Channing Tatum Set To Star in a Remake of the Acclaimed German Film SYSTEM CRASHER For MGM
MGM has acquired the rights to the acclaimed 2019 German film System Crasher and they plan to remake it for American audiences. Channing Tatum is set to star in the film and he will also produce with his producing partner Reid Carolin.
The story for the original film revolves around “a young girl with a traumatic past. Constantly moving from one child services home to the next because of her aggressive behavior, she’s labeled a ‘system crasher’ and seen as a hopeless cause. That’s until she gets paired with a caring, but tough anger management coach. They form an unlikely bond and he helps her helps her find peace by reconnecting her with nature and also nurturing her passion for boxing.”
Tatum will obviously take on the role of the anger management coach. I’ve never seen this movie, but it sounds like it tells a moving and powerful story. I like films like this and the remake will be set in the U.S. and “look to also shine a light on childhood trauma, and healing.”
Garret Levitz, a producer on Tatum’s recent film Dog, will write the script. Nora Fingscheidt, who wrote and directed the original will be executive producer on the remake. Fingscheidt just directed the Sandra Bullock-starrer The Unforgivable for Netflix.
