Channing Tatum is set to join Ryan Phillippe in Paramount Pictures Iraq war drama
Stop Loss, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The feature, helmed by Kimberly Peirce, tells the story of a soldier (Phillippe) who finishes a tour of duty in Iraq only to be told that he has to serve another so he goes AWOL. Tatum plays a hot-shot fighter from Texas.
Shooting was originally slated to begin in April, but due to casting taking longer than expected it is currently being worked around Phillippe's schedule.
