During an interview with Vanity Fair on the occasion of the upcoming premiere of ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’, Channing Tatum has dropped the atomic bomb while, very opportunely, he made pottery; revealing that his production company Free Association has taken over the rights to ‘Ghost’ to create a new version of the 1990 hit and joking with the situation: “Now I understand why they put [alfarería] in ‘Ghost’. The whole process is very, very sexual.”.
As confirmed by the actor, will play the role played by Patrick Swayze in the original, adding that go to “do something different” to avoid some problematic aspects of the story that screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin outlined. According to Tatum, “needs to change a bit”leaving up in the air on what exactly.
Jerry Zucker’s ‘Ghost’ managed to gross $550 million worldwide and win two Oscars —specifically, those for best supporting actress for Whoopi Goldberg and best original script—, becoming the highest grossing title of its year and the third in history by then. There is no doubt that Tatum and company have a very difficult time to match the feat.
