We pay for your stories!Do you have a story for The US Sun team? Brace yourself. Channing Tatum is working on a movie that features him and a dog. Not just any dog. This motion picture, co-directed by Tatum, is based on his real-life dog who passed away in 2018. Tatum and his ex-wife shared custody of Lulu, a Pit Bull Catahoula mix who they adopted from a shelter in Alabama. Don’t worry
though. This movie is said to be less like Marley and Me and more of a gut-busting comedy! The movie was written by Tatum’s longtime pal Reid Carolin. It tells the story of gruff Army Ranger Briggs and Belgian Malinois Lulu. Yep, they even used Lulu’s name to honor her! It
follows the pair on a road trip down the Pacific Coast to a fellow soldier’s funeral. The duo apparently has quite the adventure getting there filled with law-breaking and death-defying scenarios. In the end, both Briggs and Lulu teach each other what it means to love again as they both find a second chance at life. The movie is scheduled to come out on Valentine’s Day weekend in 2021. Now, it might not quite be on the same level as Magic Mike but can Channing Tatum really get any cuter
than cuddling a dog? Nah, don’t think so. Tatum’s love for the real Lulu was never a secret. The two were even known to recreate the iconic Dirty Dancing scene. Lulu grew to become the proud protector of Tatum’s young daughter, Everly. When Lulu died in 2018, Tatum and his ex-wife, Jenna
Dewan, were heartbroken.
Like any dog parent, Tatum and Dewan struggled to find comfort in their grief.
