As Channing Tatum has built himself into the hardest working man in show business, the one film that has had people talking around the grape drank cooler is Ten Year, the story of a group of friends who get together for their high school reunion and reflect on life. The buzz hasn’t been about what an awesomely unique idea it is, but more that it’s Tatum’s first time producing a feature film, and it could be his final step toward A-list status.

Obviously, we already consider Tatum an A-lister, because we have such a close relationship with him. But for the haters, as he calls them, this is indeed a wake-up call. Ten Year stars Tatum, his real life wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Chris Pratt (from Vince’s favorite show “Parks and Rec”), Ron Livingston, Lucy Hale (*SWOONS*), and Rosario Dawson, and it focuses on Tatum’s character, Jake, dealing with seeing his high school love (Dawson) and her husband at their high school reunion.

In the first clip released from Ten Year, we see Tatum taking some heat from his friends about his car, when he is suddenly taken aback by Dawson and her husband. You can check it out for yourself after the jump, as well as some additional commentary provided by my friend C-Tates, who is always glad to give us an exclusive interview.

When the trailer for Tony Scott’s Unstoppable (aka Train Day) hit a few weeks ago, it was hard for us here at FilmDrunk HQ to see it as anything but fertile ground for ridicule (to be fair, we said the same thing about a baby funeral).  While we rolled out our mash up parody a few weeks back, Saturday Night Live dropped theirs last night.  You can see theirs above, ours below.  Here’s my brief-but-totally-impartial analysis.

Theirs had:

• Jay Pharoah’s solid Denzell Washington impression
• Scarlett Johansson
• “The Chrysler Building”

Ours had:

• Brevity
• A theme
• Jesus

Giving them the benefit of the doubt (on account of their actually-pretty-funny Millionaire Matchmaker parody), we’ll call it a draw. That said, Seth Meyers still isn’t fit to hold my jock strap while I’m banging his mom.

This is the trailer for Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.  This one’s about a regular kid… who one day discovers… (*RECORD SCRATCH*) that he’s a descendant of the Greek Gods!  It’s based on a book by Rick Riordan that surely must’ve taken an entire afternoon to write, and directed by Chris “Mailin it in since 92″ Columbus.

It’s got a bunch of stars in the cast, like Uma Thurman and Rosario Dawson and Steve Coogan, but my favorite part of the trailer is the 43-45 second mark, where if you keep playing just that part, you can hear Pierce Brosnan call the kid with stupid hair and a cardigan “Pussy” over and over.  Try it after the jump.

(that train engine is actually 60 feet long)

Variety reports that Rosario Dawson has just joined the cast of Tony Scott’s upcoming Unstoppable alongside Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. Scheduled to begin shooting this fall, Unstoppable comes from writer Mark Bomback who recently penned the screenplay for 2007′s Race To Witch Mountain (oh great, so we’re in good hands then).

Unstoppable, a 20th Century Fox drama about a runaway train carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals. Pits an engineer and his conductor in a race against time. They’re chasing the runaway train in a separate locomotive and need to bring it under control before it derails on a curve and causes a toxic spill that will decimate a town. [IMDB]

The script is loosely based on actual events, which probably means that Mark Bomback once owned a train set…then again, maybe it’s actually based on the time that Denzel Washington and Chris Pine stopped an unmanned train. I don’t know, how should I know? I’m not the one who told you to cheat off me during this test. Well, regardless of whatever the hell it actually means to say that something is “inspired by true events”, I do believe that Mitch Hedberg said it best:
