21 hit theaters stateside today (March 28th), I hope you all will go out and check it out this weekend if you haven’t already! To celebrate I have capped all the available online clips and added some production stills, many thanks to Riikka for her help with the HQs.
I posted some reviews earlier, people are definitely liking Jim in the role. I just got back from seeing the film not to long ago and I really enjoyed it! I wouldn’t go as far as to consider it a favorite of mine personally, but it was definitely enjoyable and I do strongly recommend it to Jim fans to see for his performance. I really thought he did great and you were rooting for his character all the way, his slightly darker side was even new and refreshing to see. I do not not think the film would have been as good or entertaining as it was without the perfect casting of Jim for Ben Campbell, certainly Jim has a lot more to him than just the “pretty boy” looks on the surface people tend to only see. He really handled the role quite nicely!
Ben Mezrich’s page-turning nonfiction book Bringing Down the House tells the story of six MIT students who card-counted their way to millions in Vegas. Now it’s a Hollywood movie, 21, starring Jim Sturgess as blackjack team ace Ben Campbell, which opens today. (Campbell is based on Jeff Ma, who in the book is named Kevin Lewis. Yeah, it’s kinda confusing.)
What got you interested in 21?
When I first read the script I had no idea it was based on true events, so I viewed it as just a good script and a great story. Then the minute I was told it really happened, when I was told these guys went to Vegas and pulled this thing off, I was immediately more intrigued.
Jim has been very busy promoting 21 as we all know and there are several video clips of new interviews floating around the web. I have capped 5 today and added the videos to the Media Archive. Jim also made an appearance on the morning show CW 11 yesterday, clip and caps of that have been added as well. Happy downloading!

Yesterday Jim stopped by Fuse’s show The Sauce to discuss 21, later that night he also attended the The Cinema Society hosted screening of the film. I have added a bunch of pictures from both of these events. Hopefully we will get the video of The Sauce later this week!
