Channing Tatum is reportedly attached to star as a mermaid – well, a merman – in a gender flipped remake of Splash.
The Magic Mike star , 36, is being lined up to play the lead opposite Jillian Bell in the new film, according to Deadline.
In the 1984 original, a young man (Tom Hanks) reunites and falls in love with a mermaid (Daryl Hannah) who saved him from drowning as a boy.
