Apologies for the delay in updates these few days, My computer was not working since Saturday evening so I wasn’t able to come online at all. Anyways I think everything is back to normal again so I caught the site up on news and articles. One thing also worth mentioning is 21 came in #1 for the second week in a row! Raking in another $15+ million. Big congrats to Jim for the deserved success.
As I mentioned last week Jim is featured in several magazines right now. I now have added scans from most of them: Alternative Press (May), Brazillian Elle (April) thanks to Mariana, Improper Bostonian (March 19 - April 1) and clippings. I will be scanning my other Jim mags when time permits. Enjoy the reading!
Last week Jim made his rounds to some talk shows and I now have caps and some clips of these appearances for you. Thanks to ‘visiontellie2′ for the Kimmel clip! This isn’t the entire The Sauce interview because it’s not available, but there is a cam version on Youtube if you wish to see it in it’s entirety atleast. He was also interviewed by Spill.com recently about 21, it’s such a priceless interview worthy of a download for sure!

I have uploaded a bunch of new pictures of Jim for today. Including new additions to the 21 premieres, ShoWest and a new photoshoot picture from this year.
Also, Jim has been featured in some mags this year and his in some currently some on sale now. I will be doing my best to get these to make scans for the site, so be on the lookout for those soon, hopefully I will be able to have them this week!
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.
