Channing Tatum will team up again with his “21 Jump Street” directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller on a monster movie at Universal based on one of the studio’s iconic monster characters, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap. Tatum will star in the film that is described as a tongue-in-cheek thriller set in the modern day and based on one of the classic Universal monster movie characters — which the studio declined to name. Lord and Miller will not direct, just produce. No director has been set. Tatum’s producing partner at their company Free Association, Reid Carolin, came up with the original idea for the film and wrote a treatment. Wes Tooke (“Midway”) is writing the screenplay.
