Rupert Wyatt to film GAMBIT in New Orleans.

Producer Reid Carolin revealed to Screen Rant that director Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Gambler) will film GAMBIT in New Orleans this Fall.

“Yeah, that we’ll shoot that in the fall,” he says. “We’ll probably start that in late October/November in New Orleans. Rupert Wyatt is our director, he’s pretty cool. I think the script is really good. To be honest, I don’t watch big movies for pleasure a lot, but this script convinced me that we should be making this movie, so…”

Carolin says that Channing Tatum is putting in work on his Cajun accent and that he’s learning card tricks as we speak.

“I don’t think he has it [the accent] yet. Last night we were with my friend who I went to college with, this guy David Kwong who is an incredible magician and he was teaching Chan how to throw cards and do slight of hand and all that, so we’re producing that and I’m mostly just writing stuff, both things are female-driven but they’re totally different kinds of stories.”

The film comes to theaters on October 7, 2016.
