Topic: Gambit Movie News

[Moonlight Nightmare]

Fingers crossed it's not true, this was not the news I wanted to wake up to 

I'm actually hurt by this, my only hope is this will not be pushed back another year.

Your telling me, its truly the only movie I would have go to see in the theater

Okay, the original article that started all this.

Speculation is all we've got no matter how many places find a way to retell this story. Until Fox, and Tatum respond or state something, all we've got is a story running amok.

I have never heard an actor leave due to a budget before, it all seems fishy. Cause with production only being 75 days he could easily do both after Gambit is put in post production, many actors have done movies back to back so its not uncommon

How many actor's are an active producer of the film they are in? A cut to the budget effects him and his company. Most of the time an actor is also producing, its because of the studio. Typically its a smaller studio, which gives the actor a lot of leverage. Not the case. This is a juggernaut in the form of Fox. Negotiations can be tricky because in the end, they don't really need him if push comes to shove... I personally don't want to lose Tatum.

Already went to twitter and asked him to not drop Gambit off!

I hope Tatum would stay. He deserves to be Gambit.

[andrei]

yeah, me too! If it wasn't for him, nothing would show up... hope it ends well. People also pointed for Affleck leaving BvS, and also there was that HUGE Spiderman talk. And big sites where all about Asa Butterfield as a closed deal.

His name has been removed from IMDB Gambit 2016.

Fingers crossed we get an up date about this soon.

If Tatum is no longer on board, how the hell will they make this film work?

Brining back Kitsch would be a horrible choice and let's be honest a step backwards. Tatums star pull has gone if he does leave.

If they bring in a fresh new face, it will be a bigger gamble.

It's sadly a waiting game now. It's such a shame as pre-production was going so well but actors dropping out can happen. My only hope is we still get a Gambit film.

Tatum leaving the role does increase the risk or at least the perception of more risk moving on without him. I am hoping that him leaving or the possibility of leaving the role is just him playing hardball in order to make a better movie. I would like to see a Gambit movie, and he seemed so eagered to play the role.

[Miss Misery]

It's back up on IMDB. Over on those message boards and on tumblr people are celebrating and posting unknowns and has-beens for Remy. It kills me.

[Nekobaghira]

Tatum was always polarizing for the role.  As much as Gambit himself.  I'll wait to see Fox gives the details.

Brett White's open letter to Tatum:

thats hilarious the way he keeps changing his name 

[AnimatedPhil]

thats hilarious the way he keeps changing his name 

Exactly what I was thinking. haha.

I'm thinking it's going to all work out. I think this may really just be a way to see how much interest there is int eh film with this. And it lasted 15+ hours of news cycle. Trending #1 worldwide on twitter and Facebook. I think Fox has to give in to whatever he wants.

[Nekobaghira]

There is the rumor that this was generated to hide FF's new film stuff, can't recall where I read that but I'm sure its one of the links in this thread.  LOL

Channing were born to play Gambit was my favourite part.
