Tatum revealed during the chat that his production company Free Association, formally known as 33&Out, currently has the rights to Ghost.
Giving insight into his idea for the upcoming project, he said that it will be a modern take on the original film, with him potentially in the male lead role. “But we are going to do something different,” he spilled, adding that the original, like many movies of its day, contained some “problematic stereotypes”. He added, “I think it needs to change a little bit.”

Tatum also addressed the status of the X-Men Gambit movie that had been in development at 21st Century Fox, before it was acquired by the Walt Disney Company. “It got swallowed up into Disney by way of Marvel when they bought Fox, and ultimately I just think that the tone of the movie we wanted to make was far from what they wanted to do or maybe, they’re waiting to see how they do it with us or without us,” he said.
