Channing Tatum, Gay Rom-Com Movie Project: 'Bridesmaids' Director Eying 'White House Down' Actor for Same Sex Romance Film

Paul Feig, the filmmaker behind Bridesmaids, is reportedly working on a new movie project described as a same sex romantic comedy. According to a new report, Feig reportedly offered one of the roles to Hollywood leading man Channing Tatum. The buzz around the movie would certainly benefit from Tatum's involvement, but are his fans ready for him to take on such a role?

Cinema Blend reports:

"The biggest news Feig dropped between courses was that he is in development on a romantic comedy in which he'd like Tatum to star, which he expects will turn the genre on its head (worth noting-- Tatum's reps have emphasized that Feig's enthusiasm does not mean anything is actually happening yet. So this is mainly wishing and hoping at this point). But before you start pondering which pretty starlet with share space on its poster, let me tell you it's a gay rom-com. It's premise is that a normal schmo gets involved with someone as crazy hot as the Sexiest Man of The Year, and basically can't cope. In mind to co-star opposite Tatum, or a Tatum-type at least, is SNL's newcomer, John Milhiser. Feig has been a fan of this comedian for years, and actually introduced him to Lorne Michaels." 

Feig recently revealed that Tatum hasn't signed on for the project, but the actor is who the director has in mind for the role if he could have a dream casting.
