THR:
The script was penned by Josh Zetumer and has Channing Tatum set to star.
Twentieth Century Fox’s X-Men spinoff Gambit has found its director.
Rupert Wyatt, who directed Fox’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, will direct the comic book movie that has Channing Tatum attached to star, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The project is one of the studio’s priorities and has a release date of Oct. 7, 2016.
Josh Zetumer penned the script for the film, which is being produced by Tatum, Reid Carolin, Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I'm fine with them doing a spinoff of Gambit but Tatum playing the part doesn't feel right to me.....don't know why yet but I feel it so there must be a reason.
Seems like a step down after Apes, you think they would have gotten a younger director for the role. Maybe he's just doing a penance for how awful the Gambler was.
