Channing Tatum’s has just wrapped filming on his underground street fighting drama, “Fighting”, with Oscar-nominated actor Terrence Howard.
In the film being compared to Brad Pitt’s “Fight Club”, Channing plays Sean Arthur, a young man who scrapes up a living hustling counterfeit merchandise in NYC. With family tragedy in his past and his father keeping him at a distance, this outsider has little to motivate him. A chance encounter with veteran street-fighting coach Harvey Boarden (Howard) leads to a whole new career for Sean. The ensuing bouts get tough, especially with the criminal element horning in, so Sean gets tougher. He will fight to win, not only the prize money but also the unexpected new relationships that are strengthening him.”
“Fighting” is being distributed by Rogue Pictures and currently does not have a release date set, but is expected to arrive in theaters at some point in 2008.
