“I very nearly lost my mind,†admitted Across the Universe star Jim Sturgess about staying in Las Vegas for over a month to shoot 21, his latest film.
Jim, who won fans as the lead in the Beatles music-inspired Across, plays one of the M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) students who are recruited by an unorthodox math professor (Kevin Spacey) to make millions of dollars at blackjack tables in Las Vegas casinos.
The high stakes action-adventure, directed by Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde, Monster-in-Law), is based on Ben Mezrich’s Bringing Down the House, which reveals how a real-life team of gifted college students beat casinos in Vegas and elsewhere around the world by counting cards and using an elaborate system of signals.
According to MovieWeb, 21 will be released on July 22 with some nice features! No word on a region 2 release as of yet, but I’ll keep you posted.
Get ready to count some cards in Sin Ciy on DVD and Blu-Ray this July. 21 is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray on July 22. The film will be released in a single-disc version, two-disc version and Blu-Ray version, although cover art and pricing details have not been released yet. The film stars Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth, Aaron Yoo, Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne. It’s based on book Bringing Down the House.

21 is still holding strong at the box office. This week it managed to earn $11,000,000 and held a number 3 position behind the debuts of Prom Night and Street Kings. The film has collected $62.3 million so far and it took about $35 million to make.
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!
