Gordon-Levitt might direct Tatum in R-rated film

Los Angeles March 25 (IANS) Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in talks to direct and star alongside actor Channing Tatum in an upcoming R-rated musical comedy film with a working title Wingmen.

An R-rated film requires people under-17 to be accompanied by their parent or an adult guardian.

Gordon-Levitt and Tatum will also produce the film along with Marc Platt Adam Siegel and Peter Kiernan. It will focus on the story of two pilots (Gordon-Levitt and Tatum) who crash-land in Las Vegas reports aceshowbiz.com.

The movie is said to be a combination of Pitch Perfect and Broadway musical The Book of Mormon with a touch of adult humour.

Wingmen will not go on the floors anytime soon as Tatum is about to begin filming action-thriller Triple Frontier alongside Tom Hardy.

If a deal is struck the movie will mark Gordon-Levitt s return as director after 2013 romantic comedy drama Don Jon.
