Tatum is going to Knockout

Channing Tatum attempts acting once again as he signs on to be in Steven Soderbergh’s newest movie Knockout. Tatum joins up on the cast that includes Michael Douglas, Ewan McGregor, Dennis Quaid and Michael Fassbender. Tatum will play one of the elite specialists on Gina Carano’s team named Aaron — a military gearhead-type who’s sent to try and bring her back in once she’s been double-crossed and gone rogue; trying to figure out who exactly is setting her up. But there is no love lost between the characters which makes his mission more difficult (The Playlist).

Not only is Tatum signing up to be in the film but Antonio Banderas is also in talks to be in it. They say that they want to get the movie released by August since they are going to try and start filming as soon as February. Lionsgate is handling the distribution and Oceans 11 to 13 composer David Holmes will be writing the score for the feature.
