Red Shirt is already on the market and many studios have made offers. It looks like this thriller-tinged spy movie could be sold out before Thanksgiving. Channing Tatum is having a stellar year with two hits: MGM’s Dog and Paramount’s Lost City. Lost City grossed almost $200 million worldwide, while Dog grossed $84 million on a $15 million budget.
Will James Bond with the red shirt soon have a serious competitor?
David Leitch is filming his summer hit Bullet Train, which grossed $240 million worldwide. He’s about to start filming Fall Guy with Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Finally, Simon Kinberg is currently producing his Apple TV+ series Sugar with Colin Farrell and is also developing a new Battlestar Galactica film.
