Channing Tatum will be a sexy merman in Splash remake
Channing Tatum has been attached to star in a new version of 1984s Splash. The original saw Tom Hanks fall for the half fish Daryl Hannah and we're getting a gender flip this time- Tatum will be the merman while 22 Jump Streets Jillian Bell is the landlubber.
That's reason enough for a new take, and Tatum is a great pick for the literal fish out of water element. He's also been really pushing his comedy talents in recent years and together with Bridesmaids and Eastbound & Down alum Bell this should be a much funnier version of the story.
