Channing Tatum Will Star in and Direct an Army Ranger Road Trip Comedy Called DOG

Channing Tatum is set to star in and make his directorial debut with a new film project titled Dog. The film is a road-trip comedy that follows a former Army Ranger and his dog. Tatum will co-direct the film with regular collaborator Reid Carolin. The two talents also co-wrote the script.

Here are the story details that were revealed by Yahoo:

Tatum will play Army Ranger Briggs who, alongside his companion Lulu, a Belgian Malinois, haul ass down the Pacific Coast in time to catch their best friend’s – and handler’s – funeral.

One of them has a week to live, the other lives like every day is his last. Together, they’ll drive each other insane, break a small handful of laws, narrowly evade death at the hands of some overly aggressive pot farmers, confront the possibility that pet psychics are real, teach each other how to love again, and give each other a chance for new life.

That sounds like it will be a charming and heartwarming movie. FilmNation is producing the film and principal photography is slated for spring-summer 2020.
