Latino Review’s Umberto Gonzalez tweeted<\/a> a scoop regarding the search for a director to helm Channing Tatum’s GAMBIT<\/a> solo film. Tatum, who’s also a producer on the project, allegedly seeked out directors Bennett Miller<\/strong> (Foxcatcher) and Darren Aronofsky<\/strong> (Noah), who both passed on the offer.<\/p>\n

It’s apparent Tatum and producers are going for some big names. Hopefully one will catch. The film is being written by Josh Zetumur, based off a treatment by comic creator Chris Claremont. It’s the third X-Men related entry due in 2016.<\/p>\n

Thievery commences on October 7, 2016.<\/p>\n
