“We actually have the rights,” Tatum said. “Yeah, we have the rights to ‘Ghost.'”
According to Vanity Fair, “He tells [us] about how his production company, Free Association, is trying to pull together a remake of ‘Ghost,’ with him potentially playing the Patrick Swayze role.”

A masterpiece of its genre, Jerry Zucker’s “Ghost” featured Patrick Swayze as a deceased banker seeking revenge from beyond the grave. Teamed up with Whoopi Goldberg – who won an Academy Award for her performance- and Demi Moore, this film was highly acclaimed by critics and grossed over $505 million worldwide! Garnering five Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, it became the most influential film in 1990, ranking third highest-grossing movie then.
If a remake of “Ghost” comes to fruition, it will not be Channing Tatum’s first time reimagining an iconic comedy. In the past, he was attached to star alongside Jillian Bell in a revamp of the classic mermaid romantic-comedy “Splash,” though unfortunately, nothing has come out yet. As for his upcoming works – get ready for Magic Mike’s Last Dance, set to hit theaters on February 10 from Warner Bros!
