Channing Tatum's Upcoming Movie Pulls Steven Soderbergh Out Of Retirement? Title Not In Place Yet?
There's a new title in the long list of Channing Tatum movie, but no one knows much about it yet, Screen Crush reported.
More exciting about the "Magic Mike XXL" star's movie is the return of Steven Soderbergh, dubbed "the Michael Jordan of the filmmaking world" according to Screen Crush, out of his own retirement.
The actor and Soderbergh had worked together in the Magic Mike films, one of the most popular among Channing Tatum's movies. The director initially said a few years back that he would no longer work in show business to choose a quieter life.
"Soderbergh will take the helm for Lucky Logan, a movie that is not about male strippers despite its 'adjective + man's name' title combo reminiscent of Magic Mike, with former collaborator Channing Tatum in the leading role," Variety reported as shared by Screen Crush.
However, there is still no word on the details of the film, except that the two will work together. Variety, according to Screen Crush, initially reported that the film would be called "Hillbilly Heist," but that is allegedly not true.
Deadline, meanwhile, said that Matt Damon could also be involved in the upcoming Channing Tatum movie entitled "Logan Lucky."
So far, the reports contradict one another, and the absence of leaked or released production notes is not helping.
We Got This Covered, however, quoted Soderbergh, who corrected the Variety article.
"That Variety story is wrong. What a shock," tweeted Soderbergh.
According to We Got This Covered, the film could involve a heist reminiscent of "Ocean's 11."
"Neither a confirmation nor a denial, we now wait patiently for Steven Soderbergh to divulge new details on Lucky Logan and his potential involvement. One thing's for sure, though, it appears 2012's Side Effects won't be his final feature film after all," We Got This Covered said.
