").

"It was interesting that in his time: What would you say this in terms of Paige you'd have to tell him of the sequence, in a sense?" Thinks Star. "You could tell the first part of his life, (her then-fiance), my mother and father, and she is going to law school, and then suddenly she woke up in another life. This is all fine and dandy, but you feel that you someone cheated.

"People do not realize it was not just that she woke up and there was this guy claims that her husband ... was a four or five years in which her whole life changed. She went on talking with parents and being in the legal school and engaged to someone else, and when you wake up, everything that happened. Now you're a sculptor and you do not know how to sculpt, and you have a husband, you've never seen before and you have to live with a stranger .... This, I think it's very hard for people to see, especially when she said my eyes. "

Storytelling instincts

Instincts Tatum appeared in the story in his approach to nature. Both the director and stars say Leo was too stoic in previous projects. "He was like a Buddha," Tatum said. "I thought," Come on, man, at some point you have to crack. "Sucsy said input Tatum helped rub nerves raw Leo.
