New Gambit Reveals Point To The Film's Villain, Other Major Characters http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Gambit-Reveals-Point-Film-Villain-Other-Major-Characters-73437.html

With a release date set for October of next year, Rupert Wyatt’s Gambit movie is expected to go into production very soon… but at this point it seems like the film still has a lot of stuff to take care of in pre-production. Set to play the titular mutant, a.k.a. Remy LeBeau, Channing Tatum is currently the only actor attached to the project, and it’s extremely unlikely that 20th Century Fox plans to keep it that way. But who exactly will the characters be that surround the A-lister in the future comic book blockbuster? Today it seems that the future is a little less hazy.In addition to saying that filming is planning to begin in New Orleans this fall, Showbiz 411 claims to have gotten its hands on a casting call for Gambit. The site has a list of 14 names in total – some obviously being much smaller roles than others – but there are four code-named descriptions in particular that stand out in the list, one of which may point at the film’s central antagonist. Let’s dive deeper into this, shall we?

Channing Tatum Exits ‘X-Men’ Spinoff Movie ‘Gambit’ http://www.rickey.org/channing-tatum-exits-x-men-spinoff-movie-gambit/283686/

A major change is in store for the X-Men franchise.Channing Tatum has exited the upcoming X-Men spinoff titled Gambit, which was scheduled to start filming in October from a script by Josh Zetumer (the RoboCop remake) and direction by Rise of the Planet of the Apes helmer Rupert Wyatt. But now? The future of the film is completely up in the air. To say 20th Century Fox was blindsided by this is an understatement, as the studio is still in the process of screen-testing actresses for the lead female role, with SPECTRE star Lea Seydoux among the frontrunners for the part.
