Relativity’s President of Worldwide Production, Tucker Tooley, is thrilled by the deal, stating, “Channing is an immensely talented actor and incredibly enthusiastic about finding material to produce with Reid. We look forward to working with the two of them over the coming years.”

Tatum and Carolin’s next project, Ten Year – which also stars development partner and Tatum’s wife, Jenna Dewan – is not included in the recently inked deal. Though, in-development titles The Contortionist’s Handbook, What’s Left of Us, and 11 Minutes – all potentially starring Tatum – are possible partnership opportunities.

Until the first partnership comes to fruition, Tatum can be seen in a wide variety of high-profile films: The Dilemma with Vince Vaughn and Kevin James, The Eagle with Jamie Bell, The Son of No One with Al Pacino and Katie Holmes, and The Vow with Rachel McAdams. Tatum also stars in Relativity’s upcoming star-packed thriller, Haywire, featuring Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Michael Angarano, and Gina Carano.

Since Tatum is currently one of the hottest stars in Hollywood, this deal is an especially prudent move on the part of Relativity. As Tatum’s star power will inevitably rise with these projects, so too will Relativity’s.
