Channing Tatum to play Patrick Swayze in 'Ghost' remake

Actor Channing Tatum has admitted that he is hatching plans to make remakes of the 1990 melodrama Ghost, to which his production company Free Association owns the rights.

According to the artist, he wants to become the director of the project himself, and, perhaps, write the script for the film. He will also play the lead role, brilliantly played by Patrick Swayze more than thirty years ago.

At the same time, Tatum noted that his picture will only be a remake, because there "a lot will look under a different sauce."

“I will not in the full sense of the word replay the role of Patrick Swayze. It will be something almost original,” said the artist.

As for the original ghost, in 1990, the story of a bank clerk (Patrick Swayze) who, after his death, helped his girlfriend (Demi Moore), collected the biggest box office in cinemas and received two Oscar statuettes.
