Perhaps realizing that the road to a possible Oscar nomination is paved with shattered glass from a mirror he just headbutted, Channing Tatum says he plans to spend more time directing in the coming years. The first project on his docket is an adaptation of the young-adult novel Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock for the Weinstein Company, which he will co-direct with frequent producing partner Reid Carolin. The novel, written by Matthew Quick (who also wrote the novel Silver Linings Playbook), examines a troubled high schooler who plans to kill his best friend and then himself. Tatum likely will star as a heroic teacher who intervenes, which may sound like a spoiler, but we don’t know exactly how he intervenes (more head butts would probably work). Tatum and Carolin also are set to co-direct the crime thriller The Son, based on a novel by Jo Nesbo, for Warner Brothers.
