Say what you will about Screen Gems and the quality of their product (Legion, Dear John), the small money Sony branch knows how to make box office mountains out of budgetary molehills. Especially if Channing Tatum is involved.
Tack another one on the board. Tatum will star alongside Rachel “yet to prove her box office worth” McAdams in The Vow, directed by Michael Sucsy (HBO’s Grey Gardens). The film tells of newlyweds who, while driving, are rear-ended. The wife loses all recent memory, marriage included. It’s like 50 First Dates done seriously. [Deadline]
Spyglass is co-producing and Sucsy is doing a script rewrite. Dear John made $80 million domestic off a slender $25 million budget, so this thing should fair well no matter what.
Are you interested in another Channing Tatum weepy? You can be honest.
