Logan Lucky starring Channing Tatum is now filming in Atlanta, Georgia.
The weather in Atlanta has consistently been around 90 degrees all summer and Atlanta is about to get even hotter as, Channing Tatum is headed to the ATL to film his new movie.
According to reports, Channing Tatum is teaming up with James Bond’s Daniel Craig and legendary director Steven Soderbergh for Logan Lucky.
The film’s plot revolves around a heist at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina during a NASCAR Sprint Cup race. Think of it as something of a cross between Days of Thunder and Ocean’s Eleven.
According to Variety, Soderbergh, who has just finished working on TV shows like The Knick and The Girlfriend Experience, fell in love with the movie’s script and personally chose to work with Tatum after casting him in the hit thriller Side Effects, the stripper comedy Magic Mike and Haywire.
Soderbergh, who won the best director Oscar for “Traffic” in 2000, will most likely return to TV after working on this feature film in Atlanta, Georgia as he prepares to move forward with a third season of The Knick as well as his HBO TV pilot Mosaic starring Sharon Stone.
Meanwhile, Channing Tatum is expected to star in the new Gambit movie, which was supposed to have started filming last year but, due to script issues filming was pushed back for an entire year.
Stay tuned for casting calls, acting jobs, and entertainment news for Logan Lucky.
