We're being told that Channing Tatum (Fighting, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Public Enemies) has been cast in The Pang Brothers' (The Eye) latest genre effort, The Darkness. Based on the on the Garth Ennis ("Preacher") David Wohl and Mark Silvestri comic, on the eve of his 21st birthday, Jackie was targeted for assassination by the don of the New York mafia, "Uncle" Paulie. He finds his body possessed by "the Darkness" , a malevolent spirit that has inhabited his family for several generations, with the benefit of giving Jackie supernatural powers that feeds off the dark.

I've never read this book. Is it any good?

Never read the book as well, but this sounds interesting....

And since when was Channing Tatum in Public Enemies?

EDIT: nvm Tatum played Pretty Boy Floyd, it just really dosent look like him but i trust imdb

The video game is actually a great play through for the story. If you have a PS3 I recommend checking it out.

Not sure about the actor though...

I love the video game. The story was really the best part of the game.

The story could be made into a nice movie, though the game itself was only slightly above average (due to very repetitive gameplay).

Comic was absolutely fan bloody tastic. The game for the PS3 was aslo very good considering it was an early entry on the platform. Will look out for this film with interest. Greenscar, you just made me happy

The game was great! Hopefully they can have Mike Patton doing the voice again.

KingBing · 07-29-2009, 01:07 PM

The game was awesome, Hope the movie is at least half as good

iori · 07-29-2009, 01:14 PM

Hope something better happens with the casting.

Teabaggins · 07-29-2009, 01:40 PM

the original comic was cool as shit.

Channing tatum is the last person who should be in this....well, maybe a reanimated John Candy would be a worse choice

Monkey · 07-29-2009, 03:57 PM

Smallville guy or Harry Potter kid could do it, haha

I watched an interview with him one time and I think he might be slightly mentally challenged.

I saw him get interviewed during a UFC event and got the same impression, but I wasn't sure if he was a tard or just in awe
