After taking a step back for a few years, it appears Channing Tatum is ready to make his comeback with numerous projects. His first project, “Dog,” which he co-wrote and co-directed alongside Reid Carolin, just arrived in theaters over the past weekend, and he has another film, “The Lost City,” coming later this year. But that’s not all, as he continues to sign up for new projects, including an English-language remake of the 2019 German film, “System Crasher.”

According to Deadline, Channing Tatum has been signed on to star and produce the English-language remake of the 2019 film, “System Crasher,” from MGM. The original film, directed by Nora Fingscheidt, who recently helmed the Netflix hit, “The Unforgivable,” tells the story of a young girl with a traumatic past as she bounces from various child-services homes after displaying aggressive tendencies. She then is paired up with a mentor who helps her grow and connect with a newfound love of boxing.
